message: I remember meeting Bruce Conner many years ago when I was in high school. I was in a punk band (back in 1977) and his son was the bass player in the band.  I believed he was living in the Diamond Heights section of San Francisco at the time and he was working on the Mongoloid video with the new-wave band Devo and I got to see the video first hand.  We(the members of the band) had a chance to see Devo at Mabuhay Gardens in 1977 (three years before "Whip It.").  Bruce was a pleasant guy when I first met him

thread_title:  A long time ago 

message: In 1965, plus or minus a year, I saw Bruce Conner
participate in a panel discussion.
The place was the auditorium of the 
University of Chicago Law School. Now, none of the obituaries
have even mentioned that he was ever in Chicago, but The New York
Times did describe his life as "peripatetic" during the
1960s. 
I don't remember what the advertised topic of the discussion was,
or whether it was part of a larger festival of the kind universities
put on to glorify themselves. At any rate, the other panelists I
remember were Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley, psychiatry professor
Bruno Bettelheim and the former U.S. senator from Illinois
Paul Douglas. Conner was silent during the entire time, but midway
through he produced a box, which turned out to be full of marbles,
and emptied it out onto the uncarpeted floor of the stage.
In thinking back on the event, I realize that my reaction to
it -- that here was a psychologically disturbed individual --
had everything to do with context. Although he was apparently 
well-known in art circles by this time, I hadn't heard of him, 
so he must not have been known to the public -- or to a U.C. 
undergraduate -- as was Claes Oldenburg, for example. And he
was the youngest of the panelists, which amplified the
childish aspect of his prank. But if Oldenburg had done something
like that, I _think_ my understanding would have been completely
different.

thread_title:  A really long time ago 

message: It appears that the Bruce Conner page is also the landing page for the Rat Bastard Protective Association. I am interested in the RBPA. The RBPA would be from c.1959 to today, for example: Manuel Neri, Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick, Wallace Berman, Jess, and George Herms. However, little or no material pertains to the RBPA on this page? Does any editor have any thoughts on this? --Ratbastardassn (talk) 20:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
