Marclay created this monumental work by unspooling magnetic tape from music cassettes (by the bands and musicians named in the work’s title) and draping them across light-sensitive paper. The dramatic, swirling forms recall Abstract Expressionist paintings of the 1950s, an area of great strength in MoMA’s collection. Printmaking is one of the tools Marclay uses in his ongoing exploration of the intersection between sound, performance, and the visual arts, incorporating unconventional approaches, such as printing from inked vinyl LPs. He is represented in the collection by prints, artist’s books, and multiples, as well as four videos, including his 2010 tour de force The Clock, a real-time 24-hour montage of clips from feature films that picture the passing of time (from ticking wristwatches to buzzing alarm clocks).
