Until 3 May 2026, Julia Stoschek Foundation in Berlin presents one of the most extensive solo exhibitions to date by British artist Mark Leckey. Spanning three floors, the exhibition features more than 50 works – from early key pieces from the Julia Stoschek Collection to more recent productions.
Leckey brings together pop and youth culture with medieval visual language, religious iconography and questions surrounding the power of images. Recurring themes include vulnerability, ecstasy and transformation: the dancefloor as a place of escape, the urban environment as an archive of memory, and the body as a resonant surface for media, technology and desire.
The exhibition brings iconic works such as Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999), Leckey’s seminal portrait of British rave culture, into dialogue with later pieces like Cinema-in-the-Round (2006–08), which was awarded the Turner Prize in 2008. At its core are explorations of pop and youth culture, social class, media imagery and technological change from the 1970s to the present day.
The Julia Stoschek Foundation is internationally regarded as one of the leading institutions for time-based and media art, and its Berlin exhibition space provides a precise and compelling framework for complex, immersive works such as those by Mark Leckey. jsfoundation.art
