I would also have mentioned the onomatopoeias that seemed to play a large role in much of Marclay’s work, ie: the collages, the Manga scroll, and the photo slideshow, ‘Zoom Zoom.” Mainly, what I did not feel from your review, but what I personally took away from the exhibition was the sense of the obsession that the artist had with sound. It was an odd sensation to be looking at visual objects all about audible experience. Regarding ”Selection of Recording: Marclay Playing Turn-Tables,” I agree that it was terrible to listen to, but as a concept I think it was important that the room was sparse so that the visitor really had to engage in the sound. It felt especially uncomfortable because of the strength of contrast between the cozy, airy atmosphere and the jarring noise.Jessica Klovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280107397147442575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-71411517069225361872010-09-25T13:50:43.587-07:002010-09-25T13:50:43.587-07:00For your review, the full exhibition title should ...For your review, the full exhibition title should be used to introduce the reader to the show--"Christian Marclay: Festival." Titles and dates for the pieces described would also give your reader a better sense of the work you are referring to. "Chalkboard" (2010), "Prêt-à-Porter" (2010) and "Sixty-Four Bells and a Bow" (2009), were all discussed in the review without titles. <br /><br />While there are some rehearsals and unscheduled performances, it is important to know that performances happen at scheduled times-- they are not a constant happening. I found it surprising that during my first 30 minutes in the exhibition there were no sounds at all. Also, the performances do not solely come from "Chalkboard." Numerous pieces in the show are performed throughout the three months that the exhibition is on view.<br /><br />I think it was good that you described what visitors were adding to the music staff lines, I would be curious as a reader. Adding a few of the musicians' names who have/will be performing during the exhibition may also be beneficial to your readers.a. sodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699705840281172379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-8139795101526822332010-09-25T13:47:34.591-07:002010-09-25T13:47:34.591-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.a. sodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699705840281172379noreply@blogger.com
