Hopefully you’ve had enough art adventures lately to serve as fodder for the many anecdotes you’ll need at this week’s flurry of holiday parties (or apocalypse parties, if that’s you’re thing). We recommend the Lower East Side and Chinatown tonight for emerging art and the season’s most festive auction, Clinton Hill and Bushwick on Thursday for end-of-days activities, and, if we survive all that, the MoMA this weekend for the return of everyone’s favorite art timepiece. Happy exploring!

When it made its New York premiere at Paula Cooper Gallery in the winter of 2011, Christian Marclay’s 24-hour video collage timepiece “The Clock” drew round-the-block lines, even in the middle of the night during its marathon full-cycle screenings.

TIME Magazine has released its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and it includes an artist! But probably not the artist you’d expect. Rather than selecting Ai Weiwei, the Chinese dissident artist who has topped many a power list (and actually made the cut for TIME last year), the mag singled out Christian Marclay, the video artist behind the epic piece “The Clock.” (more…)
The bi-coastal arts organization ForYourArt will launch its new Los Angeles location at 6020 Wilshire Boulevard — directly across the street from LACMA — on Saturday March 24 with a 24-hour pop-up donut shop that will give away sweet pastries from donut shops around the city in time with a free 24-hour screening of Christian Marclay’s video collage “The Clock” taking place at the neighboring museum, ARTINFO has learned.
