Synopsis CHRISTIAN MARCLAY
Christian Marclay works across numerous visual media sculpture, installation, performance, found object, and collage alongside music and its artefacts, to create a unique, multidisciplinary art. Also a musician, composer and DJ, in his visual works he sometimes evokes the memory of music, such as The Beatles, a pillow crocheted out of Beatles audiotapes. Elsewhere Marclay examines the clichéd images of music-making, for example those found on LP record covers: charismatic, classical music conductors; anonymous, smiling Easy Listening girls; sultry rock stars. A major travelling retrospective of the artist originated at the Hammer Museum, UCLA and travels to the Barbican Art Gallery, London, in February 2005. The highlight of this exhibition is Marclay's tour de force Video Quartet, a four-screen installation combining Hollywood film clips associated with music, edited together with virtuoso precision.
