▪ 2009

      American artist

born Nov. 18, 1933, McPherson, Kan.

died July 7, 2008, San Francisco, Calif.
explored themes of light and dark in a wide variety of media, including assemblages, experimental film, drawings, and photograms. Associated with the San Francisco Bay Area Beat scene in the late 1950s, he first attracted attention with his complex assemblages of found objects. The best known of his short films (also collages of found and new footage) was the 12-minute A Movie (1958), which in 1991 was added to the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Other works include intricate mandala drawings, photograms of his body, ink-blot drawings, and small collages. Conner's art was acquired by several museums, including the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and was included in the 1996 exhibit “Beat Culture, 1950–1965” at the Whitney. In 1999–2001 a retrospective, “2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story Part II,” was mounted in several museums, starting with the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minn., and concluding at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
