Bruce Conner Prints in Berkeley
The punk darkroom prints I made for Bruce Conner have been acquired by the Berkeley Art Museum; all 53 images are from editions I created for him, and the images are now on exhibit at the museum.
Working with Bruce on this project took several months of painstaking perfectionism in 1985 at my Pink & Pearl Gallery and Studio in San Diego, and in 2004 at the Denver Working With Artists and Denver Darkroom facilities.
Needless to say, I am ecstatic to see this happen!

The prints were absolutely beautiful! You are so fortunate to have known him.
Here is the Mutants’ homage to Bruce Conner. It was projected behind them at the Pioneers of Punk show at the Fillmore.

I did not know Bruce Conner, but from what I hear he would have been annoyed at this mis-usage, but it was definitely inspired by his cutting room floor approach to salvaging and re-using film.
