With sampling, shuffling, and montage taking centre stage, the practice
of Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay (*1955) has been anchored in
the universe of sound since the end of the 1970s. An eminent conceptual
artist and recipient of the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for his
landmark 24-hour video installation 'The Clock' (2010), he is equally
fascinated by all aspects of popular music and avant-garde music,
Hollywood cinema, and experimental film. Drawing on the Fluxus vision of
art and Pop spirit, and heir to John Cage and Andy Warhol, Marclay has
been exploring all the possibilities of the visual arts and the
relationships between visual and sonic phenomena for more than four
decades through collage, assemblage, installation, video, photography,
painting, and printmaking. Accompanies the exhibition 'Christian
Marclay', 16 Nov 2022 - 27 Feb 2023, Centre Pompidou, Paris.
