Ryoji Ikeda, Christian Marclay

In collaboration between Christian Marclay and the London Sinfonietta, some of the world’s most renowned contemporary musicians have been invited to stage performances, including new compositions and live improvisation sessions inside the White Cube. Each performance over the course of the exhibition will be recorded, pressed and screen-printed live inside the gallery. These performances are from Ryoji Ikeda and Christian Marclay. Ryoji Ikeda was born in 1966 in Gifu, Japan and lives and works in Paris, France and Kyoto, Japan. One of Japan’s leading electronic composers and visual artists, Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both sonic and visual media. He focuses on the essential characteristics of sound and creates visuals using light, elaborately orchestrating sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.
