Mark Leckey: Affect Bridge Age Regression

Affect Bridge Age Regression, a solo exhibition by Mark Leckey, opens at Cubitt on 22 June. The title refers to a technique used in hypnotherapy to associate recurrent bodily feelings back to its earliest memory. The exhibition will feature an installation and sound work further exploring a motorway bridge from the artist’s childhood memories, a recurring presence in his 2015 video Dream English Kid 1964 – 1999AD.
