Christian Marclay’s The Clock
returns to LACMA And, Christian Marclay’s The Clock returns to LACMA
From Sunday, July 26, through Sunday, August 23, The Clock will be on
view during regular museum hours and is included in general admission.
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.
The
amazing piece of work might be on par with getting into the Criterion
Closet for a cinephile. Having logged in check it out for a few minutes
or as long as it can grab your attention. Christian Marclay’s The Clock
depicts time ( in real time) from clips of cinema and television.
Thousands of clips showcase time accurately as though you were checking
your watch. And, it's not available online.
Now, LACMA is only
staying open 24 hours twice during this run. So, some clips will be
harder to see and apparently it never repeats itself in that 24 hour
cycle which is kind of insane.
All concerts begin at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
