For the first time, Arthur Jafa’s Love is the Message, The Message is Death (2016) will be shown alongside Mark Leckey’s Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) – widely considered as two of the most important moving-image artworks of the past thirty years. The exhibition is in the Conditions space in the Whitgift Centre, Croydon.
HARDCORE / LOVE will offer visitors a unique chance to experience two landmark artworks which combine video, music and montage. Made over 15 years apart, both works use the emotional and physical experience of music, along with a process of video editing that cuts fragments of images to create artworks that are social, political and personal.
