AA BRONSON: “I’M AS FEARLESS AS I EVER WAS”

Mr. Bronson, is your identity as an artist separate from your identity as a person?

No, I don’t have any sense of separation. There’s not really a word for it, but it’s just who I am I just became the work! You know, my real name is Michael Tims but nobody’s called me that for a very long time, except for the visa people here in Berlin! The main problem these days is that I’m divided: it’s difficult separating my solo work as AA Bronson from my work as part of the art collective, General Idea, which I operated with Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal from 1967 until the mid 1990s. I have AA Bronson exhibitions and General Idea exhibitions, and AA Bronson catalogs and General Idea catalogs. But I continue to work in this way of doing a little bit of everything…
