Berkeley Art Museum says…

After he broke through as an underground filmmaker in 1958, Bruce Conner kept a close eye on the cultural zeitgeist. He worked on light shows in the mid '60s, and ten years later documented the first wave of San Francisco punk rock. The Berkeley Art Museum focuses on this latter, lesser-known period of Conner's work with a collection of his photographs from legendary punk venue Mabuhay Gardens. Conner was at least 20 years older than most of his subjects there, and his photographs benefit from the gap — Mabuhay Gardens is a fine appreciation of the punk scene's brief era of raw power.
