Episode 177 Chapter 36, Modern Turntablism. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 36, Modern Turntablism from my book Electronic and Experimental music.

Marked with instructions, "Do not store in a protective package," my copy is a reissue of the disc first released in 1985, done by Japanese label Locus Solus. The naked record will naturally become increasingly damaged from shipping, storing, and playing the record, all becoming part of the work. In essence, the owner is implored to progressively destroy the release, allowing it to become scratched and bruised from accumulating damage that make each copy unique. My copy actually skips a lot. In the passage I am playing I often had to press the needle down a little bit to get through a skip. There is faintly recorded jazz music found on some of the disc, while other parts are pretty much composed only of surface noise. 04:31 49:18 12.

Nú á föstudaginn gefst áhugasömum kostur á að leggja leið sína í Listasafn Íslands og berja augum verk sem telst meðal merkustu listaverka 21. aldarinnar. The Clock (2010) eftir svissnesk-bandaríska listamanninn Christian Marclay hlaut gullna ljónið á Feneyjatvíæringnum árið 2011 og hefur síðan farið sigurför um heiminn. Vídeóverk Marclays er klippt saman úr mörg þúsund myndbrotum, sem hvert og eitt skírskotar til ákveðinnar tímasetningar og sem í réttri tímaröð spannar heilan sólarhring, mínútu fyrir mínútu. Tvær sólarhringssýningar verða á verkinu og sú fyrri hefst á föstudaginn kl 17. Víðsjá leit við í Listasafni Íslands í morgun og tók þar púlsinn á listamanninum. Við kynnum okkur líka nýlega hljómplötu úr smiðju tónlistarparsins Gyðu Valtýsdóttur og Úlfs Hanssonar, Auga, og rifjum upp hugleiðingu Aðalheiðar Halldórsdóttur um takt í tilefni af alþjóðlegum degi dansins.
“Le monde selon l'IA”au Jeu de Paume, Parisdu 11 avril au 21 septembre 2025Entretien avec Antonio Somaini, professeur de théorie du cinéma, des médias et de la culture visuelle à l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle et commissaire général de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 28 avril 2025, durée 16'50,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2025/05/10/3616_le-monde-selon-l-ia_jeu-de-paume/Communiqué de presse Commissaire général : Antonio SomainiCommissaires associés : Ada Ackerman, Alexandre Gefen, Pia ViewingLe Jeu de Paume présente, du 11 avril au 21 septembre 2025, une exposition explorant les liens entre intelligence artificielle et l'art contemporain, qui sera la première au monde de cette ampleur.Développées à vitesse accélérée dans tous les champs de la société, les intelligences artificielles suscitent aujourd'hui étonnement, frayeur, enthousiasme ou scepticisme.Le monde selon l'IA présente une sélection d'oeuvres d'artistes qui, au cours de ces dix dernières années, se sont emparés de ces questions en art, photographie, cinéma, sculpture, littérature… Elle d.voile des oeuvres – en grande parties inédites – d'artistes de la scène française et internationale tels Julian Charrière, Grégory Chatonsky, Agnieszka Kurant, Christian Marclay, Trevor Paglen, Hito Steyerl, Sasha Stiles,…De l' “IA analytique”, sur laquelle se fondent les systèmes de vision artificielle et de reconnaissance faciale, . l' “IA générative”, capable de produire de nouvelles images, sons et textes, l'exposition traite de la manière dont ces technologies bouleversent les processus créatifs, redéfinissent les frontières de l'art, sans oublier d'en interroger les enjeux sociaux, politiques et environnementaux. Des capsules temporelles jalonnent par ailleurs le parcours, sous forme de vitrines suggérant des liens historiques et généalogiques entre ces phénomènes contemporains et différents objets issus du passé. Au-delà de toute fascination technophile ou de rejet technophobe, le Jeu de Paume propose, à travers cette exposition, une réflexion sur la manière dont l'IA transforme notre rapport visuel et sensible au monde, comme nos sociétés.L'intelligence artificielle, notion introduite en 1955, désigne de nos jours l'apprentissage automatique qui transforme tous les domaines de la société, avec des applications remplaçant l'action humaine sur la détection, la prise de décision ou la création de contenus textuels et visuels. Ces avancées soul.vent des enjeux éthiques, économiques, politiques et sociaux, entre autres en matière de vie privée et de discrimination, tout en bouleversant notre rapport aux images et aux textes. Dans le domaine artistique, l'IA redéfinit les processus de création, de production et de réception, mettant en crise les notions de créativité, d'originalité et de droits d'auteur. Les artistes de l'exposition mobilisent ces technologies aussi bien pour interroger leurs conséquences sur l'art et la société que pour expérimenter de nouvelles formes possibles d'expression.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of Platemark, I talk with Judith Solodkin, a renowned master printer and founder of SOLO Impression. Judith shares her extensive experience, from being the first woman to graduate from the Tamarind Master Printer program to her unique work in digital embroidery. She reflects on her collaborations with notable artists like Louise Bourgeois and Sonya Clark, and her teaching role at various art institutions. We talk bout Judith's passion for wearable art, specifically her creation of one-of-a-kind hats. Additionally, we discuss the technical and collaborative aspects of printmaking and embroidery, as well as the importance of documenting and preserving artistic processes and works.

Who smoked more: academics like John Cage, La Monte Young and Vladamir Ussachevsky- or the underground scenesters, like Glenn Branca, Arthur Russel and Laurie Anderson? Why is turntablist Christian Marclay on the cover of "Transfigured New York," but not in the book, even though she interviewed him multiple times? Could AI design be to blame? How did the old guard of "New Music" feel about the commodification of computer-based music production four decades ago? In the 1980s, Brooke Wentz hosted a radio show in the middle of the night that focused on experimental music, which was developing all around her in New York City. Over the course of a decade, many of the artists Brooke played on that show would join her in the studio. Her journalism days are through, (now she works on the business side of the industry) but she has just released a book with selected interviews back in the day called “Transfigured New York: Interviews with Experimental Artists and Musicians," available now from Columbia University Press. This may be a bit of a shock to you, but I'll say it- I'm a big fan of oral history interviews, and I'm a big fan of experimental music. I'm pleased to feature Brooke and her work here today, which includes a couple of clips from her interviews (with Morton Subotnik and John Lurie, respectively). She joins me today from a working holiday somewhere in Mexico. The artwork for this episode is a drawing by my kid Camille, based on a photo from "back when" sent to me by today's guest. Terrific.

durée : 00:37:46 - Affaires culturelles - Musicien, compositeur et plasticien, l'artiste suisse ne cesse d'inventer de nouvelles pratiques, que ce soit avec des platines vinyles, des montages d'extraits de films ou avec Snapchat. Rencontre avec un artiste qui réenchante le monde, à l'occasion de son exposition au Centre Pompidou.
“Je suis un artiste. Je préfère ce terme à celui de compositeur, musicien ou platiniste. Je fais plein de choses, de la vidéo, de la sculpture, de la photographie et ça m'arrive de faire de la musique aussi. Je dirais que mon travail se situe entre la musique et les arts visuels.”Artiste, Christian Marclay compose avec les images, dévoile leur potentiel sonore. Inventeur de nouveaux instruments, comme la “Phonoguitar”, une platine vinyle portée telle une guitare, le créateur américano-suisse fera pendant longtemps du vinyle l'une des matières premières de ses œuvres en en cousant les pochettes dans ses “Body mix” ou en recréant des pièces inédites avec ses “Recycled Records”.Il échantillonne, coupe, monte, des sons ou des mots, mais aussi des vidéos dans lesquelles les portes s'ouvrent, se ferment, ou interrogent notre rapport au temps. Avec “The Clock”, il obtient le Lion d'or du meilleur artiste lors de la 54e Biennale de Venise. Une variété que l'on peut découvrir jusqu'au 27 février au Centre Pompidou à Paris, et une occasion pour nous de rencontrer cet artiste dont l'œuvre s'écoute autant qu'elle se regarde.

“Christian Marclay“au Centre Pompidou, Parisdu 16 novembre 2022 au 27 février 2023Interview de Jean-Pierre Criqui, conservateur, service des collections contemporaines, Musée national d'art moderne, et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 14 novembre 2022, durée 20'19.© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2022/11/18/3349_christian-marclay_centre-pompidou/Communiqué de presseCommissariat : Jean-Pierre Criqui, conservateur, service des collections contemporaines, Musée national d'art moderneCommissaire adjointe : Annalisa Rimmaudo, attachée de conservation service des collections contemporaines, Musée national d'art modernePremière exposition en France du travail de Christian Marclay depuis 2007, cet événement est pensé selon un réseau d'affinités et d'échos déployant la logique de l'artiste, qui mêle détournements et métamorphoses.Né en 1955 à San Rafael (Californie), de nationalités suisse et américaine, Christian Marclay est un artiste multimédia dont l'oeuvre s'ancre dans l'univers du son, qu'il explore dès la fin des années 1970 en collaborant à de nombreux projets musicaux à l'occasion desquels il fit du microsillon vinyle et de la platine tourne-disque ses instruments de prédilection.Christian Marclay, qui compte parmi les tout premiers pionniers du scratching, s'est illustré depuis ses débuts par de nombreux enregistrements avec des musiciens d'horizons divers et par des concerts/performances dans le monde entier.Placée sous le signe du collage et du montage, son oeuvre s'est étendue avec le temps à tous les registres des arts visuels : assemblages d'objets, installations, photographies, estampes, peintures, vidéo, en un ensemble ouvert où s'impose la dimension auditive, qu'elle soit littérale ou silencieusement évoquée.Artiste par excellence de la reproduction et de sa dispersion, Christian Marclay nous confronte, sur un mode ludique, aux paradoxes de la différence et de la répétition. Puisant abondamment dans le répertoire visuel et sonore de la culture dite populaire, il agence un monde où se reconfigurent les motifs du quotidien postmoderne. Son oeuvre, héritière de John Cage et d'Andy Warhol, mais aussi des bandes dessinées et de l'esthétique punk, livre la version la plus aiguë, la plus stimulante, de ce qu'est aujourd'hui l'esprit pop.L'exposition présente, distribuées en archipel, la plupart des grandes installations de l'artiste : Surround Sounds (2014-2015), plongée tourbillonnante au sein des onomatopées des comics et des mangas, Subtitled (2019), qui combine silencieusement un feuilleté de sous-titres en provenance de multiples films, All Together (2018), réalisé à partir de Snapchat et présenté sur des smartphones. Mais aussi ces classiques que sont désormais Guitar Drag (2000), où violence et destruction se teintent d'un commentaire politique, et Video Quartet (2002), hommage, en quatre projections simultanées, à la musique, au cinéma.Par ailleurs, une toute nouvelle installation vidéo, Doors (2022), sera présentée pour la première fois dans le parcours. Photographies de tout format, assemblages de pochettes de disque, instruments de musique modifiés, impressions, collages et peintures assureront le tissu conjonctif de ce dispositif choral, polymorphe et inédit.Catalogue de l'exposition : Christian Marclay, sous la direction de Jean-Pierre Criqui aux Éditions du Centre Pompidou.

In part 2 with ArtNet News critic Ben Davis, we talk about: environmentalism and our approach to the climate, as well his emphasis on finding a good middle ground between overly dire and overly sugar-coated perspectives on the conversation; Christian Marclay's video works “Telephone” – which Apple co-opted, making their own version when Marclay wouldn't sell it to them – and “The Clock,” which Ben considers to be Marclay's response to Apple and its iPhone, and images' ‘place-lessness' (which “The Clock” returns to us); how he frames the immersive art trend as a question of ‘what's at stake here?,' and how there are many trends that he feels needs to be seen from both sides; Alfredo Jaar's immersive video in the most recent Whitney Biennial, prompted by the very short time window artists now have to gain viewers' attention; the case of the lovably ordinary @world_record_egg, an Instagram feed that both parodied and addressed concerns about the effects of social media on our individual psyches as an artistic provocation; and Ben's own tricky relationship with social media (IG).
A one-off experience visits Birmingham's Electric Cinema: The Afterlight, an 82-minute collage assembled from footage in which every person in frame is now dead. Director Charlie Shackleton accompanies the film on its tour, not only to give post-screening Q&A sessions, but also because he is in possession of the only copy of the film in existence - a single 35mm print that gradually degrades with each successive screening, picking up scratches and other wear and tear, and when it's finally too damaged to watch any longer, it's gone for good. It's a compelling idea, invoking questions of film preservation, the ways in which film captures and preserves moments in time, and the peculiar cinematic magic (and particularly magic of celluloid) that brings ghosts to life through illumination. And Shackleton is a charming, intelligent and witty speaker, the best advertisement for his own film, although his style and confidence activate José's cynicism circuits - do we really believe that he hasn't kept a copy of the film for himself? But as for the film? It's an enjoyable experience, the footage assembled into a rough narrative of sorts that takes us through similar actions and settings seen across countless cinematic sources, and both the choices of source material and the editing's sense of rhythm create an appealing mood throughout, but much of the specific choices feel too vaguely motivated. Why has this shot in particular been included? Why the focus on one setting or action instead of some other? These questions are never satisfactorily answered, and the film meanders with too little intention. One point of comparison in particular comes up in our discussion: The Clock, Christian Marclay's 24-hour installation film that we saw large segments of both together and separately when it visited the Tate Modern three years ago. It's similarly constructed of clips from films, its rubric to find shots that show clocks and other timepieces so that the film itself can function as a clock. We think about the difference in how often Shackleton and Marclay take creative liberties with their source material and build something new and expressive with it, and the different ranges of that source material to begin with (one of our biggest criticisms of The Clock being the unimaginative Anglo-American cinephile context from which most, if not all, of its sources came). Criticisms notwithstanding, The Afterlight is an interesting and enjoyable one-off experience that literally - and we do mean literally - has to be seen in person, and if it screens near you it's worth the evening. It won't look as good as it did for us, admittedly, but at least it'll look even worse for the next audience. Recorded on 7th July 2022.

My practice varies from project-to-project, and is sometimes collaboration-based and at other times the result of my personal art making practices in diverse media, including site-specific installations, sculptures, performances, works on paper, films and audio pieces. My work has been exhibited at galleries in New York and elsewhere, including David Zwirner Gallery, Postmasters, Ronald Feldman Gallery, Xavier Hufkens (Brussels), Studio 10, and Pierogi 2000. In 1999 and 2000, a grant from Phillip Morris Foundation in conjunction with the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin allowed me to live and create work in Berlin. I had a major exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum in 2013, as part of its Raw/ Cooked series. It featured multi-media installations in several parts of the museum, and a film program. In addition, I have done many projects abroad, including shows/installations/projects in Germany, Scandinavia and Ramallah. 1990 till 2000, I hosted and co-directed the Four Walls art space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a project space whose function was something between a clubhouse and laboratory. It was a place where exhibitions, panel discussions, performances and projects took place, creating a nexus of cultural exchange for artists. In 1989, I received a National Endowment for the Arts grant which became seed money for the Four Walls project. My intent was to create a condition for the exchange of ideas. From1993 to 2011, I directed, curated and organized The Slide and Film Club. I invited artists—and non-artists— to show Super8 films , 35mm slideshows and videos. A house band played improvised music to programs that lacked soundtracks, should someone request it. The project brought together hundreds of visual artists, writers and musicians such as Brian Dewan, Christian Marclay, Joy Garnett, Jim Torok and Carla Pearlman among others. It fostered the work of many artists, as well as my own Super 8 film work. My studio practice over the past five years has primarily been object based. I have often relied on processes based on coincidence, or cues that I receive from my life in order to generate works which perform a useful function, or at least an approximation of one. For example, “Weathervane” at Pierogi Gallery in 1997, fulfilled its metrological role, as well as a quasi-metaphorical one: it took the form of an abstracted Pinocchio head. “Moo-Moo” (2010), was a giant, sculptural cow head on the roof of the Brooklyn restaurant, Diner. It was a portrait of one of the locally-sourced animals being served. “Billboard” in Hudson, New York played with the nature of what billboards are, using them to present subtly disorienting landscape images in unlikely places. Since March of 2020, the world, and certainly my world, has been circumscribed by COVID, making it more difficult to present art in the usual ways. One piece I did in early 2021 was a guerrilla installation in a local park. In the tangle of branches of bushes and trees near the entrance of Cooper Park, one might find two blue rope-like sculptural forms weaving around the forms of the trees. Those pieces are called “Jay” and “Pea” and, in addition to bringing visual play to the local park, they commemorate my friend, the artist Joyce Pensato, who passed away the year before. It was the park she used to frequent with her dog. Another recent project had a commemorative aspect, this year's “Word of Bird is Cured” shown at Studio 10, Bushwick. My friend, the artist and writer Matt Friedman had passed away after a long illness. My piece covered the windows of the gallery with blue paper, with thousands of silhouettes of birds cut into the paper by hand. The gallery faced west, and as days grew long, projections of the birds flooded the room. In the room I created a series of cellophane bags, based on the forms of boulders. The bags were inflated by fans from below, precariously erect and quick to wither when the fans were turned off.
Lisa Spellman first arrived in New York to study art at SVA, moving into a loft that seemed pre-destined to be a gallery. Kim Gordon was reading about the art happening in New York while she was in LA, but when she got to the East Coast, ended up playing music. A few years later, Spellman founded 303 Gallery and Gordon was writing and playing with iconic band Sonic Youth. The two talk to Marc Spiegler about New York City in the 1980s and 1980s, the art scene and the music scene, the places they all went, and how it all intersected. It's an image of an old New York that still reverberates in the city today.

Concludiamo la nostra retrospettiva su David Moss nel catalogo Intakt con gli altri tre album del batterista/vocalist pubblicati dall'etichetta svizzera. Nell'85 Moss forma la David Moss Dense Band, che - con partecipazioni di una sfilza di personaggi come John Zorn, Fred Frith, Arto Lindsay, Bill Laswell, Bill Frisell, Christian Marclay - diventa una delle cose emblematiche dell'avantgarde newyorkese degli anni ottanta: una incarnazione in quartetto della Dense Band, con Anthony Coleman alle tastiere, si ascolta in Texture Time, registrato nel '93 e pubblicato nel '94 (Intakt 034), che contiene fra l'altro un brano ispirato da italo Calvino, Invisible Cities. Time Stories, registrato nel '97 e pubblicato nel '98 (Intakt 054), consiste in una serie di duo di Moss (voce, batteria, percussioni, elettronica) con Heiner Goebbels (siamo nella fase in cui Moss collabora come vocalist con Goebbels per Surrogate Cities: proprio ascoltandolo cantare in quest'opera, Luciano Berio rimane colpito dal suo talento e lo chiama a partecipare alla sua opera Cronaca del luogo), Catherine Jauniaux, Hans Peter Kuhn, Koichi Makigami, Christian Marclay, Phil Minton e Frank Schulte. Con quattro di loro - Jauniaux, Minton, Makigami e Schulte - nel '97 Moss si esibisce a Zurigo, in un set documentato da Vocal Village Project Live at the Rote Fabrik, pubblicato nel 2001 (Intakt 068).

Our season break hiatus came a little early and has lasted quite a while. But Luke returns with friend and guest Harry in Dionne’s stead, for an anniversary celebration of Mark Cousins’ documentary series on cinema history; The Story of Film. Harry is relatively new to considering the wide world of cinema as art and upon recommendation has been watching Cousins’ documentary series as a “way in” to understanding the history of cinema and important milestones and key figures. Enthusiasm proved infectious and Luke decided to rewatch alongside Harry to discuss viewing choices and insights from the series. Join us for a spirited talk about film through fresh eyes, in a wide-ranging discussion featuring an eclectic assortment of titles. We discuss an Iranian documentary short about a village where those suffering leprosy live, in Forough Farrohkhzad's The House is Black (Khaneh siah ast). The intense emotion laid bare in close-up in Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc. Harry espouses a newfound love for Agnès Varda's work with the discovery of her intimate portrait of Rue Daguerre shop owners in Daguerréotypes. Luke closes out the episode with a couple of recommendations. The rhythms of life, as seen on screen in a 24-hour period assembled from cinema, in Christian Marclay's video art installation piece The Clock. Finally, delving into the nature of self identity in Derek DelGaudio's filmed hybrid magic act meets performance and spoken word stage show; In & Of Itself.

Esther Bourdages is an art critic, radio journalist, independent curator, and musician based in Montréal. She is an improviser of extraordinary sensitivity, bringing a playfulness to her tactile manipulation of vinyl records, sometimes outright mishandling them. This freedom to destroy is indicative of a resistance to structure and formalism, but Esther’s work can’t be easily dismissed as some sort of exercise in catharsis. Instead her approach to live improvisation is raw and expressive, and cultivated over decades of ongoing exploration. Much of her recent studio work is for radiophonic diffusion, often based on field-recordings and with a politicized context. We discuss her unique approach to vinyl, the history of Canadian artist-run centres, and the intersection of art and sound from multiple perspectives.

Composed by Luc Ferrari and Turntables, Electronics, prepared phono cartridges by Otomo Yoshihide. Christian Marclay, from Record Without a Cover (excerpt, 1999). Marked with instructions, "Do not store in a protective package," my copy is a reissue of the disc first released in 1985, done by Japanese label Locus Solus. The naked record will naturally become increasingly damaged from shipping, storing, and playing the record, all becoming part of the work. In essence, the owner is implored to progressively destroy the release, allowing it to become scratched and bruised from accumulating damage that make each copy unique. My copy actually skips a lot. In the passage I am playing I often had to press the needle down a little bit to get through a skip. There is faintly recorded jazz music found on some of the disc, while other parts are pretty much composed only of surface noise. The Archive Mix in which I play two additional tracks at the same time to see what happens. Here are two more tracks of modern experimental turntablism: Tsunoda Tsuguto, “Air Pocket” (1997) from Turntable Solos (1999). Merzbow, “Batztoutai—The Nightengale's Song” (1985) from Turntable Solos (1999). The incidental music heard while I'm speaking is from a damaged and skipping CD that I have of Sun Ra. The track is “Sound Spectra/ Spec Sket” from the album Other Planes of There (1964). For more information about the history of turntablism, read my book: Electronic and Experimental Music (sixth edition), by Thom Holmes (Routledge 2020).

Artist and producer Beatrice Dillon’s new piece for ASSEMBLY, infraordinary, combines installation and performance, in which specially composed sounds are triggered using the system’s Kinect camera, alongside a live controlled sound mix of the street. Inspired by writer Georges Perec’s concept of the ‘infra-ordinary’ - taking account of the micro events of the everyday - the performance attempts to examine and reframe the rhythmic patterns of the street outside. Pedestrians, traffic, roadworks, protest; the corner of Somerset House where Waterloo Bridge meets Embankment is a hive of often unpredictable activity and noise. Acknowledging and working with this to define a compositional framework, Marclay invited a series of guests to collaborate in bringing the outdoors inside for an evolving series of electro-acoustic performances. Beatrice Dillon is an artist and music producer who has produced solo and collaborative releases across Boomkat Editions, Hessle Audio, The Trilogy Tapes, PAN, Timedance and Where To Now? Recent performances include Barbican Centre, Tokyo’s wwwX, MUTEK Montreal, Dekmantel, Documenta Athens, Cairo’s Masåfåt Festival, Norway’s Insomnia and Documenta Athens. With a background in fine art, Beatrice has produced sound and music commissions for Outlands Network, Lisson Gallery, Études Paris, AND Festival, Somerset House and has collaborated with visual artists and choreographers across ICA, TATE, Southbank Centre, York Mediale, Centre d’Art Contemporain Geneva, MACVAL Paris, Nasher Center Dallas and Mona Tasmania amongst others. She was the recipient of Wysing Arts Centre’s artist residency, is a resident at Somerset House Studios and presents a show on NTS Radio. Christian Marclay’s ambitious and accomplished practice explores the juxtaposition between sound, photography, video and sculpture. His installations display provocative musical and visual landscapes and have been included in exhibitions around the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou Paris and Kunsthaus Zurich. More recently, he exhibited The Clock at the Tate Modern (debuted at White Cube in 2010) – an artwork created from thousands of edited fragments, from a vast range of films to create a 24-hour, single-channel video.

For ASSEMBLY, Karen Gwyer approached the street noises as drums. Building over the course of the performance, Karen will use and process the ambient sounds to create a multilayer, polyrhythmic piece created from the more punchy and identifiable sounds as well as distorting the general hum. The mood and intensity will shift as the performance progresses. On top of the rhythmic street sounds, layers of synths will build to create a moving yet sobering composition that draws on Karen’s own emotions around her 12 years as a Londoner, both the pain and relief of leaving, and the conflict of looking at it now from afar. Pedestrians, traffic, roadworks, protest; the corner of Somerset House where Waterloo Bridge meets Embankment is a hive of often unpredictable activity and noise. Acknowledging and working with this to define a compositional framework, Marclay invited a series of guests to collaborate in bringing the outdoors inside for an evolving series of electro-acoustic performances. Karen Gwyer was born in the southern US and raised in the north. Now based in Berlin after more than a decade in London, she shifts between pumping, thickly melodic, just left-of-techno dancefloor vibes and diversionary acidic psychedelia in her expansive, largely analogue live electronic performances. To date, she has released a handful of acclaimed recordings on Don’t Be Afraid, Nous Disques, Opal Tapes and Kaleidoscope, among others. She has produced remixes for labels such as InFiné, Software, and Public Information, and has created a number of commissioned pieces for Berlin’s Pop-Kultur festival and Open Music Archive in London.

Pedestrians, traffic, roadworks, protest; the corner of Somerset House where Waterloo Bridge meets Embankment is a hive of often unpredictable activity and noise. Acknowledging and working with this to define a compositional framework, Marclay invited a series of guests to collaborate in bringing the outdoors inside for an evolving series of electro-acoustic performances. Studios resident Lawrence Lek is an artist, filmmaker and musician whose virtual worlds and animated films create alternate versions of real places. For ASSEMBLY he invited collaborators Seth Scott and Robin Simpson to present a site-specific simulation that acts as an uncanny virtual and sonic double of the performance space. Their performance, Doom, reflects the atmosphere during the Extinction Rebellion protests when Waterloo Bridge – which the Lancaster Rooms overlook – was closed to traffic and filled with warning signs of the coming apocalypse.

La abundancia de publicaciones relacionadas con el arte sonoro en los últimos tiempos -quizá una forma de compensar la ausencia de ellas durante demasiados años del pasado- nos anima a presentar de nuevo un monográfico de Ars Sonora dedicado a libros de reciente aparición. Comenzamos comentando dos exposiciones del MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona) relacionadas con la creación sonora experimental, cuyos respectivos catálogos representan importantes hitos bibliográficos. En primer lugar, la muestra titulada "Christian Marclay. Composiciones" -que se celebró entre abril y septiembre de 2019, y que comisarió Tanya Barson- examinó la obra del autor suizo-estadounidense "a través de su dedicación a la composición, entendida como un ordenamiento de sonidos en el tiempo y el espacio, pero también como composición visual". Por otra parte, la exposición "Takis", dedicada al escultor griego Panagiotis Vassilakis (1925-2019), comisariada por Guy Brett, Michael Wellen y Teresa Grandas, puede visitarse desde el 22 de noviembre de 2019 hasta el 19 de abril de 2020, y también ha propiciado un recomendable catálogo en el que se describen trabajos relacionados con el magnetismo, la luz y la electricidad en el dominio visual, pero también -y muy destacadamente- en el sonoro. A continuación nos centramos en varias publicaciones recientes de la editorial de la Universidad de Duke, cada vez más activa en el ámbito de los estudios sonoros. "Hush. Media and Sonic Self-Control", de Mack Hagood, destaca entre esas novedades procedentes de Duke University Press por su original aproximación a las tecnologías destinadas a crear espacios "protegidos" a través del sonido. No tan interesante resulta "Remapping Sound Studies", editado por Gavin Steingo y Jim Sykes, con aportaciones de Jessica A. Schwartz, Louise Meintjes, Tripta Chandola, Michele Friedner, Jairo Moreno, Ana María Ochoa Gautier, Michael Birenbaum Quintero, Jeff Roy, Shayna Silverstein, Ben Tausig y Hervé Tchumkam; si bien resulta indiscutible el valor de sus exploraciones de músicas procedentes de África, el sudeste asiático, latinoamérica o la Micronesia -entre otras áreas del mundo-, en realidad el mero hecho de que sean investigadores instalados en algunos de los más poderosos centros universitarios del planeta -a menudo radicados en los Estados Unidos- no solamente limita el alcance y el interés de esos estudios, sino que incurre en contradicciones relativas al propósito y la forma de empoderar o dar voz a colectividades tradicionalmente silenciadas o subalternadas. Por su parte, "Sound Objects", editado por James A. Steintrager y Rey Chow -que reúne contribuciones de Jairo Moreno, Georgina Born, Michael Bull, Michel Chion, John Dack, Veit Erlmann, Brian Kane, John Mowitt, Pooja Rangan, Gavin Steingo, Jonathan Sterne y David Toop- aporta nuevas y sugerentes perspectivas acerca de la noción de "objeto sonoro" inicialmente planteada por Pierre Schaeffer. Concluimos nuestro repaso de las últimas ediciones llevadas a cabo por Duke University Press con "Digital Sound Studies", editado por Mary Caton Lingold, Darren Mueller y Whitney Trettien, una aproximación al cruce entre dos campos académicamente emergentes: las humanidades digitales y los estudios sonoros. Nos detenemos, también, en "Metaphonics. The Field Works Listener's Guide", publicado por la editorial independiente Jap Sam Books, que propone un curioso recorrido a través de trabajos recientes vinculados a la fonografía y al paisajismo sonoro. Y no podía faltar, como en casi todos nuestros programas dedicados a lo libresco, la alusión a la deslumbrante labor editorial de Bloomsbury, en este caso a través de un pequeño volumen titulado "Podcasting. The Audio Media Revolution", firmado por Martin Spinelli y Lance Dann. Concluimos el programa con una breve recensión de "El giro notacional", de José Iges y Manuel Olveira, un texto dedicado a la exposición homónima que ambos comisariaron en 2019 para el MUSAC de León (y a la que nosotros dedicamos una edición monográfica de Ars Sonora hace ahora justamente un año). Tanto en aquella muestra como en este libro se contemplan las estrategias relacionadas con sistemas notacionales aplicados desde los años sesenta del pasado siglo por artistas de diversas disciplinas. El libro, que supera en su análisis los contornos de la citada exposición, ha sido editado por Fernando Castro Flórez, director de la Colección Infraleves del CENDEAC (Murcia). Las audiciones que complementan nuestros comentarios incluyen obras de Christian Marclay -la grabación de "Zoom Zoom", una de las performances que desarrolló en el MACBA, en este caso junto a la vocalista Shelley Hirsch-, Michel Chion -"Train De Pianos, Op. 1"-, y diversas muestras de los trabajos presentados en el libro "Metaphonics. The Field Works Listener's Guide". Escuchar audio

* This podcast was recorded on April 3, 2019 at Antiquite Midtown in Sacramento* We’re talking with some of Sacramento’s mightiest movers and shakers this year, people who are bringing changes, making waves and putting California’s capital on the map in bold font. This conversation is with two people who play big roles in shaping Sacramento’s arts scene, supporting and promoting local artists, and getting their efforts talked about in cultural circles around California and nationwide. Liv Moe, founding director of Verge Center for the Arts, and Estella Sanchez, founder and executive director of Sol Collective, do all this by providing vital resources to career and emerging artists, as well as offering arts education opportunities for youth and adults. They’re two major reasons why the Capitol City’s cultural scene is on fire, and why it has such a passionate community rooting it on. Join us as we talk with Moe and Sanchez about the state of the arts in Sacramento, what they’re working on now, and what they want to happen so that the city’s artists get the support they need and the recognition they deserve. PODCAST PLAY BY PLAY * O to 4:35 min - Intro to California Groundbreakers * 4:35 min - Sanchez and Moe introduce themselves, and describe the work of art that inspires them most (from Miguel Bounce Perez and Christian Marclay, respectively) * 8:05 min - From high school counselor and women's rights advocate to leaders in the arts: How each woman started down the path to the positions they hold today * 12:40 min - The specific things that make Sol Collective and Verge unique * 17:30 min - The blood, sweat and tears shed in buying the buildings these organizations are housed in -- and how that effort made both Sanchez and Moe stronger * 26 min - How strongly is Sacramento embracing its arts scene -- and its artists? * 33:20 min - The arts and gentrification: How they go together, for better and for worse * 41:50 min - Approaching art as activism, especially in these politically-charged times * 52 min - How Sacramento museums can better support the local arts scene * 1 hr - How Moe and Sanchez mentor their artists, and have helped them go on to bigger, better opportunities * 1 hr, 6:30 min - As a cultural leader in Sacramento, when do you know how loud to speak out, and how do you know when it's best to step back and stay silent? * 1 hr, 12:50 min - Next steps and future plans for Sol Collective and Verge

Something a little different for us today, as we visit the Tate Modern to view Christian Marclay's 24 hour long video art installation, The Clock. It's a looping supercut of clips from film and television that involve clocks, watches, and people telling each other the time, synchronised to the real world. If you watch it at 8:10pm, it's 8:10pm in the film too. Supported by London's White Cube gallery, some 12,000 clips were assiduously located and assembled over three years by Marclay and his team of six researchers to create The Clock, and since its first exhibition in 2010 it's been popping up every now and again. We jumped at the chance to see it. The Clock's scarcity, ambition, and strength of concept have arguably been partially responsible for its uniformly positive reception since 2010. We, however, find plenty to criticise, including a certain imperial flavour to the overwhelmingly Anglo-American choices of source films, not to mention the whiteness that pervades the entire project and lack of imagination displayed by its reluctance to explore outside the canon. If one of the ideas behind the piece is to draw commonalities between cultures and eras, as Mike suggests, then this is a failure not just to please our sensibilities but to achieve its own purpose. The few non-English language clips that do intermittently show up serve only to highlight their own absence. There's also a discussion to be had about the piece's presentation. On the one hand, with the film housed in a vast, purpose-built room, entirely darkened, with sofas lined up in perfect geometric alignment, it's an unadulterated joy to let the time fly by, even when you know full well that you've been stood up for two hours because no seat is available and the artwork itself has been counting the minutes, mocking you. José decries the dismissive, contemptuous treatment cinema receives in art galleries, on which he has also recently written - https://notesonfilm1.com/2018/12/22/the-museums-disdain-for-cinema/ - but finds The Clock's presentation in this respect faultless. On the other, likely for the sake of a smooth viewing experience, the source clips have all been cropped (and in a few cases, stretched) to fit the same aspect ratio, a decision that we feel shows disrespect for the images and people behind them that far outweighs any benefit it has as to unifying them. There are, though, ways in which Marclay manipulates the source material that we find valuable. Indeed, the entire piece assembles clips from thousands of films, and editing is what it's all about. When The Clock edits clips together along thematic lines, such as when we see people in different films, places, and eras all taking their seats for concerts and plays at the same time, and when it indulges in formal exercises, cutting together car doors slamming or people smoking, it qualitatively changes its source footage into something different, achieving interesting and sometimes simply swoony effects. At other times, a character in one film will pick up the phone and speak to a character in a different film (often in a different era), the piece using humorous juxtaposition to connect them. And the piece constantly edits and mixes its own soundtrack, using the source films as a basis and typically fading between them, again smoothing the viewing experience, and occasionally building a soundtrack that sits behind an entire section of clips, binding them and creating something new, such as the anticipation generated by Run Lola Run's soundtrack as the film chases down noon. It's at these times that Mike is most impressed, seeing a marked difference between when The Clock is a film and when it's a film project, finding that too often is it the latter. But those moments of filmmaking are quite fantastic. The Clock is a singular work and one we'd urge anybody to see given the chance, but with room for significant and fair criticism. Keep an eye out for it. Recorded on 16th January 2019.
Michael Petry, author, artist and Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in London talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about his new book “The Word Is Art” that addresses how contemporary global artists incorporate text and language into their works that speaks to some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. In the digital and online age words have become more important than ever with text becoming information and information striving to become a free form of expression. “The Word Is Art” looks at the work of a diverse range of artists including Annette Messager, Barbara Kruger, Cerith Wyn Evans, Christian Marclay, Christopher Wool, Chun Kwang Young, eL Seed, Fiona Banner, Ghada Amer, Glenn Ligon, Harland Miller, Jenny Holzer, Kay Rosen, Laure Prouvost, Martin Creed, Rachel Whiteread, Raymond Pettibon, Roni Horn, Tania Bruguera, Zhang Huan and many more interpreting how the digital and online age have made words more important than ever. “The Word Is Art” takes us on a fascinating and richly illustrated tour interpreting these trending global art forms. We talked to Michael about his inspiration for creating this book and his spin on our LGBTQ issues. When asked what his personal commitment is to LGBTQ civil rights Petry stated, “I’m one of the ancients who’s been around fighting for LGBTQ rights since the early eighties and I’ve been involved in so many different ways over the years. I consider myself queer because I think that is a broader term that for me represents who I am and what I think and part of that commitment as a queer who is an artist and who also is an author and a curator is to try and bring queer artists to the foreground of the art world. We only have to think back a few years to realize that LGBTQ artists were very marginalized and that’s still the case for many people. In the LGBTQ movement every year I curate a Pride Exhibition in London which I really hope to introduce LGBTQ artists not only to that community but to the straight community and I work within all the structures that are available whether that’s museums or the corporate structure to get that recognition for LGBTQ people because I think what is at issue in the broader political sphere is this notion of fear. Fear of others and of course that fear is not limited to the general public. It’s also in the art world.” Michael Petry has written a number of books, including “Installation Art”, “The Art of Not Making: the new artist/artisan relationship”, “Nature Morte: Contemporary Artists Reinvigorate the Still-Life Tradition” and his most recent work “The Word Is Art” all published by Thames & Hudson. In 2019 he will be speaking and exhibiting his work worldwide.For More Info: michaelpetry.com Hear 450+ LGBT Interviews @OUTTAKE VOICES

Bill Morrison's most recent feature film, 'Dawson City: Frozen Time' (2016) is an astonishing look at the history of early cinema, and of North America in the early 20th century, told almost entirely with footage found buried in the former gold-mining town. But it is the product of a 25-year film career in which Morrison has built a distinctive way of telling stories using archive film, often in states of decay, and contemporary music. This week, Juliet talks to Morrison about his practice, from his time at film school to the present.

Slow Writing: Thom Andersen on Cinema (Visible Press) Slow Writing is a collection of articles by Thom Andersen that reflect on the avant-garde, Hollywood feature films, and contemporary cinema. His critiques of artists and filmmakers as diverse as Yasujirō Ozu, Nicholas Ray, Andy Warhol, and Christian Marclay locate their work within the broader spheres of popular culture, politics, history, architecture, and the urban landscape. The city of Los Angeles and its relationship to film is a recurrent theme. These writings, which span a period of five decades, demonstrate Andersen’s social consciousness, humour and his genuine appreciation of cinema in its many forms. Thom Andersen’s films include the celebrated documentary essays Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975), Red Hollywood (1996), Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003), and The Thoughts That Once We Had (2015). Of the thirty-four texts included in the book, six are hitherto unpublished; others have been revised or appear in different versions to those previously available. Praise for Slow Writing “There are few writers and few filmmakers who make me rethink what cinema is more than Thom Andersen. Sometimes this is a matter of introducing fresh perspectives, such as making cinema and architecture more mutually interactive. It’s always a political matter of figuring out just who and where we are, and why.”----- Jonathan Rosenbaum “In his disarmingly plainspoken introduction, Thom Andersen more or less apologizes for not becoming a film critic, and for not delivering a manifesto. Slow Writing shows us just how terrific a critic he hasn’t (mostly) bothered to be. This book belongs on a very small and special shelf of the most incisive and ungrandiose books by artists.”----- Jonathan Lethem Thom Andersen has lived in Los Angeles for most of his life. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for the city has deeply informed his work, not least his widely praised study of its representation in movies, Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003), which was voted one of the 50 Best Documentaries of All Time in a Sight & Sound critics’ poll. Andersen made his first short films and entered into the city’s film scene as a student of USC and UCLA in the 1960s. His hour-long documentary Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1974) was realised under an AFI scholarship and has lately been restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. His research into the victims of the Hollywood Blacklist, done in collaboration with film theorist Noël Burch, produced the video essay Red Hollywood (1996) and book Les Communistes de Hollywood: Autre chose que des martyrs (1994). Andersen’s recent films include Reconversão (2012) on the work of Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, and The Thoughts That Once We Had (2015), a personal history of cinema loosely inspired by Gilles Deleuze. A published writer since 1966, Andersen has contributed to journals such as Film Comment, Artforum, Sight and Sound and Cinema Scope. He has taught at the California Institute of the Arts since 1987, and was previously on faculty at SUNY Buffalo and Ohio State University. Also a respected film curator, he has acted as programmer for Los Angeles Filmforum and curated thematic retrospectives for the Viennale. Slow Writing: Thom Andersen on Cinema is the first collection of his essays. Tosh Berman is a writer and poet. His two books are Sparks-Tastic (Rare Bird) and a book of poems, The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding (Penny-Ante Editions). He is also the publisher and editor of his press, TamTam Books, which published the works of Boris Vian, Serge Gainsbourg, Guy Debord, Jacques Mesrine, Ron Mael & Russell Mael (Sparks) Gilles Verlant, and Lun*na Menoh.

For this episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Jesse & Matt explore the paranoid dread and narcotic pull of Adam Curtis' most recent documentary of political-noir, HyperNormalisation. In 2 hours and 40 minutes, it charts the globe-hopping travails of terrorists, bankers, politicians and America's digital aristocracy--all of whom use humanity as pawns by promising simple stories to explain complex problems which can't be solved with “perception management” and pastel fairy-tales about “good vs. evil.” Considered by many to be the most talented and remarkable documentarian in Britain, Adam Curtis has weaved suspicion and suspense into a BBC career that stretches from 40 Minutes: Bombay Motel in 1987 (which explores the have and have-nots of the city) to his most recent film HyperNormalisation in 2016 (which explores how an entirely Russian condition has now passed into the wider-world). Curtis' documentary was released less than a month prior to the mind-gagging upset of Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump, and the film increasingly speaks to a disenchanted, rat-fucked future of no-returns. Jesse & Matt will discuss what makes this “dank” film so compelling and deeply-felt, as well as what makes it, almost equally so, such an evasive work of art.

This is a figural process presently best observed in a whole mode of contemporary entertainment literature -- one is tempted to characterize it as "high-tech paranoia" -- in which the circuits and networks of some putative global computer hookup are narratively mobilized by labyrinthine conspiracies of autonomous but deadly interlocking and competing information agencies in a complexity often beyond the capacity of the normal reading mind. Yet conspiracy theory (and its garish narrative manifestations) must be seen as a degraded attempt -- through the figuration of advanced technology -- to think the impossible totality of the contemporary world system. It is in terms of that enormous and threatening, yet only dimly perceivable, other reality of economic and social institutions that, in my opinion, the postmodern sublime can alone be theorized.

In this discussion, artists Christian Marclay and Cornelia Parker RA – with historians Professor Dario Gamboni and Dr Ros Holmes – discuss the impact of the “readymade” and the destructive process in art, as seen in the work of Ai Weiwei. Many of the strategies that Ai Weiwei employs as an artist can be easily aligned within the legacy of iconoclasm and the notion of art under attack. Works such as Dropping a Han-Dynasty Urn (pictured below), Han Dynasty Urn with Coca-Cola Logo and Kippe all possess an action or process by the artist which subverts the original visual representation and meaning of an object.

Christian Wolff is widely acknowledged as one of the most important American composers of the 20th century. He was born in 1934 in Nice, France, and has lived in the U.S. since 1941. He studied piano with Grete Sultan and, briefly, composition with John Cage. His association and friendship with Cage and with Morton Feldman, Earle Brown, and David Tudor helped set the direction of his work, as did later association with Frederic Rzewski and Cornelius Cardew. Since 1952 he has been musically connected to Merce Cunningham and his dance company. In addition to his composing (over 200 works to date) he has been a sometime performer and improviser with, among others, AMM, Larry Polansky, Kui Dong, Keith Rowe, Christian Marclay, Takehisa Kosugi, and Steve Lacy. His music is published by C.F. Peters and much of it as been recorded. Academically trained as a classicist, he taught at Harvard from 1963 to 1970, and at Dartmouth College from 1971 to 1999, in the music and classics departments. He is currently a full-time independent musician.
Brian and Alex survey new music from Belle and Sebastian, plus Ennio Morricone’s score for the 1977 film Il Gatto, Christian Marclay’s take on Louis Armstrong, and more.

In her new book, Thornton, best-selling author of Seven Days in the Art World, uses a structure of richly linked, cinematic scenes that allow us access to understanding a dazzling range of artists—including Cindy Sherman, Gabriel Orozco, Marina Abramović, Ai Weiwei, and Christian Marclay, among many others. In this conversation with the Hammer’s Allison Agsten, Thornton discusses her research—how she rummaged through artists’ bank accounts, bedrooms, and studios and witnessed their crises and triumphs-- as well as the wildly different answers—and non-answers—she received to the question, “What is an artist?”*Click HERE to see photos from the event!
Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, who goes by the stage name Taj Mahal, is an internationally recognized blues musician who folds various forms of world music into his offerings. A self-taught singer-songwriter who plays the guitar, banjo and harmonica (among many other instruments), Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music during his 40+ year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa and the South Pacific. You may recall one of Todd's many epic appearances on television when he performed with Taj Mahal and Michele Gray in 1989 on the show Night Music hosted by David Sanborn? The song was "Never Mind the Why and Wherefore" from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore and they were accompanied by other musicians including Pat Metheny (guitar), Philippe Saisse (keyboards), Christian Marclay (turntables), and host David Sanborn (saxophone). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m33BXNHIHM Todd also joined Taj onstage on the same show for a rendition of Mahal's "She Caught The Katy". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC1a5UAWIus
Intro to the course: philosophical issues of representation, therefore of space and time, thence of will, and therefore of self. Viewing and discussion of Christian Marclay's Telephones (1995) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5HTPjPvyE).

She founded the San Francisco Dancer's Workshop in 1955 as a center for movement training, artistic experimentation, and public participatory events open to the local community.

Printed Matter Live Benefit Auction Event: March 9, 6-8:30 pm Robert Rauschenberg Project Space 455 West 19th St, New York www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter Printed Matter, Inc, the New York-based non-profit organization committed to the dissemination and appreciation of publications made by artists, will host a Benefit Auction and Selling Exhibition at the Rauschenberg Foundation Project Space to help mitigate damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. As a result of the storm, Printed Matter experienced six feet of flooding to its basement storage and lost upwards of 9,000 books, hundreds of artworks and equipment. Printed Matter's Archive, which has been collected since the organization's founding in 1976 and serves as an important record of its history and the field of artists books as a whole, was also severely damaged. Moreover, the damage sustained by Sandy has made it clear that Printed Matter needs to undertake an urgent capacity-building effort to establish a durable foundation for its mission and services into the future. This is the first fundraising initiative of this scale to be undertaken by the organization in many years, and will feature more than 120 works generously donated from artists and supporters of Printed Matter. The Sandy Relief Benefit for Printed Matter will be held at the Rauschenberg Project Space in Chelsea and will run from February 28 through March 9th. The Benefit has two components: a selling exhibition of rare historical publications and other donated works and an Auction of donated artworks. A special preview and reception will be held February 28th, 6-8 pm, to mark the unveiling of all 120 works and to thank the participating artists and donors. The opening will feature a solo performance by cellist Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), followed by a shared DJ set from Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance) & Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio). The event is free and open to the public. All works will then be available for viewing at the Rauschenberg Project Space March 1 – March 9, gallery hours. All Selling Exhibition works may be purchased during this period and Auction works will be available for bidding online. Bids can be made at www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter. A live Benefit Auction Event will take place March 9, 6-8:30 pm with approximately 20 selected works to be auctioned in a live format. Bidding on these works will commence at 7pm sharp, while silent bids can be made on all other Auction works. Note, highest online bids will be transferred to the room. For absentee bidding of works, please contact Keith Gray (Printed Matter) at 212 925 0325 or keith@printedmatter.org. The evening will feature a performance by Alex Waterman on solo cello with electronics. Admission is $150 and tickets may be pre-purchased here. There will be only limited capacity. Highlighted auction works include an oversize ektacolor photograph from Richard Prince, a woven canvas piece from Tauba Auerbach, an acrylic and newsprint work from Rirkrit Tiravanija, a large-scale Canopy painting from Fredrik Værslev, a rare dye transfer print from Zoe Leonard, a light box by Alfredo Jaar, a book painting by Paul Chan, a carbon on paper work from Frances Stark, a seven-panel plexi-work with spraypainted newsprint from Kerstin Brätsch, a C-print from Hans Haacke, a firefly drawing from Philippe Parreno, a mixed-media NASA wall-piece from Tom Sachs, a unique print from Rachel Harrison, a vintage xerox poem from Carl Andre, an encyclopedia set of hand-made books from Josh Smith, a photograph from Klara Liden, a table-top sculpture from Carol Bove, Ed Ruscha’s Rooftops Portfolio, as well as original works on canvas and linen by Cecily Brown, Cheyney Thompson, Dan Colen, Adam McEwen, RH Quaytman, and many others.

In anticipation of the event Printed Matter Executive Director James Jenkin said: “Not only are we hopeful that this event will help us to put Sandy firmly behind us, it is incredibly special for us.

Dave's shocking revelations about his childhood flirtation with showtunes shock Alonso, and they eventually talk about the week's new movies after a long digression involving Christian Marclay's 24-hour film "The Clock."
Alonso would rather watch nine hours of Christian Marclay's conceptual art than 86 minutes of Smurfs, and Dave loves Miranda July and Captain America and doesn't care who knows it.
On this week's show, we enter the space of a meticulous 24-hour-long video documentation of one entire day in Christian Marclay’s new work, The Clock, we consider the expanded day of June 16th, 1904, as Bloomsday and James Joyce's Ulysses are recognized by readers around the world, and we start the show with news of the early release of convicted Bay Area Transit cop Johannes Mehserle, less than one year after his sentencing for the killing of a young, unarmed black man on a train platform in Oakland, 22-year-old Oscar Grant.
