LACMA, Los Angeles
Returning to Los Angeles for the first time since 2015, Christian Marclay’s The Clock is a 24-hour single-channel montage constructed from thousands of moments of cinema and television history depicting the passage of time, excerpted and edited together to create a functioning timepiece synchronized to local time wherever it is shown. The result marks the exact time for the viewer for 24 consecutive hours, weaving together Marclay’s interests in collage and found visual and aural artifacts with his roots in live performance. Entry to The Clock is first come, first served. A ticket reservation does not grant immediate entry. LACMA members receive priority access. Space is limited and there may be extensive waiting times to enter the exhibition. Visitors may stay as long as they wish in the exhibition (subject to operating hours), but must rejoin the queue to re-enter. Please refrain from talking or using cell phones. The use of recording devices, including mobile phones, is strictly prohibited.
