Lecture-performance: Batter My ❤️ 3-Personed G0D (Extreme Presence Programme)

The performance-lecture by artist Mark Leckey begins with a Medieval prophesy and ends with the high dimensional realm we are about to enter. It threads together apocalyptic visions, the 20th century counterculture, Y2K and the singularity. Detail of Paolo Uccello, Battle of San Romano (ca.1435-1440). Courtesy of Mark Leckey. -- This programme is part of Extreme Presence, presented by Hartwig Art Foundation (23–25 October 2026). Extreme Presence gathers artists, thinkers, technologists and practitioners across a weekend of talks, performances, interventions and workshops, spread across three locations in Amsterdam Zuid—Hartwig Proxy (Parnassusweg 213), Cinema The Pulse, (Hildegard Von Bingenstraat 4) and the newly opened pop-up space Parnassus 212 (Parnassusweg 212). It continues and expands the research and R&D activities of the future Hartwig Museum (opening 2028), exploring devotional currents in contemporary art, digital technology, ecological and theological thought, alongside knowledge traditions that have long held presence and relation at the centre of practice.
