The exhibition considers play and collaboration, creating new relationships with art objects and materials.
The artworks have emerged from ongoing collaboration with community groups in Eastbourne, Brighton, Isle of Wight and Crawley. Through a series of interactive workshops, Leap Then Look has worked with participants to explore, test and develop creative strategies and ideas. From this the artists have created a lively, exciting, and curiosity-filled space designed to support and encourage all visitors to take part in playful exploration and critical thought through art making.
Everything in the exhibition is interactive and you are encouraged to spend time in the space and explore all of the possibilities that are available to you. Look in different ways, create sculptures, take photographs, move things around, rock and roll, or stack and play.
Leap Then Look create participatory artworks, projects and events for a broad spectrum of people, spotlighting the possibilities of play, collaboration and material exploration in cross-disciplinary art practice. Part of an ongoing national tour, Play Interact Explore changes and adapts to the venues and locations it travels to.

About Leap Then Look
Leap Then Look was founded in 2018 by artists Lucy Cran and Bill Leslie. They create interactive art works, participatory projects, workshops and events and have worked with participants from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and cognitive differences. Their art works encourage audiences to physically interact, inspiring playfulness, inquisitiveness and experimentation. Their installations combine art forms including sculpture and object making, performance, film, and photography. They believe that contemporary art practice should and can be made available and accessible to everyone and that we can all benefit from engaging with new ways of looking, making and thinking.
Leap Then Look have worked with arts institutions including; Tate, Towner Eastbourne, Royal Academy of Arts, National Gallery, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Henry Moore Foundation, Turner Contemporary, V&A, Brighton Festival, Compton Verney, Black Mountain College Museum - as well as Tramway.
Play Interact Explore was supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
