Christian Marclay: Compositions

Apr 12 – Sept 24, 2019
Plaça dels Àngels, 1, 08001 Barcelona, Spain

“My work as a visual artist deals with sound and music,” the Swiss-American artist, Christian Marclay, said in 2003, “and I’ve always thought of music as something close to performance art.” Seeing and hearing and time and space are at large and at play in the work of Marclay. “Compositions” reveals the ways in which he builds a work out of sounds, images, and collage effects. —L.J.
