Mark Leckey (born 1964) works in a variety of media, making distinctive and captivating assemblages of popular culture. This eclectic approach lends the work an air of not simply drawing from contemporary culture, but of being mysteriously embedded in it.

Film and Video Umbrella commissioned Leckey in 2003, to make ‘Parade’. This was a single-channel projection work, which furthered the artist’s ongoing investigation of style subcultures and other contemporary icons, focusing on the metropolitan dandy.

Leckey’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; and Santa Monica Museum of Art, California. He has contributed to group exhibitions at Tate Modern, London; PS1, New York; the Barbican, London; and CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco, amongst many others. His work was part of British Art Show 6, the 2005 Istanbul Biennial and the 2006 Tate Triennial. In 2008 he was the recipient of the prestigious Turner Prize. Leckey is represented by Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York and Cabinet, London.
