Mark Leckey
Since the late 1990s, when he first presented the seminal work Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999), Mark Leckey’s dynamic and varied output has made a significant impact and continues to be an important influence on the work of a new generation of artists in the UK and internationally. Through his videos, installations and live performances, Leckey explores the relationship of cultural artefacts to human subjectivity and the production of desire. He re-animates the things around us – objects, images, characters and brands – to examine the iconography of popular culture and its affective pull. Leckey’s Turner Prize award in 2008 and subsequent high profile institutional solo exhibitions, including the Serpentine Gallery, London (2011); the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2012); and the major survey currently on view at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels (until January 2015) have confirmed his status amongst the most important artists working today. This special limited edition celebrates Mark Leckey’s significant contribution to Chisenhale Gallery and our wider artistic community.
