Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore

Went to see the Mark Leckey exhibition at the Manchester City Art Gallery. An incredible use of sound in his work. Spent a long time watching 'Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore', almost to the point of bursting my eardrums. Feels like the images are in constant competition with sound. Both engulfed me but I can't process both equally, I must focus on one or the other. After Whitworth talk by the artist, I doubted that I would like his work, but I was drawn in completely. The film is incredibly evocative and the whole piece truly conveys the spirit and feeling of a tribe or a gang that the music gave to the youth of that time, almost felt a part of the movement for a second. Plan on returning soon. I could still hear the noise from the bottom floor, a cacophony.
