Replay Marclay
Condition: SECONDHAND
This is a secondhand book. The jacket image is indicative only and does not represent the condition of this copy. For information about the condition of this book you can email us.
Christian Marclay is an eminent conceptual artist, fascinated with all aspects of popular music and cinema. A collector of audio recordings and films, his practice is eclectic - spanning collage to performance and 'turntableism' - and his obsession for collecting and re-assembling contemporary artefacts is infectious. If Marclay's craft of re-construction is itself musical (the pauses and absences being as much part of the work as the shots and beats), his re-compositions also follow a rich heritage of montage within cinema and experimental film. The book reunites some of his most important films and projections to date and has been designed by NORM in close collaboration with the artist. Five important essays and an interview by Michael Snow bring new light to his work as a performer, musician, visual artist, and filmmaker. Published in collaboration with the Cite de la Musique and the Australian Centre for Moving Image to accompany the exhibition Replay at Cite de la musique, Paris, 8 March - 24 July 2007.
