Christian Marclay's The Clock Leaves LACMA on August 23

Christian Marclay's The Clock is on view at LACMA through August 23, back in Los Angeles for the first time since 2015. The 2010 work is a 24-hour single-channel montage built from thousands of moments in film and television that show the passage of time. It is edited into a functioning timepiece, synchronized to local time wherever it screens.

LACMA acquired the work in 2011 and has shown it periodically since. It is installed in BCAM Level 1 and is included with general admission during regular museum hours. The separately ticketed 24-hour screening on August 22 and 23 also includes general admission to all galleries.

Recording devices, including phones, are strictly prohibited in the gallery, and visitors are asked not to talk or use their phones. Entry is first come, first served, with priority for LACMA members. The museum warns that a ticket reservation does not grant immediate entry and that waits may be extensive.
