Bruce Conner's Films Find New Life as Gallery Installations
By
Vadim Rizov
Summary
Vadim Rizov's essay examines how Bruce Conner's 16mm experimental films are being reconceived as large-scale gallery installations, exploring what this migration between mediums means for audience engagement and the viewing experience of experimental film. Drawing on conversations with curator Douglas Fogle and Conner's longtime collaborator Michelle Silva, the piece considers the tension between the intimate, time-bound experience of projected film and the spatial, durational experience of gallery installation.
