Mark Leckey is a major British artist on the contemporary scene, known for his innovative work at the intersection of video, sound and popular culture or even punk subculture.

Winner of the prestigious Turner Prize in 2008, he explores themes linked to memory, technology and the impact of cultural objects on our identities. Among his landmark works, Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) stands out as a cult piece, documenting British subcultures through a hypnotic collage of archive images. Dream English Kid 1964-1999 AD (2015) revisits his personal history through fragments of media, and Exorcism of the Bridge@Eastham Rake (2015) questions the mystical power of modern infrastructures.

His work has been the subject of numerous other solo exhibitions, including Espace Louis Vuitton, Tokyo (2024); Sant'Andrea de Scaphis, Rome (2022); Tate Britain, London (2019-2020); Glasgow International, Glasgow (2018); Cubitt, London (2017); SMK, Copenhagen (2017); MoMA PS1, New York (2016-2017); Galerie Buchholz, Berlin (2016); Cabinet, London (2015); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2015); Kunsthalle Basel, Basel (2015); WIELS, Brussels (2014); Hayward Gallery Touring (The Bluecoat, Liverpool; Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham; De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea) (2013); The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2013); The Banff Center, Banff (2012) ; Serpentine Gallery, London (2011); Gavin Brown's enterprise, New York (2010); Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2009); Le Consortium, Dijon (2008); Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich (2003).
