Christian Marclay pioneered the turntable as a musical instrument in the late '70s, scratching out experimental sounds with vinyl found in used record shops. He's collaborated with Sonic Youth, John Zorn, and Elliott Sharp and expanded his samplings to include multimedia and visual art. In his current show, he explores the space between sound and vision, turning the material trappings of music-making into art. Two album covers, placed side-by-side, become canvases for nearly identical jazz-inspired acrylics. Duplicate cyanotype images of a cassette with its tape ripped out sit next to one another, creating a tangled Rorschach. With each of these elements, Marclay orchestrates a chamber of visual echoes that resonate in stereo.
