Christian Marclay at White Cube
Christian Marclay has been rather busy recently. When he isn’t snapping images of straws and bottle tops found on the street he’s collaborating on albums and interpretive musical performances that explore the relationship between audio and visual. Last week Marclay was at White Cube, where one of his latest works was being beamed onto a large white wall in front of the Bermondsey gallery. While the projectionists were busy setting up, Robert Bound caught up with the artist.

The Almine Rech Gallery gets a new home
We head to Almine Rech’s new outpost in Mayfair, located on Grosvenor Hill. The French art dealer opened the space, which isn’t a million miles away from her pre-existing London gallery, to coincide with Frieze week. Rech has selected Jeff Koons for her inaugural exhibition and on show are a series of works that conceptualise classic western paintings and incorporate the viewer via a big blue “gazing ball”. Rech speaks to Robert Bound.
