The recent departure of the legendary Bruce Conner (1933-2008), continues to have a profound impact of both sorrow and glory. Tributes and retrospectives have been held around the world to reflect on his extraordinary life and visionary cinema.
Conner’s signature aesthetics have transcended beyond his name, becoming an integral part of art and film culture. A self-proclaimed thief of commercial, political, and apocalyptic imagery, Conner subverts both the medium’s iconic imagery and its ideology. The first of two programs exhibits the thematic progression of Conner’s relationship to the film medium itself, messages embedded into the American subconscious, life, death, and metaphysical transformation.
Preceded by:
Pat Oleszko Gulliblur’s Travels: A Space Oddity
Oleszko makes a blast from the Pats into a galaxy of curious proportions. In a performantz excerpt assisted by an assordid band of U of M rock ‘n’ roilers, logic is rapidly dis-mythed. Gulliblurr Swiftly takes on epic bewilderment with his inflated sense of self but then, you can’t tie a good man down.
