Mark Leckey Studio Visits 10/11/2011

Mark Leckey will be speaking at the Hammer Oct 6th, and has agreed to come to Warner for studio visits.

Desire and transformation are recurrent themes in British artistMark Leckey's work. In his performances, sculptures, films, collages, and sound pieces, he investigates these ideas by mining his personal history and character--as a man who grew up in a working class family in the north of England in the eighties, a self-described ‘autodidact,’ a participant in contemporary culture, and an artist in London. In his work he celebrates the “tawdry but somehow romantic elegance of certain aspects of British culture” as well as the imagination of the individual, and our potential to inhabit, reclaim or animate an idea, a space, or an object. For his residency, Mark Leckey is continuing his research and explorations into green screen technology, 3D cinema, CGI, and other cinematic effects. He will be working towards new video and performance projects.

“Jennifer Pastor's sculpture inspires a giddy silence, the same gravid hush that occurs when we first catch sight of something truly strange. In nature and in life, such spectacles come ready-made: solar eclipses, concept cars, pedestrians struck by speeding cabs. In art, the strange and the new and our need for them have long been examined and formulaically deployed. But Pastor sidesteps the institutionalized strangeness of art for the strange institution of artifice: her work takes as its subject the realm of the reverently unreal, where nature's serendipity is frozen and a novelty is achieved that is fundamentally different from the usual artworld kind.�? From Jennifer Pastor- Woman Sculptor by David A. Greene (Art Forum; September, 1996).

Jennifer Pastor’s exhibitions include venues such as Regen Projects, Los Angeles, CA; Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; and CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco, CA.
