“AIDS (Wallpaper)” is one aspect of the collective activism around the AIDS epi- demic. The wallpaper’s repeating logo is based on the well-known LOVE motif by mid-1960s artist Robert Indiana, of which General Idea was appropriated starting in 1987, exploiting the familiarity of the icon to communicate a message relevant to a new historical moment, as AIDS was becoming an international serious problem.
