His show “3 Songs from the Liver” was on view at Gladstone Gallery, NY, Nov 2024 - Feb 2025. “AI outputs are not “images” as we know them. And if we try to understand them in that way, then we're really…. f*cked, you know?” Following this conversation, keep listening for “Enter Through Medieval Wounds” a radio play by Mark Leckey, which first appeared in essay form in Heavy Traffic V (Fall 2024).

It's a place where things can happen visually, musically, sonically, and in dance and with the voice.' – Mark Leckey  In the fifth episode of the Frieze Masters Podcast, artist Mark Leckey, curator Polly Staple and Director of Art Fund Jenny Waldman reflect on the legacy and future of British art and discuss how it might expand its reach to engage young and underrepresented audiences.   Mark Leckey is a Turner Prize-winning artist whose work is infused with popular culture, memory and experience; Polly Staple is Director of Collection, British Art, at Tate; and Jenny Waldman CBE is Director of Art Fund.    Full transcript available at frieze.com About Frieze Masters Podcast  The Frieze Masters Podcast in collaboration with dunhill is back for 2024, bringing you the annual Frieze Masters Talks programme recorded during this year's fair.

A wintry collage from one of 2024's breakout stars. As far as crossover electronic success goes, Barry Can't Swim's 2024 scorecard would take some beating. His singles have racked up hundreds of millions of streams, he bagged a Mercury Prize nomination and has the range to both pack out festivals as a DJ and sell out tours worldwide with a string-accented live show. Barely 12 months on from the release of debut album "When Will We Land?", it's fair to say Josh Mannie is one of the most in-demand artists working in dance and electronic music right now, with a follow-up LP nearly done, he says. For RA.968, he pulls in the complete opposite direction from any of that. Sure, there are nods to Mark Leckey and late-night jazz haunts throughout his catalogue, and the ruminative clouds drifting across his signature golden-hour glow do suggest an artist with a sharp grasp on meteorological melancholy. But a beatless collage featuring Suso Sáiz, Slow Attack Ensemble and Lorenzo Senni? It's a surprise, and a welcome one at that. Speckled with exclusive airings of brand-new ambient material, Barry Can't Swim's RA Podcast charts a path from This Mortal Coil to Ryuichi Sakamoto, with a detour through some Linkwood and Anthony Naples deep cuts we've not heard for a good while. (He even includes a Stars of the Lid favourite which namechecks Fulham's home ground, an act of mid-table grace for the diehard Everton fan). RA.968 has the crackle of a frosty night walk set to tape—a holiday gift from one of the most popular acts in the game. 'Tis the season. @barrycantswim Read more at ra.co/podcast/968

‘Isn't to exhibit to historicize?' – Julian Rose  Artist Nairy Baghramian, Director of the Museum of Modern Art Glenn Lowry and historian Julian Rose all have extensive experience of presenting art in public places and thinking about civic spaces. In the fourth episode of the Frieze Masters Podcast, they come together to rethink the role and design of museums in shaping cultural exchange.   Nairy Baghramian is an artist whose sculptures offer new ways to address the architectural, social and political conditions of contemporary culture; Glenn Lowry is director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York; and Julian Rose is a historian of art and architecture, exploring the design of art museums.    Full transcript available at frieze.com About Frieze Masters Podcast  The Frieze Masters Podcast in collaboration with dunhill is back for 2024, bringing you the annual Frieze Masters Talks programme recorded during this year's fair.

‘The viewer makes the painting alive. Without the viewer, that thing doesn't exist.' – Shirazeh Houshiary  What happens to our understanding of painting when we expand the canon across eras and cultures? In the third episode of the Frieze Masters Podcast, artist Shirazeh Houshiary, Director of the National Gallery Gabriele Finaldi and arts editor Jan Dalley reflect on the celebration and subversion of narrative through painting.  Shirazeh Houshiary is an Iran-born, London-based artist, working in painting and sculpture; Gabriele Finaldi is Director of the National Gallery in London; and Jan Dalley is the former Arts Editor at the Financial Times.  Full transcript available at frieze.com About Frieze Masters Podcast  The Frieze Masters Podcast in collaboration with dunhill is back for 2024, bringing you the annual Frieze Masters Talks programme recorded during this year's fair.

‘You have an idea and it goes off in another direction and you either pull it back or you go on the journey. I knew I wanted to make some portraits, but I also knew I didn't want to. I wanted to create some tension.' – Barbara Walker   In the second episode of the Frieze Masters Podcast, artists Barbara Walker and Ming Smith, and writer and curator Lou Stoppard discuss the evolution of portraiture and ask how it can better reflect and build community. Barbara Walker is a British artist whose work interrogates power, identity and the visibility of Black experience; Ming Smith is an American photographer whose practice explores her immediate cultural community; and Lou Stoppard is a British writer and curator.  About Frieze Masters Podcast  The Frieze Masters Podcast in collaboration with dunhill is back for 2024, bringing you the annual Frieze Masters Talks programme recorded during this year's fair.

I am joined by two UK-based artists Hannah Lees and May Hands. The two have recently undertaken their second collaborative project together, titled ‘Self can shade off into otherness gradually'. The project was held at VOLT gallery, run by Devonshire Collective in Eastbourne.Hannah Lees investigates ideas of cycles, constancy and mortality; the sense that things come to an end and the potential for new beginnings. This constancy, be it in religion, science, history or in organic matter, is visible in her practice through her attempts to make sense of and recognise traces of life. Traditional processes, materials and rituals are often reworked to explore how ideas and beliefs can live, die and be reborn across times and cultures.May Hands explores how our relationship with materiality shapes our understanding of the world. She documents and collects observations of the world around her through traditional craft-based techniques and the collecting and reinterpreting of objects. Reflecting upon seasonal cycles, sensuality and the inherently curated aspect of our everyday consumptions, her work questions how society constructs and articulates value and desire.LinksVolt Gallery: https://www.devonshirecollective.co.uk/about/exhibitions-at-voltDevonshire Collective: https://www.devonshirecollective.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/devonshirecollective/Hannah and May:https://www.instagram.com/hannahjlees/https://www.instagram.com/may_hands/Collective Ending: https://www.collectivending.com/https://www.instagram.com/collectivending/Green screen refrigerator action Mark Leckey: https://markleckey.com/IMGs-2010Primitive Technology - send to May. can she share a video of the person making cordage.

For this show, pull on your wide-leg jeans, pop a dexy and talc the floor, because we're talking Northern Soul. We hear about Mod culture, subcultural theory, Quadraphenia, and clubs like the Twisted Wheel, the Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca. Tim and Jeremy excavate a particular wistful, romantic and nostalgic affect to the mid-60s Soul music that fuelled these all-night dances in the north of England, and consider to what extent the dancers were seeking escapism. We also hear about Rave, Jackie Chan and Paul Mason, so get out on the floor and keep the faith!

Eine aktuelle Ausstellung in der Pinakothek der Moderne in München heißt "Das Krankenhaus. Wie Architektur heilen hilft". In der Tat ist es inzwischen wissenschaftlich bewiesen, dass Patientinnen und Patienten in einer hellen, freundlichen Umgebung mit Ausblicken in die Natur, in Einzelzimmern, die nicht nach Medizin riechen, schneller und nachhaltiger gesundwerden. Das Gesundheitssystem könnte auch in Deutschland viel Geld sparen, wenn man beim Bau von Krankenhäusern gleich einige dieser grundlegenden Erkenntnisse berücksichtigen würde. Eine Recherche von Astrid Mayerle. Mit der guten, alten Videokunst haben die Arbeiten des Multi-Mediakünstlers Julian Rosefeldt nur noch wenig gemeinsam: Welterfolge wie "Manifesto" oder "Euphoria" bieten höchste Filmkunst in jeweils zwei Stunden Länge. Sie funktionieren als Museumsinstallation, aber auch im Kino. Seit über zehn Jahren bildet Rosefeldt den Nachwuchs an der Kunstakademie München aus. Ein Gespräch mit Stefan Mekiska. Der Kunstverein München wurde vor genau 200 Jahren gegründet. Im 19. Jahrhundert wollten die bayerischen Monarchen mit ihm die damals moderne Kunst fördern. Leider blieb diese Nähe zu den Mächtigen auch im Nationalsozialismus erhalten. In einer Archivausstellung zum Jubiläum werden diese schwierigen Zeiten jetzt aufgearbeitet. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg haben im Kunstverein München die internationalen Karrieren von unter anderem Dan Graham, Andrea Fraser, Adrian Piper oder Mark Leckey ihren Ausgang genommen. Eine Zwischenbilanz von Tilman Urbach.

Our new mixtape comes from London experimental musician and producer Kinn, with a mix of sound, youtube rips, film audio, raw sound design and unreleased music from the artist himself, an intimate recollection to take us into the artist's expansive creative universe. Kinn has emerged in recent years with a bleakly psychedelic take on post-rock shifting between traditional band setups and move avante-garde studio works. A rotating cast of collaborators, including Arthur Leadbetter, Maxwell Sterling and Alexander Tucker, bolsters this. Recently they have collaborated with artists Tai Shani and Mark Leckey. Their current offering, ‘Dogtooth', coming out on 7th July 2023, carries off down this path with spoken word, string shards and clouds of distortion, giving away to more traditional song form. The production was all rendered over a 2-year period in precise, spacious, sonic detail, bringing to mind a mood somewhere between Mogwai and The Haxan Cloak or The Body. The album puts a profound and disenchanted humanistic stance at the centre of the stage. As we read, Dogtooth reflects on an array of individual, global and digital, often seemingly esoteric, shared experiences. Anger, conflict, beauty and grandeur, all summarised as part and parcel of wheezing and spluttering modern metropolitan world, looking to peel away the negative smog of contemporary living, the interfering noise which bombards our ever more digital lives, searching for meaning, comfort and ways of goofing off amidst these oppressive forces, sirens and snake oil salesmen everywhere, an all-encompassing true and truly messy beauty. The mix Kinn has prepared for us is built around some of his compositional approaches to long-form and non-linear narrative, spending a lot of time playing around with the arrangement and dynamics of the mix, how one thing can suggest, merge and form a narrative-only by preceding another track completely disassociated from each other in time, aesthetic, even meaning, or how a motif placed at the end can bend time and pull you back to something you heard at the beginning. This never ceases to interest me, how loose "reality" can be, how easily we can be suggested. It can easily be smashed apart and put back together in a different way, a wrangling of ambiguity. As I started to work on this mix, to me, a clear narrative unfurled, I'm keeping this ambiguous from the listeners so that they can invest their imagination in it, that's one of the beautiful things about music. It is meaningless without you to listen to it." Tracklist: Barry Adamson + Pan Sonic + The Hafler Trio - The Hymn Of The 7th Illusion (edit) K.C.

Ben Luke talks to Pierre Huyghe about his influences—including writers, musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Huyghe was born in 1962 in Paris and today lives and works between Santiago in Chile and New York. He has experimented over more than 30 years with the form of exhibitions and the very nature of art. His works are complex systems involving a host of elements, from lifeforms including plants, animals and microorganisms, to inanimate objects and technologies. He pays particular attention to the spaces in which these disparate factors come together and bleed into each other, leading to constantly evolving, strange and often spellbinding experiences. He discusses his early interest in the “multiplicity of things” in Yves Tanguy and Hieronymus Bosch; his admiration for artists today, including Daniel Buren and three previous guests on A brush with…, Mark Leckey, Philippe Parreno and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster; his response to the musical works of John Cage; and his 1990s projects exploring the cinema of Pasolini and Hitchcock, among others. Plus, he gives insights into his daily studio life and answers the ultimate question: what is art for?Pierre Huyghe's permanent work Variants is at Kistefos, Jevnaker, Norway.

Sara Cosulich"Pinacoteca Agnelli"https://www.pinacoteca-agnelli.it/la-pinacoteca/missione/Il nuovo corso della Pinacoteca Agnelli di Torino sta dando i suoi frutti La nuova direttrice Sarah Cosulich insieme a tutto il suo staff al femminile, ci racconta il suo progetto “per dare forma a questa nuova strada per l'arte e con l'arte, con tre progetti espositivi che esprimono un nuovo approccio alla produzione delle mostre, tutte prodotte internamente, una nuova visione della preziosa collezione permanente, da riattivare, ma anche da ripensare e mediare al pubblico”. Il tutto con una fruizione più aperta, che ingloba anche la storica pista di collaudo del Lingotto del vecchio stabilimento della Fiat e si dota di nuovi servizi come la caffetteria.Beyond The Collection, un inedito progetto espositivo continuativo dedicato alla rilettura e riattivazione della collezione permanente: l'istituzione parte ogni volta da un'opera diversa dello Scrigno per stabilire relazioni in grado di riflettere sulle presenze così come sulle assenze della collezione. In questo caso, a partire da un'opera di Picasso in collezione, il dialogo è tra 3 ritratti del pittore catalano degli anni Trenta raffiguranti Dora Maar, provenienti dalla Fondation Beyeler, e una serie di fotografie di Dora Maar stessa, artista fotografa, poeta e pittrice francese di origine croata, riconosciuta per i suoi collage surrealisti.Poi si passa parte dell'artista svizzera Sylvie Fleury, fatta di tante ambientazioni diverse, dove c'è anche la riproduzione di una grotta che Fleury concepisce come uno spazio di trasformazione del sé. “Gli immaginari pop, ironici e seducenti di Sylvie Fleury sottolineano l'importanza di guardare a figure femminili rilevanti per la storia dell'arte”, continua Cosulich: “pioniera ma figura influente sulla scena contemporanea il progetto dedicato all'artista e prodotto dalla Pinacoteca Agnelli è la sua più importante mostra in Italia”.Infine la Pista 500 sul tetto del Lingotto, spazio recentemente riconvertito in giardino pensile dall'architetto paesaggista Benedetto Camerana, e ora museo en plein air e in progress. Questa prima edizione di arte sul tetto apre al pubblico con opere di sette artisti internazionali: Valie Export, Sylvie Fleury presente anche qui con una scritta al neon, Shilpa Gupta, Louise Lawler, Mark Leckey e Cally Spooner con una poetica installazione sonora che diffonde una suite di Bach per violoncello nell'immenso spazio della Rampa Sud, facendone da cassa di risonanza. L'opera di Nina Beier inaugura, invece, tra un mese com'è nello stile della Pista, in continuo aggiornamento.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Mark Leckey tells Ben Luke about the influences—from art to literature, film and music—and cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Leckey's enormously varied and experimental work sits on the cusp of digital and analogue worlds. Using video, sound, performance and installation, he explores the meanings and effects of images, consumer products, media and technologies, alongside themes including class and capitalism, interwoven with personal and collective histories. Deeply subjective and emotional, yet seeking universal truths, Leckey's practice has made him one of the most influential artists working today. He discusses his preoccupation with pre-Renaissance icons, his early interest in Mexican Muralism, the influence of Lutz Bacher and Mike Kelley, his fascination with a range of musical artists, and his use of YouTube, TikTok and other platforms in making his work. Plus, he answers our questions about daily rituals, the one work of art he would choose to live with, and the ultimate question: what is art for?Mark Leckey, Cabinet, London, until 30 April. You can find his latest works, as well as previous pieces like Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore and Dream English Kid on Mark's YouTube channel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pablo Bronstein talks to Ben Luke about the art, literature, music, film and much more that have influenced him and inspire him today, and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Bronstein was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1977, but came to the UK as a child and grew up in suburban London. He makes beautifully executed drawings, performances and video works. They reflect on the architecture, design and cultural traditions of mostly pre-20th-century eras and what they tell us about the role of aesthetic taste both when they were made and as we see them today. Pablo's work is often funny, though with a sardonic edge, but its impact is heightened by the fact that it is also deeply learned—his knowledge of the intricacies, pretensions, quirks and excesses of art, design and architectural history are crucial to the effectiveness and precision of his work. He discusses his early fascination with drawing buildings, his love of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, his admiration of Mark Leckey, the power of Emile Zola's The Beast in Man and JG Ballard's Crash and much more. He answers our usual questions about his working life in the studio and has perhaps the most unexpected response to our final question—What is art for?—to date.

When Gaylene Gould was younger she would find herself speechless and breathless in the presence of great sculpture and fine painting. Now, after 25 years of professional arts curating, she has seen it all and finds herself largely unmoved. Gaylene wants to recover the spark which left her rooted to the spot in a gallery, unable to move or speak. It’s a feeling she thinks of as “transcendence”, and she wants to experience it again. At the extreme end of this spectrum is Stendhal syndrome, or Florence syndrome, which occurs when individuals are exposed to objects or phenomena of great beauty and experience symptoms including rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations. She tests her capacity for interoception, the sensing of your internal bodily changes, with the help of the neuroscientist Sarah Garfinkel, and meets the Turner Prize-winning visual artist Mark Leckey, whose works are concerned with art’s magic and ritual qualities. Art historian Chloe Ward recalls the rise of activist art in the 1840s, when painters actively sought to provoke emotions with images of social deprivation to compel people into taking action. Zoe Whitley, director of the Chisenhale Gallery, encourages a wider view of the cultural experience outside of institutions. Can Gaylene reawaken her sensitivity to art?

Drawing inspiration from a story during a journey to the abandoned Arctic settlement of Pyramiden, Ubi Sunt is the culmination of years of collected sonic moments. It was said that from this archipelago in the far north, left behind by all of its 1000 inhabitants for over a decade, ‘ghost’ radio signals had suddenly been detected. A singer whose family were from the original town had been sent an anonymous cassette tape, with recordings of them picked up from the region. Ubi Sunt is a new audio work by Flora Yin-Wong, commissioned by Somerset House Studios, composed of a tetralogy of sound pieces that abruptly jump between, cut up and stitch over six years of recordings captured in known and unknown locations - unlabelled and often lost sources. The connection between memory, emotion, and recorded moments that have accumulated on an iPhone is something that everyone could have their own version of. Hundreds of these snippets represent connections between the recall of memories, alternate worlds and spaces intangible, yet can be connected to across physical spaces. In collaboration with artist Go Watanabe, the series will be accompanied by artwork that adopts the underlying themes via the camera work of the film. The scene slowly moves horizontally from left to right, which reminds of the viewer the movement of playing cassette tapes, or driving a car through a road. Household objects are placed as if they are constructing a town. The objects were developed submerged in natural light from a window, but for this piece, the shade remains on the surfaces in a new space of absolute darkness. The remaining shadows are the metaphor of memories that carried from the past, said to emerge as ghosts. Varying from the sound of deep crunching snow in a forest in Hokkaido, Turkish EDM on the car radio, the rush of a reservoir in rural Wales, Buddhist monks chanting in Hangzhou, K-Pop in a teen clothing store in Seoul, and old vocal recordings - fragments that shift from the highly personal, nostalgic, to the extremely banal, or contrived and obnoxious are momentarily placed together. Flora Yin-Wong is a London-born, Chinese-Malaysian artist working with field recordings, dissonance, and influences from contemporary club culture.
