Influencing a generation of artists, musicians and theorists, Christian Marclay hasexplored the interplay between sound, audio cultures and art across a diversity of media:performance, sculpture, photography, collage, musical composition, film, video, and installation.Born in 1955, Marclay first became internationally known in the 1980s for sculptures and reassembledreadymades generated from such evocative materials as fragmented vinyl records and album covers. Hisambitious multi-screen installations Video Quartet (2002), Crossfire (2007), and The Clock (2010)inspire viewers to contemplate the complexities of time and narrative and the role of sound inexperience and representation. Marclay has also collaborated musically with Shelley Hirsch, theKronos Quartet, Zeena Parkins, Elliott Sharp, Sonic Youth and John Zorn, among manyothers.
