Also a musician, composer and DJ, in his visual works he sometimes evokes the memory of music, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles\u003c/i\u003e (1989), a pillow crocheted out of Beatles audiotapes. Elsewhere he examines the clichéd images of music-making, for example, those found on LP record covers - charismatic classical music conductors, smiling Easy Listening girls and sultry rock stars. These are then carefully sewn together to form hybrid, often humorous figures (\u003ci\u003eBody Mix\u003c/i\u003e, 1991-93). \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eA respected musician who has collaborated with John Zorn, Elliott Sharp and others, Marclay has presented his unique sound and vision artworks at the Whitney Biennial, New York (1991 and 2002), and at the Venice Biennale (1995 and 1999), among many other key international exhibitions. A major travelling retrospective of the artist originated at the Hammer Museum, UCLA, in 2003 and ended its tour at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, in February 2005. The highlight was his tour de force \u003ci\u003eVideo Quartet\u003c/i\u003e (2003), a four-screen installation combining Hollywood film clips associated with music, edited together with virtuoso precision. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eArt historian and critic Jennifer Gonzalez examines in her Survey Marclay's output primarily as a visual artist, while the Interview with Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon concentrates on his collaborations with musicians and his performance work. Art critic and curator Matthew Higgs looks closely at the structure and content of the immensely complex, highly enjoyable \u003cem\u003eVideo Quartet\u003c/em\u003e. The Artist's Choice is \u003cem\u003eThe Prose of the Trans-Siberian and of Little Jeanne of France\u003c/em\u003e by Swiss poet and novelist Blaise Cendrars. Like the artist, Cendrars worked across various disciplines. The Artist's Writings includes a spliced interview specially created by Marclay for this volume.","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cem\u003eContemporary Artists Series\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art.
