Two of the most original and broad-ranging 20th century American artists – Bruce Conner (1933-2008) and Jess (1923-2004) – are brought together in a presentation of more than 60 artworks to call attention to common, repeating motifs and intentions in the work of these puzzle-making geniuses.

Central to both Conner and Jess – for conceptual — as well as financial — reasons – was the practice of scavenging for the raw materials of art making. By re-claiming objects, images, language, even thrift shop paintings, then re-assessing, re-arranging, re-painting and re-contextualizing them, they alchemically transformed the everyday into talismanic artworks, loaded with potential meaning.
