OPENS SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8TH. 2008

610 S. MAIN ST. LA. CA. 90014

6 – 11 PM

When Bruce Conner passed away earlier this summer, he left behind an
incredibly diverse legacy of work that included assemblages, films,
ink blot drawings, collages, and photograms. This seminal and oft
overlooked artist has profoundly influenced a new generation of
artists in a myriad of disciplines. FULL OF LIGHT: A Gentle Nod to
Bruce Conner will include a new and exciting collection of works by
emerging and internationally known artists such as Devendra Banhart,
Becca Mann, Ashley Macomber, Cody Hudson and many more. The show runs
from November 8th through the 30th at 610 Main Street in downtown Los
Angeles, occupying a 48,000 sq. foot space that once housed the Red
line’s ticketing office.

Accompanying the show will be several events and performances that
will include live sets by The Growlers, Jonathan Wilson, and members
of The Entrance Band, readings by Joseph Mattson and Peter Relic, and
a film and video program curated by Aran Reo Mann and Jeremy Rendina.
