Defining Moment:

Early 1950s — entropy as devotion; order clarified

Bruce Conner

(

1933–2008

)

broos kon-er

Conner built a world from fragments and film.

His assemblages turn cultural debris into meditation — chaos edited into order.

‍

In his world, destruction becomes prayer.

Structural Focus

Process as Form

The method of making defines the structure. Repetition, accumulation, or procedure becomes the visible logic of the work.

In Bruce Conner’s work, this approach appears where assemblage and film accumulate structure through decay, repetition, and temporal pressure.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Improvisation and lived experience disrupt formal and cultural conventions.

Conceptual Media

Media operates as a system for transmitting ideas rather than images.
