The Day the Music Died: the exhibition pairing Don McLean with Guantánamo Bay
“Clark’s largest New York solo exhibition to date, The Day the Music Died, starts with an easily relatable work: a tracklist of the songs used to interrogate prisoners detained by the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan. American Pie joins Stayin’ Alive among others, playing in the back of your head while you walk through the International Center for Photography’s gallery space. It provides a contradictory soundtrack to some disturbing and confusing images.”
