Art Cast
Series 6 Episode 1: Mark Leckey

Art Cast is a podcast series of informal discussions with professional artists and designers, presented by Matt Gee, Deputy Head of Art, joined by students from Morley College London – Chelsea Centre.

We are joined by Mark Leckey. We are also joined by student guests from our Fine Art Degree, Daniel Gismera, who is currently in his first year, and Imane Bouziane, who is in her second year with us.

Mark visited the studios ahead of this recording to spend time with the students and gave a Penny Lecture to students from across the college, on his work.

Mark Leckey is a British contemporary artist whose work spans video, sound, performance and installation. His practice often draws on found imagery, pop culture and personal memory, exploring themes of nostalgia, desire, anxiety and the emotional charge carried by images, music and objects. Leckey has described his approach as allowing culture to move through him, sitting at a point where art and life blur into one another.
