Burrard Marina Field House artist-in-residence Maddie Leach will present her recent projects including the Walters Prize nominated If You Find the Good Oil Let Us Know.

Taking up residency in June, Maddie Leach will begin research towards a Vancouver-based project. Leach’s practice is one that seeks ways of making artworks as a means to interpret and respond to specific context, through a lengthy process of enquiry and social interaction establishing relationships between form, materials, locations, histories, events, individuals and communities.
