You know what ever Marclay was going to embark on after his epic 24-hour clock film, which mesmerised and astounded audiences the world over, was going to be as ambitious as his previous project. Here, the Swiss-American artist will turn the White Cube’s Bermondsey gallery into a symphonic masterpiece, from of all things, if you can believe it, alcohol cans, bottles and glasses discarded around East London. Although drinking might be a favourite pastime among most of us, the clangor of our empties might not sound like music to our ears but in Marclay’s video installation ‘Pub Crawl’ you’ll be immersed into a cacophonous soundscape.
There’ll also be weekend performances between the London Sinfonietta and contemporary composers, creating an additional aural level to the show. And if that weren’t enough, you’ll be able to see first hand the process of producing vinyl records, from pressing to printing the sleeves at The Vinyl Factory Press.
