Christian Marclay’s ’48 War Movies’

48 War Movies (2019) is a single-channel video that collapses conflicts from the Civil War to Iraq into a horrifying aggregate spectacle of war. Dramatizations are collaged into almost indistinguishable narratives and presented through concentric rectangles, like a flickering conveyor belt of popular cultural content. The forty-eight war films play simultaneously and continuously, and the accompanying soundtrack generates an indecipherable cacophony of wartime sounds. (Paula Cooper Gallery, NYC)

Here’s a detail shot of one of my wife’s paintings that shows a passage I hadn’t noticed during the opening of her show at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts (when the gallery was crowded). Enjoy!
