About Felix Partz
Lived 1945 – 1994 (aged 48–49). Felix Partz was a Canadian artist, graphic artist, new media artist, video artist, multimedia artist and installation artist.
Ronald Gabe (1945 in Winnipeg, Manitoba – 1994), publicly known as Felix Partz, was a Canadian artist and cofounder of the artistic collective General Idea with Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson.
Partz studied at the University of Manitoba School of Art in Winnipeg, experimenting with conceptual art. During his studies, Partz created Some Art That I Like (1967), a series of copies of more famous works and an example of appropriation. The artist traveled in Europe and North Africa before settling in Toronto by 1969, where he ultimately became a member of the collective General Idea. Partz was photographed by collaborator AA Bronson in the final three weeks of his life, laying in bed alongside many of his favorite clothes and objects, including a photograph taken a few hours after his death, now held by the Whitney Museum.
Canadian musician Peaches recorded a song entitled "Felix Partz" on her album The Teaches of Peaches.
