The Clock
Price: Free
July 29, 2012 08:00am - 10:00pm
The Clock is a spectacular and hypnotic 24-hour work of video art by renowned artist Christian Marclay. Marclay has brought together thousands of clips from the entire history of cinema, from silent films to the present, each featuring an exact time on a clock, on a watch, or in dialogue. The resulting collage tells the accurate time at any given moment, making it both a work of art and literally a working timepiece: a cinematic memento mori. Marclay also composed the soundscape, driven by a racing and swelling symphony of ringing, ticking, footsteps, laughter, tears, and music. The Clock comes to Lincoln Center after recently being featured at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Hayward Gallery at London’s Southbank Centre. Admission is free. Visitors are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, exhibit runs through July 13–August 1. Tuesdays–Thursdays, 8:00 am–10:00 pm. Runs continuously from Fridays at 8:00 am through Sundays at 10:00 pm. Closed Mondays.

July 29, 2012 10:00am - 06:00pm
This exhibition looks at the transitional period in hand press bookmaking through 14 Bibles printed between 1455 and 1525. As the era progressed, printers and other craftsmen involved in the production of a printed volume began to experiment with the possibilities hand press production afforded to create innovative, elegant books. Focusing on Gothic bindings and the structure of a selection of books drawn from the Rare Bible Collection a MOBIA, conservator Clare Manias explores regional differences in the volumes' styles, production, and form illustrating that printed books have stories to tell and are much more than what's between the covers.
