This month attempting to "capture glamour without falling into it". This is my loving tribute to the great Canadian conceptual art pranksters General Idea. Recently I dreamt I was attending their Miss General Idea Pageant of 1971. As far as I know there are no full video renderings of the event apart from a few grainy clips and staged photographs. Neither there is footage of the one they planned for 1984 in the imaginary ziggurat-shaped Miss General Idea Pavilion. Basically, I'm trying to resound the event by grafting the music (narratively, if you will) onto General Idea's various TV cues, forgeries, and mystifications. Or "framing devices" in the trio's own wording. 

Includes sounds, words and music by:
General Idea, Terre Thaemlitz, William Basinski, Graham Lambkin, The Caretaker, Svitlana Nianio, Su Tissue, Kraftwerk, Hype Williams, Anne Waldman, Einsturzende Neubauten, Laurence Crane, John Celona, Tom Recchion, Brigitte Fontaine, Jacqueline Humbert, Ellen Zweig and others.
