Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo will host "FIORUCCI MADE ME HARDCORE FEAT. BIG RED SOUNDSYSTEM," a solo exhibition by British artist Mark Leckey, from February 22, 2024 to August 18, 2024. This exhibition, part of the "Hors-les-murs" (Beyond the Walls) program, which displays works from the Fondation Louis Vuitton collection at Espace Louis Vuitton locations in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul, and Osaka, fulfills the Fondation's intention to carry out international projects and make its works accessible to a wider audience.

Mark Leckey's diverse practice lies at the intersection of pop culture and counterculture, fusing youth, rave, pop, nostalgia, class studies, and British history, and, following the teachings of the readymade, fusing sculpture, video, sound, performance, and even collage. His work is truly worthy of recognition because it recognizes popular culture as something elevated, something interesting, and a source of genuine art.

We are pleased to announce that two works from the Fondation Louis Vuitton collection, Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (10th Anniversary Remastered Edition) (1999-2003-2010) and Felix the Cat (2013), will be presented within the framework of the "Hors-les-murs" (Beyond the Walls) program.

About the Fondation Louis Vuitton
The Fondation Louis Vuitton is an arts institution dedicated to contemporary art and artists, as well as the important 20th-century works that inspired them. As a public institution, the Fondation seeks to reach a wide audience through its collection and the exhibitions it hosts. Designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, this magnificent building is already considered a landmark of 21st-century architecture and embodies the Fondation's unique commitment to artistic development. Since its opening in October 2014, the museum has welcomed more than 9 million visitors from France and around the world. The Fondation Louis Vuitton has actively promoted international collaborations, both in its own programs and in partnership with other foundations and museums, both private and public, including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (Icons of Modern Art: The Shchukin Collection in 2016 and The Morozov Collection in 2021), the Museum of Modern Art in New York (Being Modern: MoMA in Paris), and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London (The Courtauld Collection. A Vision for Impressionism). The Fondation also provides artistic direction for the "Hors-les-murs" (Beyond the Walls) program, which showcases works from the collection at Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul, and Osaka. The exhibitions held in these spaces are free and open to the public, and the organization promotes its activities through a variety of related cultural communications.
