A conversation between AA Bronson and Emily Pethick on the question of ‘how to work together?’.
This conversation event is organised in the context of the How to work together Think Tank.
Born in 1946 in Vancouver, Canada, AA Bronson currently lives and works in Toronto and Berlin. In 1969 he formed the artists’ group General Idea with Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal. Since his partners died in 1994, AA has worked and exhibited as a solo artist, often collaborating with younger generations, most recently in his performance series Invocation of the Queer Spirits. Since 1999 he has worked as a healer, an identity that he has also incorporated into his artwork. From 2004 to 2010 he was the Director of Printed Matter, Inc. in New York City, founding the annual NY Art Book Fair in 2005. In 2009 he founded the Institute for Art, Religion, and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, which he now co-directs.
