When his twenty-four-hour film The Clock was awarded the Golden
Lion at the fifty-fourth Venice Biennale in 2011, his hour had
struck. Yet as an artist, performer, and pioneer of turntablism,
the Swiss-American Christian Marclay (*1955) has been famous for
his complex oeuvre for more than thirty years. Since then he has
translated sounds and music into visible forms in his performances,
installations, collages, sculptures, and photographs, revealing
sensory experiences in them that his viewers had never dared to
experience. Comic books and mangas are the source material for
Marclay's most recent works, whose listening experience yet again
opens up new dimensions. The extensive monograph not only does
justice to the entire spectrum of the artist's multimedia and
synaesthetic oeuvre; it also brings previously little known works
home to our eyes and our ears. Exhibition: Aargauer Kunsthaus,
Aarau, 30.8.2015 - 15.11.2015
