Christian Marclay's 'The Clock' to Screen at LACMA, White Cube Announces
The Facts
On July 13, 2026, White Cube announced that Christian Marclay's 24-hour video installation "The Clock" (2010) will be presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from July 26 to August 23, 2026. This marks the first Los Angeles presentation of the work since 2015. The montage, composed of thousands of film and television clips depicting clocks and time references, is synchronized to local time. LACMA will host two 24-hour screenings: July 25-26 and August 22-23, 2026, each running from 7pm to 7pm.
The Signal
The presentation of "The Clock" at LACMA reaffirms the work's status as a landmark of contemporary video art. For collectors and curators, the opportunity to experience the full 24-hour cycle in a museum setting is rare, as the piece demands significant logistical commitment. The screening underscores LACMA's ongoing engagement with monumental time-based works and provides a unique occasion for audiences to engage with Marclay's meditation on cinematic time and the passage of hours.
