Mark Leckey
As Above So Below
from 2 April to 20 July
 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. 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.
