Mohill Enterprise Centre together with Leitrim County Council Arts Office and Local Enterprise Office Leitrim invite you to the opening of ‘Methodos Techne’
6pm-8pm, Thursday 5th May Mohill Enterprise Centre, Knockalongford, Mohill, Co. Leitrim.
This exhibition ‘Methodos Techne’ is the culmination of the 2015/16 Spark Programme at Mohill Enterprise Centre where Hiberform designer Leo Scarff has been resident over the last six months.
As part of the Spark Residency, Leo developed a multi-layered digital art, craft and design project which harnessed the facilities at the centre – buildings, hardware, software; the knowledge and skills of the staff; and engagement with the local community, designers, craftspeople and artists. The resulting project has been part research, part brainstorming/capacity building workshops, part design/craft/art educational project and part artwork exhibition/installation.
All these elements combined over the course of the last six months to expand the repertoire of MEC across new disciplines, to explore and demonstrate the amazing local talent in the region, and to create a lasting repository of information which the centre can use into the future. The exhibition, which is housed in one of the enterprise units at MEC, consists of new work by Leo and the people he had been working with during the residency along with information about MEC and research into design theory collected by Leo over many years, which he has collated for this project.
The exhibition continues Mon 9th – Wed 11th May, 10am-4pm daily
