Centre Pompidou just closed its highly touted exhibition on Gérard Garouste, but visitors to the unorthodox Parisian building can still look forward to a suite of promising shows, such as an exciting solo exhibition by Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay.
The eponymously titled show features the core of Marclay’s oeuvre — a fusion of sound and fine art that echoes the artist’s way of thinking through large-scale installations, sculpture and multi-media works. The collection of work goes back to his early days repurposing recycled vinyl records, to a series of contorted sculptures, such as Prosthesis (2000), and immersive video works made within the last decade — from Surround Sounds (2014-2015) to Subtitled (2019).

Marclay also worked with Snap‘s proprietary Landmarker technology to animate the museum’s iconic exterior. By scanning the QR code, visitors will transform the building’s facade into a musical instrument and experience Playing Pompidou — an interactive audio and visual AR experience that can be enjoyed in front of the institution or anywhere in the world.
Complementing the exhibition is a new monograph on the artist published by JRP Editions and available to purchase for $47 USD. Christian Marclay is on view at Centre Pompidou until February 27.
In case you missed it, there is a new exhibition that explores the evolution of Piet Mondrian.
