Bruce Conner first came to prominence in the late 1950s as a West Coast leader of the burgeoning assemblage movement. Working out of the Beat mecca of San Francisco, Conner had close ties with poets of the San Francisco Renaissance -- including Michael McClure and Gary Snyder -- as well as with artistic contemporaries such as Wallace Berman, George Herms, and Jay DeFeo. Since the late 1950s, Conner has also been recognized as a major figure in independent filmmaking. A contemporary of such luminaries as Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, and Jack Smith, Conner's innovative editing techniques and dark vision of American culture laid the foundation for later Hollywood mavericks such as Dennis Hopper, David Lynch, and Oliver Stone. 2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story Part II represents the most comprehensive book to date on Conner's work from the 1950s to the present -- a long overdue and significant addition to the understanding of 20th century American art and cinema. The authors elucidate Conner's work in film, assemblage, drawing, printmaking, collage, and photograms, as well as his more ephemeral gestures, actions, protests, and "escapes" from the art world. This is a landmark publication for anyone interested in contemporary art, film, culture, and the Best era.
