ART SEEN: Bruce Conner’s works make Bombhead memorable

Crossroads is big but Bombhead is small.
The sentence may sound like an art koan but it’s not. It’s about two things. One is Crossroads, the name of a video that communicates the incredible destructive power of a nuclear explosion and what it means to live in a nuclear age. The second is Bombhead, the name of the exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery where Crossroads appears. But as an exhibition, Bombhead never really matches the impact of Crossroads.
Crossroads is by Bruce Conner
