Christian Marclay is a prominent artist and musician whose work explores the space between visual art and audio cultures, transforming music and sound into visible, physical form through performance, collage, sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear this fascinating artist who, over the last 30 years, has produced a remarkable body of work exploring the gap between what we hear and what we see.
