in situ: Mark Leckey

Mark Leckey (b. 1964) is a British contemporary artist who lives and works in London. Since he came to prominence in the late 1990s, Leckey’s influential practice has addressed the relationship between popular culture and technology as well as exploring the subjects of youth, class and nostalgia. His found object art and video pieces draw on elements of pop culture. In particular, he is known for Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) and UniAddDumThs; (2015-ongoing). He won the 2008 Turner Prize for his exhibition Industrial Light and Magic (2008). Over the past six years Leckey has hosted a program on NTS Radio presenting experimental music by emerging and established artists. His presentation at the Guggenheim Bilbao will draw on the multiplicity of sources that go into his works such as sound, sculpture, and performance.
