In this extended interview, Athey engages with and moves beyond the concerns of his denunciation by the late Jesse Helms, the implications of his Pentecostal upbringing, and the relations between his work and the cultural politics of HIV/AIDS, to discuss major themes in his practice, including: appropriation and cultural inheritance, the politics of punk and club performance, his idiosyncratic political anatomy of the body, and the interplay of his crucial themes, desire, pleasure, crisis and death. Dominic Johnson's critical introduction sets out cultural and historiographical contexts for Athey's reception and positioning in histories of art and performance since the early 1990s.Download of online publication.
