Featuring texts by Max Maxwell, this book documents the collaboration between the artist and Snapchat in an innovative project mixing the sounds and images of everyday life found on the multimedia messaging app, aggregating unattributed stories. Using algorithms created by a team of engineers at Snap Inc., Marclay experiments with millions of publicly posted Snapchat videos to create five immersive audiovisual installations, two of which are interactive. The Organ, a five-octave keyboard and its bench, allows the spectators to trigger video segments and their matched sounds onto the wall. Rooted in a sampling aesthetic fundamental to Marclay’s work, these installations respond to the storytelling available on Snapchat and visitors’ sounds and movements in the gallery space.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51057912938769,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057915265297,"sku":"NIN9781942884620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141643104529,"sku":"NLS9781942884620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1942884621.jpg?v=1750901031"},{"product_id":"index-book-christian-marclay-9783907236086","title":"Index","description":"“Maybe it’s because I’m not a very good draftsman, collage feels like a more natural approach to sketching and developing ideas.  I cut and paste and use my photocopier as a quick way to experiment and develop ideas.  My work is all about finding, sampling, appropriating images and sounds, and transforming them.  The found image is usually what triggers a thought process—formulating ideas or simply reaffirming latent thoughts.  It’s a way to instantly mediate an image and get a little distance from it. Accidents are also often revealing.  Like the camera, or any video editing software, the photocopier is just another tool. ” – Christian Marclay Marclay’s compilation of hundreds of high-contrast black-and-white Xeroxes are like scribblings in a notebook, the first stages of experimentation towards more finished works, a glimpse into the artist’s creative process. This book brings together the source material that has informed Marclay’s practice over the past few years.  It was designed in collaboration with Laurent Benner, a graphic designer who has worked with Marclay on various other books and record covers.  Their shared sensibility informs this beautiful new book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51061803745553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061806465297,"sku":"NIN9783907236086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3907236084.jpg?v=1750731178"},{"product_id":"parkett-no-70-christian-marclay-wilhelm-sasnal-gillian-wearing-plus-franz-west-book-christian-marclay-9783907582206","title":"Parkett No. 70 Christian Marclay, Wilhelm Sasnal, Gillian Wearing, Plus Franz West","description":"For 20 years, \u003ci\u003eParkett\u003c\/i\u003e presented unparalleled explorations and discussions of important international contemporary artists by esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in issue No. 70, which features collaborations by Swiss-American visual artist and composer Christian Marclay, Polish painter Wilhelm Sasnal and British video artist and photographer Gillian Wearing. Each of these artists has carved out a unique manner of working with the mediums of sculpture, painting and photography, respectively. As well, each artist extends the use of film and video to reflect political, social or popular culture. Authors include Ingrid Schaffner, Philip Sherburne, and Philippe Vergne on Marclay; Meghan Dailey, Gregor Jansen and Adam Szymczyk on Sasnal; and Gordon Burn and Dan Cameron on Gillian Wearing, with a conversation between Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Wearing. Also in this issue: Greg Hilty on Rebecca Warren, Dominic van den Boogerd on Aernout Mik, Catherine Wood on Mark Leckey, Carolee Thea on Joan Jonas, and an insert by Nic Hess. To celebrate \u003ci\u003eParkett\u003c\/i\u003e's 20th Anniversary, this year's three issues (No. 70, 71, 72) will feature special contributions by both artists and writers on the current state of materiality in contemporary art. Scholarly writers look back to how earlier generations of artists employed materials and how this differs from so many contemporary artists' material engagements today. Collaborating artists of the past two decades contribute anecdotes, drawings and photographs commemorating their experiences with \u003ci\u003eParkett\u003c\/i\u003e. Best of all is the inclusion of an additional fourth collaborating artist who will participate in a discussion about his or her relationship to materiality and will create a new \u003ci\u003eParkett edition\u003c\/i\u003e with Franz West in issue No. 70, Pipilotti Rist No. 71 and Alex Katz in issue No. 72.

He found the quiet—the absence of all the city sounds—both haunting and peaceful. On his daily walks, he began to imagine that there might be music in the landscape. He snapped a photo of an iron gate adorned with decorative white balls as it reminded him of a musical score. He sent it to his friend, the composer Steve Beresford (born 1950), and asked: “How would this sound on the piano?” Beresford responded a few hours later with a recording. Over the course of the spring, he took more photographs which inspired more music. This book collects the dialogue between Marclay and Beresford, which could only take place virtually during lockdown. In his introduction, Marclay writes, \"I realized that all my pictures were of enclosures: gates, fences, windows, closed stores. A view of the world behind barriers.\" The correspondence between image, sound and its notation breaks through those barriers, expanding space in magical ways. Call and Response is a testament to how the world at large can be not only reflected in image but translated into sound.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141914587409,"sku":"NLS9781938221309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781938221309.jpg?v=1757578681"},{"product_id":"fire-water-book-christian-marclay-9782914563734","title":"Fire \u0026 Water","description":"Christian Marclay's Fire \u0026amp; Water was conducted in 2012 in Beppu, Japan-a city known as the 'Nine Hells' for its intense volcanic and seismic activity. Along the length of the pier jutting out into Beppu's harbor, Marclay installed 100 banners to which 100 differently tuned bells were attached. Marclay's project, surveyed in this volume in images and on an audio CD, offers a new perception of the city. Christian Marclay has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions at White Cube, London (2015), Whitney Museum of American Art (2010), Barbican, London (2005), Fredericianum, Kassel (2003), Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis (2004), Tate Modern, London (2004), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2002), and Kunsthaus Zurich, Zurich (1997).

Photography has been an integral element of Marclay’s practice since his earliest years as an artist. With an eye keenly attuned to sound-related visual subject matter, Marclay has a unique relationship to photography: his photographs function both as source material for his works in other media as well as sophisticated, subtle works of art on their own terms. His travels have provided the artist with a rich array of sound-related subject matter: a bin of second-hand record albums in Michigan; a marching band outside a window in London; a painted ear on a brick wall in Montreal; a “Honk If You Love Silence” bumper sticker in Chicago, for example. Things I’ve Heard gathers together 60 of these images, edited and sequenced with a brief interview with the artist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522147934481,"sku":"NLS9781881337355","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781881337355.jpg?v=1778457115"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-christian-marclay.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
