A humorously deadpan opening statement from General Idea reads: ' The head is separate; the hand is separate. Body and mind are separate. The hand is a mirror for the mind - wrap your arm over your head, lodging your elbow behind and grabbing your chin with your hand. The act is now complete. Held, your are holding. You are object and subject, viewed and voyeur.'.…
