Christian Marclay's ‘Doors’ marks opening of Brooklyn Museum's new video art gallery
Christian Marclay's video collage 'Doors' (2022) has opened at the Brooklyn Museum's newly constructed Moving Image Gallery, co-purchased with the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The 54-minute work, which debuted in London in 2023, splices hundreds of film clips showing characters entering and exiting doorways, building on the visual language of Marclay's acclaimed 24-hour film 'The Clock' (2010). The gallery was built to Marclay's specifications, offering a theatrical, spacious setting for time-based media.
