Mark Leckey Exorcism of the Bridge @ Eastham Rake

The broadly musical ideas of remixing, sampling and recreating are
constants in Mark Leckeys work. From disembodied reggae soundsystems
installed in white-cube galleries to post-Artificial Intelligence
computer graphics, and spectral light boxes featuring none other than a
familiarly voluptuous and bikini-clad Richard D. James, it was perhaps
only a matter of time before a full-blown collaboration with Warp materialised.
Leckeys 2017 exhibition Bridge Age Regression mutated out of the
large-scale survey of his work shown at New Yorks MoMA PS1, and is a
refracted view of his memories and internal mythologizing of a motorway
bridge on the M53 in Birkenhead near his childhood home. Life-size
portions of overpass, a scale model and sodium-lamp lighting all create a
hallucinatory bridge (natch) into Leckeys twisted mind&"The orange
sodium lights are called Sox Lamps and they were installed everywhere
up until the 1990s, I think. Theyve been phased out now. The Lucozade
glow they give off was always an indicator that you were coming up on
magic mushrooms, psychedelics would amplify that colour saturation, or
rather that leaching out of all other colour. I want the lamps to do the
same thing& put you in that altered state.
