Art Leads Art Leads ditches algorithmic pressures in favour of a relaxed and conversational pace. Through making, memory, myth, movement, and stories, artists imagine new futures; as catalysts for change, they can hold knowledge, support activism, and host acts of imagination. In a world that turns towards homogeneity, making art is to work freely and to lead others to play, dream, and think. Series I looks at the energy, innovation, and care brought to places and people through contemporary art, curatorial approaches, and cultural programming. The Series I meets artists in their studios, and focuses on influences, travels, materials and connections that are the formational stories of painters and makers. Series 1 was commissioned by Roscommon County Council and Creative Roscommon, curated and produced by Sarah Searson; Recorded live at King House Boyle. The interviews focused on hospitality, care, exchange, and environmental issues.
