Artist Mark Leckey presents the latest in Hayward series of artist-curated exhibitions. The Universal Addressibility of Dumb Things will explore the theme of transformative technology, a kind of techno-animism, where the inanimate comes to life, and no distinction is drawn between things mental and things material, the sacred and the profane. Contemporary works of art, mechanical objects, historical material from science and archaeological museums, factory prototypes and imagery from internet sites will coexist in the pages of this book.
