Bruce Conner: It’s All True is the first monographic museum exhibition in New York of the artist Bruce Conner, the first large survey of his work in 16 years, and the first comprehensive retrospective. The exhibition brings together over 250 objects in mediums including film and video, painting, assemblage, drawing, prints, photography, photograms, and performance.

Bruce Conner: It’s All True presents a lifetime of work by Conner (1933–2008), one of the foremost American artists of the 20th century, whose transformative work defies straightforward categorization. An early practitioner of found-object assemblage and a pioneer of found-footage film, Conner was a singular member of both the underground film community and the flourishing San Francisco art world, achieving international standing early in his career. His work across a broad range of mediums touches pointedly on various themes of postwar American society, from the excesses of a burgeoning consumer culture to the dread of nuclear apocalypse. Conner’s diverse practice also anticipated the fluidity between mediums that is a hallmark of 21st-century art making. In addition to moving images and assemblages, he produced paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, photographs, installations, and conceptual interventions.

Stuart Pound's films are the subject of a first solo exhibition at Espace Croisé. His recent works are made from DVD images appropriations of well-known Hollywood films found in charity shops in London. The three videos Chase (2012), Shooting and Run Loops (2013), designed from science fiction movies or action movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger turn vertical what was initially horizontal. They compile image strips and intensify their pace by creating a new visual score close to abstraction. The soundtrack is split with the moving image and creates an intense reverb effect.
