Ether - Christian Marclay's "Everyday": Christian Marclay + John Butcher + Mark Sanders + Alan Tomlinson

Christian Marclay is one of the world's pre-eminent artists, winning the Golden Lion at the 2011 Venice Biennial for his work "The Clock". In his 30-year career he has also collaborated with musicians including John Zorn, Kronos Quartet and Sonic Youth. At Ether he performs the London premiere of his new work, "Everyday". Short film clips are re-edited and used as a video score as musicians Steve Beresford, John Butcher, Mark Sanders and Alan Tomlinson improvise music that develops alongside the footage.

'I have always enjoyed blurring the boundaries between music and art, sound and image, structure and chaos. The everyday embraces them all.'
