>> Further Interview / press visits
With «Bruce Conner. Light out of Darkness», we present the experimental filmic work of an outstanding artist of the 20th century, whose critical attitude towards the art world is as legendary as his reputation as the father of the video clip. Bruce Conner's (1933-2008) work is radical and multifaceted, of ravishing beauty and terrifying gloom, political, subversive and of an immediate sensual power that gets under your skin. The exhibition will be on display from 5 May to 28 November at Museum Tinguely and features a representative selection of nine films, including the work CROSSROADS (1976), which assembles footage of the first US underwater atomic bomb test in 1946 at Bikini Atoll into a 36-minute study of the horror and sublimity of this apocalyptic event.
You can find more details about the exhibition on our digital press area

On request, we are more than happy to assist you with the organisation of any guided tour or interview with the curators of our temporary shows.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you in Basel.
Yours sincerely,
Isabelle Beilfuss
Head of communication, Museum Tinguely
