One of my favorite assemblage artists has died. I bought Bruce Conner’s retrospective 2000 BC: The Bruce Conner Story a few years ago and I’m glad I did. His early work was very influential on me. It consisted of haunting and intriguing assemblages and collages in his early years before he branched out into experimental and often irreverent works that included many short films. Here’s a rundown with some great links that was posted over at BoingBoing.
