BRUCE CONNER / RECORDING ANGEL opens this week at the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together seven of Conner’s most iconic films, spanning nearly five decades of the artist’s practice, projected in an alternating sequence on four different screens. The works on view include the groundbreaking A MOVIE (1958), and Conner's now legendary masterpiece CROSSROADS (1976), for which he reedited documentary footage of the Operation Crossroads underwater atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946.

This survey of Conner’s radically innovative, lifelong cinematic output both explores the structural limits of the medium of film, and highlights his poetic and biting cultural critique of the dark side of the American Dream.

Organised by curator Douglas Fogle for the Marciano Art Foundation.
