Christian Marclay's "The Clock"

A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook today. Makes me wish I could go to NY in conjunction with my Chicago trip. I think the discussion of time as a protagonist and the interplay between real time and video time relates, in many ways, to the discussion we were having about David Claerbout's work.




Also, randomly, a faculty member sent out an email about Marclay, letting us know that his piece was installed at the Harn. He provided some links and, boom, there was an article about the artist putting together his newest piece (The Clock). Both are good short and interesting to read.

A short documentary about Marclay (there's a bit about Telephones in there as well):


This confirms for me even more that we need to go to the Harn and see his piece "Telephones." Let's see if we can squeeze it into the schedule before the exhibition is over.
