How to increase the value of a painting

January 20th, 2011Tim Saltarelli

In General Idea’s Shut the Fuck Up (1984), a video in which they “look at a media cliche of the artist,” the first of the video’s three parts includes an excerpt from a 1967 television episode of Batman, entitled “Pop Goes the Joker.” (The video also employs footage from Mondo Cane, a 1962 film of an Yves Klein painting performance, combined with documentation of General Idea’s own performance XXX Blue (1984) at the Centre d’art Contemporain in Geneva.)
