CHRISTIAN MARCLAY – PHONES
2017-10-02On view are two sculptures and a video created by the artist in the 1990s, as well as a selection of photographs and works on paper, exploring the recurrence of telephonic technologies as visual and acoustic material in Marclay’s work. The exhibition will be on view through October 7th. There will be an opening reception on September 7th from 6 to 8pm.
For more than three decades, Christian Marclay has explored the connections between the visual and the audible, creating works in which these two distinct sensorial experiences enrich and challenge each other. Working across a diverse range of media including sculpture, video, photography, collage, and performance, Marclay deconstructs the ubiquity of sound to extrapolate its perceptual limits and examine the increasing prevalence of sonic mediation through technology such as digital recording, mass reproduction, and telecommunication. His installations often employ appropriated objects that merge or reconfigure auditory and visual elements to challenge our ontological understanding of them.
Exhibition runs through to October 7th, 2018
