For Leckey, isn’t reconstruction like forsaking, a kind of memory? - Drenched Co
Comment: "I have always imagined Mark Leckey as that guy in Nick Hornby's 'High Fidelity' who obsesses over his 'mixtapes' and his exquisitely catalogued store of treasured memories. Leckey uses memories as not just things of the past but objects that can be searched for, retrieved, embellished and reconstructed in the present. And through his genius, he has moved a generation of artists with his overplayed modern day 'mixtapes'. His latest at Cabinet uses manipulated and constructed mixes and it is cerebral, immersive, moving and deeply autobiographical. Perhaps I need to make him one in return!" - JayZee.
