TONY CONRAD
2026-03-30Tony Conrad (1940–2016) was a galvanic figure across multiple strains of the avant-garde. His protean career spanned five decades and resisted authority in all its forms; as Conrad remarked, “the job of an artist is to discover laws to violate that haven’t been made yet.” Best known as a trailblazer in the fields of both drone music and structural film, he also worked in video, performance, painting, installation, public access television, and “paracinema”: experiential works that defied the logic of what the moving image might be.
