“We were all surrounded by pills. The pill became a sculptural form we turned into our art,” artist @aa_bronson, a member of the Canadian collective @generalidea_, remarked on the inspiration for Magi© Bullet, when it was first installed, in 1992, at the height of the AIDS crisis.

On #WorldAIDSDay, we're reflecting on the powerful work, which fills our fourth-floor gallery with pill-shaped mylar balloons. As the balloons’ helium levels decrease, they fall; you are invited to take a deflated balloon home with you. The installation gradually disappears over time, evoking the lives needlessly lost to aids because of state abandonment—and prompting comparison to the current global pandemic and the harm it’s wrought on our most vulnerable communities.

Comprising Bronson along with Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal, #GeneralIdea was active from 1967 until 1994, when Partz and Zontal passed away from AIDS-related illnesses.
