Lafayette Anticipations présente la première exposition personnelle de Mark Leckey dans une institution parisienne. Rassemblant une vingtaine d'œuvres et de nouvelles productions, l’exposition se déploie autour de l’idée d’extase, comprise comme un état d’émotion extrême, une expérience spirituelle ou corporelle qui transporte hors de soi.

“Extase signifie être déplacé, mot pour mot, c’est être enlevé hors de là où l’on se trouve”, dit Leckey. Les œuvres de l’exposition évoquent “des émotions intenses qui vous déséquilibrent, vous libèrent, vous emportent loin, vers quelque chose qui n’a plus de fondement, plus d’horizon, ni d’axe tridimensionnel.”
Reconnu comme l’un des plus importants artistes britanniques de sa génération, Leckey explore, depuis la fin des années 1990, les rapports entre culture populaire et technologie, ainsi que les thèmes de la jeunesse, les rapports de classe, la mémoire et la nostalgie. Ses œuvres témoignent de sa fascination pour la manière dont la technologie influence nos expériences de la réalité et façonne nos désirs et nos souvenirs. La technologie permet aussi à Leckey d’explorer les dimensions émotionnelles voire surnaturelles d’un objet ou d’une image, nous invitant ainsi à ressentir leur puissance quasi magique.

À travers la vidéo, la musique, la sculpture, l’installation et la performance, Leckey procède par collage et montage d’éléments sonores et visuels trouvés en ligne, extraits d’archives télévisuelles, cinématographiques et personnelles, ou qu’il produit lui-même.

Son travail puise dans la mémoire collective et personnelle, les contre-cultures et l’histoire du Royaume-Uni, ainsi que dans la musique pop et alternative.

Lafayette Anticipations presents Mark Leckey’s first institutional solo exhibition in Paris. Bringing together around twenty existing and new works, the exhibition unfolds around the idea of ecstasy, understood as a state of extreme emotion, a spiritual or physical experience of being taken outside of oneself.

“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.
