Join us for an intimate conversation between Lawrence Lek, winner of the Frieze London Artist Award, and writer and theorist Amy Ireland.

Lawrence Lek is an artist, filmmaker, and musician who unifies diverse practices—architecture, gaming, video, music and fiction—into a continuously expanding cinematic universe. Over the last decade, Lek has incorporated video games and computer-generated animation into site-specific installations which he describes as ‘three-dimensional collages of found objects and situations.’ Often featuring interlocking narratives and the recurring figure of the wanderer, his work explores the myth of technological progress in an age of artificial intelligence and social change. 

Amy Ireland is a writer and theorist best known for her work with the technomaterialist transfeminist collective, Laboria Cuboniks, whose Xenofeminism: A Politics for Alienation (2018) has been translated into 18 languages. With Maya B. Kronic she is the author of Cute Accelerationism (2024). Amy currently works as an editor and translator for the UK contemporary art and philosophy publisher, Urbanomic.

Talk starts at 6:30PM
