‘Dada DJ’ and friends spin the vinyl Feb. 17

Sometimes referred to as the “Dada DJ,” Christian Marclay has led djTrio, an avant-garde group of musicians, since 1997. The pioneer multimedia artist and “turntablist” will be in town Feb. 17 for a solo lecture, free and open to the public, at 3:30 p.m. in the Newcomb Theater and a live performance with djTrio at 8 p.m. in the Jefferson Theater. Improvisational turntable musicians Marina Rosenfeld and Toshio Kajiwara will join Marclay as the trio. Tickets are $12, adults, and $8 for students.

Through Feb. 29, Marclay’s “Telephones,” a collage of edited film clips of telephone conversations ranging from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Dial M for Murder” to Kevin Smith’s “Clerks,” will be on view at the U.Va. Art Museum.
