The centerpiece of

The centerpiece of #ChristianMarclay’s show at @PaulaCooperGallery is ‘48 War Movies’, concurrently on view at the #VeniceBiennale. Consider it a disturbing complement to ‘The Clock’ (2010), that crowd-pleasing blockbuster that stitched together 24 hours of vintage film footage into an entertaining rumination on time and plotlessness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As the title obviously suggests, Marclay has dived into the archives of dozens of war movies to create one martial extravaganza, playing on an endless loop. ‘It’s truly overwhelming – provocative and distressing – but also hypnotically seductive,’ promises the gallery’s senior director, Steve Henry. ‘The film’s examination of violence and aggression is so poignant in these times – in any time, in fact.’ — In NYC? Catch the must-see show before it closes this Saturday, October 19!
