Christian Marclay’s cinematic tour de force is back!	View with images

Christian Marclay:
The Clock

Member Previews Nov 7–9
Opens Nov 10

Christian Marclay’s 24-hour cinematic marvel The Clock is a montage featuring thousands of film and television clips depicting clocks and other references to time, each synced perfectly to real time. The work is both a tour-de-force remix of film history and a functioning timepiece.

The Clock speaks to cinema’s powerful ability to reflect real life and also provide an escape from it. Marclay reframes our collective memory of movies as an uncanny confrontation with ourselves.

The exhibition opens November 10. Become a member now to get an exclusive first look during Member Previews and priority access once the exhibition opens to the public.*
