Press Release

Christian Marclay has long worked with found materials, recasting and transforming audio and visual media in the tradition of the readymade. His exhibition at White Cube Paris continues this inquiry, bringing together new monotypes and collages that return to the vinyl record – an object that has informed his practice for more than four decades. Working within the square format of the LP cover, Marclay takes the record sleeve – the printed paper or card packaging that houses and protects a record – as both material and image, attending to its surfaces, apertures and traces of use.

Across a series of monotypes, Marclay inks paper sleeves and record covers in 7”, 10” and 12” formats, transferring their surfaces onto paper as unique impressions. Folds, creases and marks of handling are registered in the process, revealing the tactile histories of objects that carry both sound and memory.

The new collage series ‘Oculi’ takes as its starting point vintage record sleeves whose central circular apertures – originally designed to reveal the record label – become framing devices. These openings isolate details from the LP covers beneath, revealing fragments of hands, eyes and mouths. Through acts of selection and concealment, the sleeve is transformed from protective packaging into a compositional tool.

About the Gallery

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
