Lean-To is an exhibition, taking place over seven evenings in Commonplace Studio One, Dublin. Responses by Irish and international artists, both instructive and poetic, investigate infrastructures of generosity and shelter. The exhibition considers the resourcefulness of explorers, hermits and wanderers with works varying from drawings, projections, vernacular furniture, city farm solutions and gestures of hospitality.
There is an art to attending to the weather, to the route you might take, to the landmarks along the way, to how different the journey back looks from the journey out, to reading the sun and the moon and the stars to orient yourself, to the direction of running water, to the thousand things that make the wild a text that can be read by the literate. The lost are often literate in this language that is the language of the earth itself, or dont stop to read it
