Christian Marclay's Vinyl Explorations at White Cube Paris

Christian Marclay, the polymorphic artist known for his obsession with music's traces, presents an exhibition at White Cube Paris centered on the iconic 33 RPM vinyl record. The show, running from September 8 to October 10, 2026, at 10 avenue Matignon, 75008, explores the interplay between the round record and its square sleeve, emptiness and fullness, relief and flatness. Marclay's work, characterized by appropriation and a sideways glance, transforms the vinyl object into a medium for artistic expression, reflecting on its historical and cultural significance. The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 12:30pm and 1:30pm to 6pm, with free entry. It is located near the Franklin D. Roosevelt metro station (lines 1 and 9). The show promises a sensitive and offbeat production that celebrates the vinyl's enduring appeal, countering its obsolescence. Marclay's practice has long engaged with sound and visual art, and this exhibition continues his exploration of the materiality of music, inviting viewers to reconsider the vinyl as both an object and a canvas. The venue, White Cube, is a prominent international gallery, and this Paris location hosts the exhibition, marking a significant moment for Marclay's work in the French capital.
