More info on the Sounds of Christmas exhibit here:
'The Sounds of Christmas is an annual project by Christian Marclay, pioneer of the experimental turntable movement and leading artist operating at the intersections of art and music. Reinventing this work-in-progress for London, Marclay will present his collection of over 1,200 Christmas records as a publicly accessible archive, alongside projections of the record covers and footage of previous performances. On Friday and Saturday evenings, noted turntablists and DJs will create live remixes of their own selection from Marclay's Christmas records. These recorded performances will create a soundtrack for the space. Combining blatant sentimentality with vanguard experimentation, Marclay suggests that the categories distinguishing 'serious' music from its opposite are both arbitrary and arcane.'
