Join us at Patrick Studios to explore Practice holds Discovery, a new group show of works created by artists and designers undertaking PhD Practice Research at the University of Leeds.

Practice holds Discovery brings together a diverse set of practices shaped through ongoing processes of making and inquiry, from practitioners based in the School of Design and the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.

The exhibition brings together a variety of artistic and design practices shaped through distinct approaches to materials, methods, form and critical reflection, offering insight into how practice itself can function as a mode of investigation and discovery.

The title expresses a shared belief in the capacity of creative practice to generate new insights and deepen understanding within academic research. Throughout the exhibition, the interplay between making and thinking is evident, articulating how discovery can emerge through the specific processes and reflective approaches that inform each researcher’s work.

Spanning a range of disciplines and media, the exhibition highlights the diversity and continuing evolution of practice research.

Join the artists and designers for a private view on Wednesday 18 June, 6-9pm. All welcome!
