Bronson’s odyssey as a visual artist is central to the exhibit. Along with Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal, Bronson founded the Canadian conceptual art group General Idea. The collaborative was more than just the exploration of media bombardment in the modern age, an omnipresent theme in their work. Rather, all three members doffed their former identities and names to form an all-encompassing way of art and life that lasted from 1969 until 1994. In 1994, General Idea dissolved when Zontal and Partz, so integral to Bronson’s artistic and personal life, died from AIDS...
...charged confrontation with death and life. His own nude image in a black casket-like box stands as a memorial to his past, and as a memorial to his own image as he moves into heartfelt works regarding the process of death.

I just can’t lose money at this table.” His hubris seems to have brought the wrath of the gambling gods upon him; after three more hands, Johnson ended up down $2,800. Having lost all his cash and maxed...
...opposite extreme from this image is Signac's wonderful and bizarre Portrait of Felix Feneon, Opus 217, 1890-91--the fox-jawed face with its little tuft of beard in profile, the hand holding a cyclamen, against a madly spiraling background of fruit-jelly abstract forms. The dandified, loony energy of Feneon's argot-filled writing seems impacted into that background, even though its source is a Japanese kimono pattern. My, you think, those guys must have had some laughs together. Which they...
