We are extremely proud to be working with Tate Liverpool to present Selector – a brand new collaboration that will merge the worlds of contemporary art and contemporary music. The series will launch with Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey guest curating a range of events between 10th and 13th June, including an artist ‘In Conversation’ talk and three fascinating live events, under the title of Music From The Age Of Spiritual Machines.
Selector will explore the musical inspirations on Mark Leckey’s work, through conversation and performance, celebrating the influence music has on his art. Since the latter half of the 20th Century the relationship between music and art in contemporary culture has become increasingly entwined. Artists across genres are inspiring each other, breaking boundaries and experimenting with their practices. Selector is an opportunity to witness these artistic collisions, in a shared, immersive experience.
WED 10 JUNE - MEET THE ARTIST
Selector opens with an evening of conversation as Mark Leckey discusses the influence of music culture on his art. The event will be hosted by DJ, curator and multidisciplinary cultural producer Thristian, the founder of Global Roots, and co-founder of both Boiler Room and Worldwide FM.

THUR 11 JUNE - LIVE FILM SOUNDTRACKS
Moolakii Club Audio Interface x Mark Leckey | Live Soundtracks To Silent Films
Moolakii Club returns with their distinctive audiovisual night blending avant-garde cinema with live experimental electronica. This event will feature Mark Leckey productions from his archives being given brand new original soundtracks live, reacting to the visuals in real time. Nothing is pre-recorded. No two nights are ever the same. The result is a shared, immersive experience – cinematic, atmospheric and deeply engaging.
Featuring VX and Sulk Rooms plus special guest TBA.
FRI 12 JUNE - RICHIE CULVER (LIVE)
Richie Culver is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice operates at the interstice of contemporary image culture, expanded sound, and post-documentary poetics. His work investigates the unstable architectures of memory, place, and digital subjectivity, examining how personal and collective narratives migrate across media and sediment within aesthetic form.
Richie Culver will be performing live, more artists to be announced.
