  GENERAL IDEA

  General Idea. Magi© Bullet, 1992
  and Magi© Carpet, 1992
  Now on view in MoMA, New York
  Floor 4, Gallery 414

  Created and first installed in 1992, General Idea's Magi© Bullet and Magi© Carpet are now on view at The Museum of Modern Art, New York as part of the Collection 1940's – 1970's. Curated by Thomas Lax, the gallery ceilings are filled with pill-shaped mylar balloons. As the balloons’ helium levels decrease, they fall and visitors are invited to take a deflated balloon home with them. The installation thus gradually disappears over time, evoking the lives needlessly lost to AIDS because of state abandonment. As stated by AA Bronson in 1992, "The pill became a sculptural form we turned into our art", reflecting during the height of the aids crisis.
