Partnership between Hope University and Tate Liverpool promises lectures that are easy on the eye.
Turner Prize winner Mark Leckey is to give the first of a new series of ‘Tate-Hope’ lectures in January.
Mark, who was born in Birkenhead and went to school in Ellesmere Port, will speak about the influence that growing up in Merseyside has had on his work. The talk will be held at Liverpool Hope’s Cornerstone campus in the city centre on January 14th. The day after the lecture, Mark will visit the university’s art department and talk to staff and students.
Christoph Grunenberg, Director of Tate Liverpool said: “We are delighted that Mark Leckey is re-launching this partnership that brings the best contemporary artists to Liverpool. “The influence Mark’s roots in Merseyside have had on his work is profound and this is an exciting opportunity to hear more about how the work of this significant contemporary artist has developed in the place where he is from.”
The event renews the successful partnership between Tate Liverpool and Liverpool Hope University building on joint aims to bring the best contemporary artists to Liverpool.
