Christian Marclay: Made To Be Destroyed

The Hall Art Foundation is pleased to announce the exhibition, Christian Marclay: Made To Be Destroyed to be presented in Reading, Vermont from 9 May – 29 November 2026. Marclay is a Swiss-American artist whose 40-year career spans video, performance, photography and installation. He is perhaps best known for film collages that transform often overlooked aspects in cinema into fantastic explorations of everyday themes. Made To Be Destroyed (2016) is a compilation of scenes in which both real and fictional artworks are smeared, broken, torn, toppled, burned, or otherwise damaged. Strategically interweaved by Marclay under a cacophony of sounds, the actions are either intrinsic to the process of creation, or haphazard and intentionally violent, or both.
