“The meaning of ecstasy is to be displaced, literally to be removed from out of the place where you stand” says Leckey. The works in the exhibition evoke “intense emotions, that make you unstable, untethered, that remove you from your normal place of function and towards something groundless, without horizon or a z-axis.”
One of the most important British artists of his generation, since the late 1990s, Leckey has explored the relationship between popular culture and technology, as well as ideas around youth, class, memory, and nostalgia.
His works demonstrate his fascination for the ways in which technological developments influence our experience of reality and shape our desires and memories. Technology also enables Leckey to explore the emotional, sometimes even supernatural, qualities of an object or image, thus inviting us to sense their almost magical power.
Through video, music, sculpture, installation, and performance, Leckey creates collages and edits of audiovisual elements found online, sourced in television, film, and personal archives, or self-produced.
His work draws from personal and collective memory, subcultures and British history, as well as pop and alternative music.
