video artist Christian Markle (Christian Marclay) is a list of top ten artists of our time according to Newsweek.com . The famous work" The Hours, "which brought him in June Biennale Golden Lion Contemporary art in Venice, the Museum of Fine Art, Los Angeles (LACMA) have already shown in May. The museum will show again this great 24-hour video installation at the end of July, reports the Los Angeles Times. Picture Show will begin July 28 at 17 pm and last until the same hour the next day. The work will be shown free of charge, and in anticipation of a large number of potential viewers, LACMA specifically stipulate parking space for those wishing to see the product Markleya.

«Watch" by Christian Markleya - video installation, duration per day, where the viewer sees on the screen excerpts from films and television series, which, in fact, appear hours - quite usual for us appliances and equipment. For his video snippets from the Markle mounted "Titanic," "High Noon," "Eraser," with Arnold Schwarzenegger, series "The Simpsons," "Twilight Zone" and dozens of other famous and not so well-known film and television. In the frame wall fall, clocks, tower clocks, and, all of 24 hours on the screen you can see real time, so that need to look over your cell phone or ask a neighbor what time it disappears.

versatility and appeal of "Hours" refers to the fact that the screen flashed a friendly string of characters and plots completely different genres, cultures and eras. Some pieces last only a moment, the other - a few minutes. Crafty mounting frame makes overflow into each other logical and unobtrusive, and conversations the characters, visual motifs and themes merge into one massive canvas. At some points only screen hero throws the clock glance, for example on the road for a date. In other passages, and time clock are in the foreground and become full participants in the action on which depends the fate of a hero, as in the ominous scene remake of the movie "39 Steps" in 1978, where Robert Powell tries to escape and hung on the minute hand Big Ben in central London. Familiar faces of Hollywood stars grow old - or (just the artist is free to turn back time) younger - before our eyes. It was probably for this reason that LACMA Director Michael Govan called the work Markleya "virtual history of cinema ».

LACMA recently acquired the" Clock "for his collection, but an opportunity to assess the entire masterpiece, in addition to a single show in May, did not provide - the video was demonstrated in the halls of the museum during opening hours. Now reflect on the transience of time and how it is embodied in art, it will be day and night for free in the museum auditorium.

In June this year just for work "hours," Christian Markle received the Golden lion and the prestigious title of best artist Venice Biennale. The work is not indifferent to the high jury and, presumably, especially liked one of its members - film director John Waters.

Previous shows "Hour" in London , New York and Los Angeles attracted a huge number of spectators who stand in queues to see the precious video. had time to work in Moscow in February, it was shown in the Center of Contemporary Culture "Garage».
