Mark Leckey Exorcism of the Bridge @ Eastham Rake

Description

The broadly musical ideas of remixing, sampling and recreating areconstants in Mark Leckeys work. From disembodied reggae soundsystemsinstalled in white-cube galleries to post-Artificial Intelligencecomputer graphics, and spectral light boxes featuring none other than afamiliarly voluptuous and bikini-clad Richard D. James, it was perhapsonly a matter of time before a full-blown collaboration with Warp materialised.Leckeys 2017 exhibition Bridge Age Regression mutated out of thelarge-scale survey of his work shown at New Yorks MoMA PS1, and is arefracted view of his memories and internal mythologizing of a motorwaybridge on the M53 in Birkenhead near his childhood home. Life-sizeportions of overpass, a scale model and sodium-lamp lighting all create ahallucinatory bridge (natch) into Leckeys twisted mind&”The orangesodium lights are called Sox Lamps and they were installed everywhereup until the 1990s, I think. Theyve been phased out now. The Lucozadeglow they give off was always an indicator that you were coming up onmagic mushrooms, psychedelics would amplify that colour saturation, orrather that leaching out of all other colour. I want the lamps to do thesame thing& put you in that altered state.A1. ‘Exorcism of the Bridge@Eastham Rake’ B.2 Mark Leckey ‘Exorcism of the Bridge@Eastham Rake’ (Evian Christ Remix)”
