With the new Bing Concert
Hall opening on the Stanford campus in a couple of months, Connie Wolf, the new director of Stanford's Cantor Arts
Center, thought it would be cool to present a music - filled work of art: Christian Marclay's «Video Quartet,» a four - screen work that splices and juxtaposes sonic moments of all
kinds from hundreds of movies - people tap dancing and singing arias, explosions and door knocks, Kirk Douglas in «Young Man With a Horn» and Jimi Hendrix in concert - in a 14 - minute video that floored New York Times critic Roberta Smith when she saw it in 2003.
