The English duo Leap Then Look (Lucy Cran and Bill Leslie) produce works of art and organise participatory projects, workshops and events in art galleries, schools, universities and community groups. Their projects are open to participation for people of all ages and abilities, making contemporary art an accessible experience for children. One of the keys to their research-based practice is playing, curiosity and experimentation, combining art forms such as object-making, performance, installation, film and photography, allowing participants to engage in multiple processes and create their own work. Leap Then Look have taken their projects to institutions such as the Tate Gallery, the Royal Academy, the Henry Moore Foundation and the Turner Contemporary Gallery.
Leap Then Look are now bringing Make Remake to Doramas Park; an interactive sculpture, a set of grooved organic forms that can be endlessly reworked and reshaped, assembled and disassembled; a process through which the sculptures emerge and grow, providing new creative and aesthetic possibilities. Creative construction is thus understood as an organic process, emerging with no planning, in a natural and fluid way. Make Remake is a conception of human action that situates it right at the heart of nature’s behaviour and not as an activity in confrontation with it. Finally, Make Remake evokes the notion of autopoiesis (self-construction) proposed by the biologists Maturana and Varela in 1973 to explain cognition and the essence of life, and which describes the capacity of an entity to reproduce itself.
