The Landscape, Ecology & Environment Research Residencies is a biannual project initiated at Leitrim Sculpture Centre during 2020. Now in its third rendition the programme provides artists with a wide range of supports 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 own practice. Alongside an exhibition of art works in various mediums during June 2024 artists will also included research portfolio’s that afford a unique perspective on to the different processes and orientations of their practice
Event Invitation: An Afternoon of Conversation and Material Exploration with Vanya Lambrecht Ward
As part of: When We Cease to Understand the World
Date: 20th of July
Time: 12-3
Join us for an interactive session filled with conversation and hands-on exploration of various materials. This "Talk and Make" event invites participants to delve into the fascinating states of matter in transformation.
Through an array of materials in various stages of change, such as paper, soil, and different pulps (including plant, paper, and mycelial pulp etc) discussions will be generated whilst also building and playing. These materials, in their in-between states, offer a unique opportunity to explore their properties and potential provocations. Keeping our hands busy while we talk not only sparks creativity but also fosters a deeper understanding of these elements and processes.
To enrich our discussions, we encourage participants to read a short text On processes and decay beforehand. This reading will help ground our conversations and provide a shared reference point. In addition to engaging in this stimulating dialogue, we invite attendees to collaborate in the creative process of making and remaking materials.
This event is free but spaces are limited so booking is advised, please book by emailing us at interfaceinagh@gmail.com

When We Cease to Understand the World is a group exhibition that takes its cue from the unique setting of Interface Inagh — a studio and residency programme situated in the Inagh Valley, in the heart of Connemara. The site was originally designed to be the biggest and most advanced salmon hatchery in the world, which supplied offshore salmon farmers with smolt via helicopter. The company’s ultimate failure — the factory was built too high above the adjacent lake — represents both the scale of human ambition and its disregard for natural surroundings.
The exhibition brings together the work of seven artists who explore the disconnection between humankind and nature, but also look at the potential of renewal. Through film, painting, sculpture and installation, they invite us to look closely, to look back to old practices, to learn a place and sit within its geology and deep time, and finally to connect with each other and the natural world.
