	"Bruce Conner in the Cultural Breach", by Kristine McKenna
		Conner the man is hardly what you'd expect in light of his work.
		Five years after moving to the Bay Area, Conner was getting a lot of positive feedback for these pieces, but by 1961 he was convinced the bomb was going to drop, so he moved to the mountains of Mexico to hide out.
		Conner's last burst of intense art activity came in 1978 when he became involved in the San Francisco punk scene as a staff photographer for fanzine Search and Destroy.

	After Bruce Conner :: American University Museum at the Katzen
		Conner, who officially retired as an artist at age 65 in 1999, is the "conductor," as Rasmussen puts it, for the inkblots created before and since.
		Acknowledged as one of America’s most influential artists, Conner was born in Kansas and earned his BFA degree at the University of Nebraska.
		Accompanying the exhibition are a Bruce Conner Film Festival and a fully illustrated catalog with an interview by Rasmussen.

	The Bruce Conner Story Continues Art Journal - Find Articles
		The title of the current exhibition, 2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story, Part II, is meant, the curators say, to draw attention to the fact that this is not a Conner retrospective but a reconsideration of his career and art from 1954 to the present.
		Conner's conceptual activities have certainly responded to the reception of his art, and his films were frequently shown at exhibitions of his assemblages and drawings.
		To demonstrate that Conner's collages and mandala, star, and inkblot drawings continue a project begun with his earlier assemblages, Boswell has concerned himself with Conner's use of light and dark values and with the rigorous production and visual complexity that makes Conner's work appear differently each time it is viewed.

	Bruce Conner Oral History Interview Conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian ...
		BRUCE CONNER: I don't think, I mean, compared to the kind of interest that people have now, you know, if you are in a town of 150,000 you are going to expect quite a few people to be interested in those things.
		BRUCE CONNER: Brooklyn Museum Art School was a surprise because I had a class where the head of the school would come by and say that he had noticed that most of the students did not have studios.
		BRUCE CONNER: After about one year there, there was a ruling that students could not use the facilities of the art department to create their paintings and send them off to shows.

		Conner's brushes with the beat, psychedelic and punk movements have imbued his works with a kind of mordantly comic social commentary.
		Conner's paranoic vision of the real-life Other is summed up in the photograph The Late Night Movie on TV: June 10, 1978 @ 1:20 to 1:27 AM: Sterns Motel in Venice, CA (1986), which captures the image of a giant eyeball from a TV horror movie.
		Conner's poetry is perhaps most clearly evoked in his early assemblages, such as El Macho/El Senor (1962), a funky commentary on male sexual posturing.

	Bruce Conner, Go Ask Tucker - the de Saisset Museum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bruce Conner was born in 1933 in McPherson, Kansas.
		Conner's voracious creativity was exercised in a variety of forms such as dance, film, photography, drawing, collage, and assemblage.
		This work might be variously interpreted, however it is certain that Conner was extremely concerned with communication and the disruption, distortion, and prevention of the free circulation of ideas.

		Conner's BREAKAWAY (1966), featuring a pre-"Mickey" Toni Basil, flares with a kineticism that cannot be fully reproduced by video, and his COSMIC RAY (1961) conveys the searing spirit of Ray Charles with greater dynamism than any biopic.
		Today works by Conner are on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Oakland Museum of California; the superb monograph 2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story Part II stems from a traveling exhibition that had a stay at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum.
		Conner knows what time it is: in the two decades I've been interviewing people, he's the only subject to ask if a cassette was about to run out precisely before it did.

	Hell on Frisco Bay: Bruce Conner's Permian Strata
		But like Louise Brooks, Conner was born in Kansas, and he related what it was like growing up in the same town as a retired Hollywood star, where he almost took dance classes at her studio, and almost got up the nerve to ring her doorbell once.
		Conner had utilized themes of blindness before, most notable in a pair of pieces relating to Ray Charles he made in 1961: the sculpture Ray Charles/Snakeskin and the film Cosmic Ray.
		I wonder if Conner is commenting specifically about video/multimedia as a kind of heir apparent, next generation medium for avant garde filmmaking, because it does take away certain material aspects of film in the final product, and with it, a kind of trial and error, "happy accident" creativity.

		The unique qualities of Bruce Conner's work is true independent film: one person concept, production, editing, filming, etc. They exploit the economic poverty of production cost by transforming the detritus and "defects" of the media from base lead into gold by the classic alchemy of creative art.
		Starting October 1999, a solo exhibition of Bruce Conner works will be exhibited at four museums starting with the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis featuring some of the many media that Bruce Conner has mastered: painting, sculpture, drawing, conceptual works, prints, assemblage, collage, photography as well as 8mm and 16mm films.
		Conner's editing is consummate as he alternates angles of her figure from different shots into a kinesthetic, flowing continuity.

		Today Conner is recognized as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
		Born in Kansas and later associated with the 1950s renaissance of poetry and visual art in San Francisco, Conner first attracted public attention with his moody nylon-shrouded assemblages--complex sculptures of such found objects as women's stockings, costume jewelry, bicycle wheels, and broken dolls, often combined with collaged or painted surfaces.
		If Conner's assemblages probed beneath the turbulent 1950s and 1960s, then his films from the same period further revealed the roots of this troubled American psyche.

	Caveh Zahedi - Blog (Bruce Conner)
		I had never seen the film before, and it made a big impression on me. But the main reason I went was because experimental film legend Bruce Conner was introducing the film.
		He's in his seventies now (he was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1933), and doesn't seem to be in the best of health.

		In 1978, Conner, long a figure in the avant-garde and bohemian subcultures that burgeoned in the San Francisco Bay Area, documented the nascent California punk scene that rallied around the area club Mabuhay Gardens.
		Teasing out the relationship between still photography and motion picture, Conner has slowed the film speed during transfer from 8mm to digital video, creating images that are alternately staccato and attenuated.
		Bruce Conner was born in 1933 in McPherson, Kansas, and studied at the University of Nebraska and Brooklyn Museum Art School.

	My Life in the Bush of Ghosts: WATCH
		In the course of recording this album Brian and I crossed paths with artist and filmmaker Bruce Connor, who lives in San Francisco.
		Bruce's' legendary "experimental" films are well known for their pioneering use of found footage, so it was natural that we approach him regarding the possibility of working together- which was more like suggesting he use some of the Bush of Ghosts tracks in a film or two, due to the similarities of our working methods.
		Connor mainly uses old educational films, science films, government footage and film footage that people throw out and then recuts them to new music, creating dark and sometimes hilarious moods and visual commentaries.

		In 1962, Bruce Conner left San Francisco and moved to Mexico, apparently intending to “wait out the impending nuclear holocaust” (1).
		Conner and Leary occupied themselves with mushroom hunts in the Mexican countryside.
		Conner cut Looking for Mushrooms down to 100 feet in 1965 in order to fit it into an endless-loop cartridge for continuous projection.

		The huge Bruce Conner retrospective, which ended July 31 at the de Young Museum (a wonderful place deeply redolent of OLD San Francisco) was amazingly varied and inspirational.
		Conner, even better than Warhol, has taken the mindset of Duchamp and extended it into virtually all the traditional media of artistic expression (and then some).
		The life-size "angel" series in which he lay on huge sheets of photo paper were interesting, although quickly encompassed.

	Bruce Conner: Unsung Artist (News) Leif Utne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bruce Conner may just be the greatest artist you've never heard of.
		"The key to understanding why Conner is not as rich or famous as contemporaries like Andy Warhol or Robert Rauschenberg lies in politics.
		Much of his multimedia work is a scathing critique of American society, and the nuclear terror that, in his view, pulses at the heart of the system." One example is Conner's anti-war sculpture BOX (1960), the figure of a charred child inside a burned box shrouded in nylon stockings.
