A MURMUR OF HISTORY
30 April - 10 June 2018,
by appointment >
Mamma Andersson, Dexter Dalwood, Amie Siegel, John Stezaker
DE LEÓN is delighted to present our latest exhibition that brings together the work of four international artists, Mamma Andersson, Dexter Dalwood, Amie Siegel and John Stezaker.
The show explores how artists' work can be informed by elements from the past whether this is through literature, politics, film or history. By appropriating images and cultural references and reconfiguring or recombining them, these artists offer us a lens onto the present, enabling an exploration of such topics as the plasticity of memory, psychology, identity and cultural ownership.
