Although his oeuvre spans little more than 15 years, British artist Mark Leckey (born in 1964) is already considered a reference for a young generation of artists. After his studies he withdrew from the art world for nearly a decade. In 1999, with the video Fiorucci Made Me [...]

Besides that it is a cool 80’s-throwback track, the video is dominated by the simple style and the absolutely brilliant choreography that is performed by Brainbridge and the second person [...]

TRACES OF MO(VE)MENTS

Sunday, September 21, 2014

“I mean, how you engender line, and the qualities you imbue this engendering moment with, are up to the individual artist. That’s what creates distinct performances.” says acclaimed choreographer William Forsythe.

BEDTIMES

Saturday, May 24, 2014

In a nod to Randall Island’s history, this year’s Frieze New York Projects was built on theme of leisure and play.
