Reconstructuring Futures - 1977

The "1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion" was a fictional building General Idea conceived to house their ultimate beauty pageant planned for 1984. However, in 1977 - confusingly before the Pavillion was even meant to be built - it dramatically burned to the ground. "Reconstructuring Futures" was intended as the green room of the "Pavillion", where pageant participants would lounge before taking to the stage. Paradoxically, it includes images of its own destruction: photographs depict General Idea's courageous escape from the burning site.
