In the 1970s, when hip-hop was gaining steam in the Bronx, a young artist far away was experimenting with turntablism. His name was Christian Marclay. A mere teenager at the time, living in San Rafael, California, Marclay manipulated gramophone records and turntables, using them as musical instruments and creating intricate sound collages. Though he was never universally credited as turntablism’s inventor, over the years he continued to explore the rituals around making and collecting music. Marclay browsed endless record stores, and he would often damage tracks to create loops and skips. In this multimedia display, Marclay’s sound installations are combined with his photographs, paintings, and films. By the way, it was Marclay who created the 24-hour concept film, The Clock (2010), a collage of small scenes in which clocks, watches, and mentions of time are synced to the 1,440 minutes in a day. —Elena Clavarino
