The Clock by Christian Marclay at Paula Cooper Gallery is honestly one of the most relevant and beautiful pieces of artwork I have ever encountered. It is a 24 hour long movie, made up of thousands of video clips from all different films past & present all referencing time. A man looking at his watch, a woman telling someone the time on the phone, a train announcing its arrival, etc... The craziest part is that the times being referenced in the movie are the EXACT time it is in the real world as you are watching it so you bring in your personal reference to the present. My dear lord, my head explodes, my artist crush on Marclay begins, and my face smiles in wonderment. Thank you Christian Marclay for this treat, thank you.
