American-born Cologne-based cultural critic turned science-fiction writer, witness to a number of exhibitions by Mark Leckey, and amateur of the sort of cyber cultures and technologies that equally fascinates Leckey, Mark von Schlegell has been invited to present a lecture entitled "Against Raymond Chandler" in the context of Lending Enchantment to Vulgar Materials. He is the author of the novelette High Wichita and the novels Venusia (2005) and Mercury Station (2009) both published by M.I.T./Semiotext(e). His experimental fiction and cultural criticism appears regularly in the international art community.
