Bruce Conner has long seemed the consummate cult artist, quietly accumulating supporters over the past 45 years for his various films, assemblages, drawings, paintings, collages, photographs and occasional conceptual stunts. With his artistic restlessness and ornery integrity, Conner has found little time for the hype machine of the art world, scorning its emphasis on signature styles and artists' biographies.

Bruce Conner (1933-2008) worked in a variety of media, including assemblage, sculpture, painting, photography, and film. As a leader of the San Francisco Beat movement, he became known for making assemblages of broken dolls, old furniture, nylon, wax, rope, and shoes. He was inspired by Surrealism and Victorian aesthetics and often confronted ideas about death in his work. His assemblages were usually politically-charged and critical of consumerism in mainstream American society. In a letter to his friend Paula Kirkeby, Conner wrote, “my work is described as beautiful, horrible, hogwash, genius, maundering, precise, quaint, avant-garde, historical, hackneyed, masterful, trivial, intense, mystical, virtuosic, bewildering…” He concluded, “It’s all true.”

19. Bruce Conner: Mabuhay Gardens - BAMPFA
Bruce Conner's photographs from a legendary San Francisco nightclub document the demimonde of three-chord chaos that was the seventies punk scene.
If rock 'n' roll rose out of a culture of opposition, then the mid-seventies was a bad patch for rock 'n' roll. Corporate rock smothered the airwaves, while beat-heavy disco swept through the club scene, leaving platform shoes and polyester in its wake. In the midst of this malaise, punk, that dark, rousing outburst, was finding its first expression in a marginalized scene that embodied the ardent anarchy indigenous to youth culture. Not a ready commodity, punk was anti-music flung at the mawkish mainstream. In San Francisco, a failing Filipino supper club, the Mabuhay Gardens, became the unlikely haven for the punk scene. The thatched booths and tiki lamps bordered a stage where angst-ridden anthems ricocheted off the dilapidated walls. Into this demimonde of three-chord chaos came artist Bruce Conner, a proto-punk provocateur who scavenged cultural waste to construct his assemblages and found-footage films. Drawn to the...
