Burning Bridges Limited Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present

Burning Bridges presents Tyler Hubby’s feature documentary about the late iconoclastic American multi-media artist Tony Conrad, who has influenced artists ranging from the Velvet Underground to the Yes Men. Twenty-two years in the making, the film follows Tony Conrad’s strange and uncompromising fifty year artistic path through experimental film, music, video, activist public television and education and his unlikely resurgence as a noteworthy composer and performer. Conrad’s numerous works, interwoven with intimate footage reveal a remarkable, inspiring and creative life.

"Tony saw the world differently from others - the analytical sparkle of mathematics gave his vision substance…. Ours was a never ending feast of science, music and performing…he IS an ARTist in the truest sense.” - John Cale (Velvet Underground)

“Tony Conrad may be one of the most influential artists of our time as well as the most underground. This film achieves the impossible task of capturing the mercurial, relentless and unlikely creative journey of the artist.” - Tony Oursler (Artist)
