July 22nd - August 20th 2022

The Landscape, Ecology & Environment Research Residencies (LEER) is a biannual project initiated at Leitrim Sculpture Centre in 2018. The 2022 programme provided artists with a wide range of support for the development of new engagements with landscape, ecology and/or environmental contexts and themes and to develop from this work, new directions, approaches and methodologies within their practice.

Each artist worked with concepts generated across three research strands: ‘Contexts & Themes’; ‘Sites &Locations’ and ‘Strategies & Methodologies’. These were assembled in research portfolios that accompanied the exhibition giving a unique insight into the different processes and orientations of each artist concerningthe wider contexts of landscape, ecology and environment.
