General Idea AIDS, 1989/2021
Lacquered metal
200,7 x 201,3 x 100,3 cm
General Idea's AIDS sculpture uses the format of "public sculpture" to address the AIDS pandemic, still one of the foremost international problems today. Unlike a traditional sculpture, the work is intended to receive grafitti and posters, and to act as a kind of record of an ongoing public dialogue. Created for the City of Hamburg in 1989, the work has since traveled across Europe and North America, from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to the van Abbemuseum Eindhoven.
