Back

My last view of the world consisted of landscapes and open spaces...merely a vacation. Back to the nitty gritty. Back to mental smog and poetic traffic. At least I can find a decent tune to get me through it. Hope you enjoy my mood swing! Music is by Neutral Milk Hotel, King of Carrot Flowers part 1 Radiohead, Rabbit in Your Headlights (3D Reverse Light) White Stripes, There's No Home For You Here This film is dedicated to Bruce Connor. His gauzy assemblages of scraps salvaged from abandoned buildings, nylon stockings, doll parts, and other found materials gained him art-world attention, as did A Movie (1958), an avant-garde film that juxtaposed footage from B movies, newsreels, soft-core pornography, and other fragments, all set to a musical score. (In 1991, A Movie was selected for preservation by the United States National Film Registry at the Library of Congress.) Conner was active in the Bay Area's 1960s counterculture scene, designing light shows for Family Dog performances at the Avalon Ballroom, and in the '70s focused on drawing and photography. Art-world recognition resumed in the '80s and continued to the present: Conner was included in the 1997 Whitney Biennial, was the subject of a touring survey in 1999--2000, and is featured in the current Carnegie International. Connor, one of main influences, recently passed away from natural causes.
