Looking for Bruce Conner (October Books) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Bruce Conner (1933-2008) produced a unique body of work that refused to be contained by medium or style. Whether making found-footage films, hallucinatory ink-blot graphics, enigmatic collages, or assemblages from castoffs, Conner took up genres as quickly as he abandoned them. His movements within San Franciscos counter-cultural scenes were similarly free-wheeling; at home in beat poetry, punk music, and underground film circles, he never completely belonged to any of them. Bruce Conner belonged to Bruce Conner. Twice he announced his own death; during the last years of his life he produced a series of pseudonymous works after announcing his retirement. In this first book-length study of Conners enormously influential but insufficiently understood career, Kevin Hatch explores Conners work as well as his position on the geographical, cultural, and critical margins.
