Christian Marclay: Cyanotypes

Edited by David Louis Norr. Text by Noam Elcott, Margaret A. Miller.
Published by JRP|Ringier

Cyanotypes documents six series of cyanotypes by artist, performer and composer Christian Marclay. In the course of his career Marclay has often repurposed older or defunct audio technologies as works of collage, sculpture, installation, photography, video and performance. Here he reclaims and combines two near-obsolete technologies at once--the audio cassette and the cyanotype. Invented in the 1840s, and commonly known as a “blueprint” because of its distinctive Prussian blue color, the cyanotype is created by a cameraless photographic process in which objects are placed directly onto a photosensitive surface, producing a silhouetted image similar to a photogram. Marclay’s cyanotypes, made in collaboration with Graphicstudio, record the abstract tangles made by cassette tapes unspooled onto the print surface, resulting in images and tones that equally evoke the paintings of Jackson Pollock and the monochromes of Yves Klein.

Christian Marclay: Fourth of July

Text by Jean-Pierre Criqui.
Published by PJC, New York

Christian Marclay has consistently devised ingenious strategies for merging conceptual brilliance with destructive gesture, from "Guitar Drag," his film of a guitar dragged along a dirt road, to his "Record Without a Cover" (issued to be damaged and then played). On 4 July 2005, Marclay photographed a marching band at an Independence Day parade in Hyde Park, New York. He then produced eight photographs as large prints, and proceeded to tear them up into more than 40 pieces. The result is this artist's book, which composes Marclay's chaotic photo-fragments--a foot suspended in midair, cymbals about to crash, a drumstick vibrating, trumpets detached from their players--into a visual and narrative equivalent of a sound-art work. In a further analogy to the artist's process, the publication is printed in French folds that the reader must tear open in order to read the book.

Ensemble

Edited by Christian Marclay. Introduction by Claudia Gould. Sound mix by Aaron Igler.
Published by Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

New York-based Christian Marclay has been a pioneering DJ since the 1970s, when he began to rock turntables and even old gramophones--bending, breaking and mixing records in the creation of a brand new instrument. Since then, in addition to DJing, he has exhibited his sound-based artwork internationally. Ensemble is a group exhibition of sound art at the ICA, which Marclay organized. Likening his approach to that of a composer rather than a curator, Marclay chose sculpture and installations based on their sound quality and sonic compatibility. An ambient sound environment resulted, with iconic works by such artists as Harry Bertoia, Yoko Ono and Michelangelo Pistoletto, mixed in with newer pieces. This publication includes a CD featuring a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of artist/musicians, including Shelly Hirsch, Alison Knowles, Alan Licht, Marina Rosenfeld and Mika Tajima “playing” the show.
