"2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story Part II"

WALKER ART CENTER

Collagist, homegrown Surrealist, Beat, hippie-light-show auteur, experimental filmmaker (even "the inventor of the music video") . . . He's oddly underacknowledged, but Bruce Conner should have been claimed by every generation of the past five decades. One of those rare artists involved in "an exploration of his own identity as a spiritual being on the earth" (says Joan Rothfuss, the 140-piece show's cocurator with Peter Boswell and Bruce Jenkins), Conner is nevertheless not to be missed. Oct. 9, 1999-Jan. 2, 2000; travels to Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Feb. 6-Apr. 23, 2000; M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, May 21-July 30, 2000; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Oct. 1, 2000-Jan. 14, 2001.
