Jay DeFeo: Inventing Objects

Jay DeFeo (1929–1989) and Bruce Conner (1933–2008) had that kind of telephone talk marathon a listener feels present at, despite time and place making such an experience impossible. It endures in its strangeness, having been imitated by a photograph of Conner’s telephone dial, to which Defeo responded by a sending of one of his body photos with the dial stuck on: about which he writes: “I had become the telephone.” But we hear it, savor it, and applaud Bruce Conner for memorializing it five years after her death.
