Baum & Leahy

Baum & Leahy is an artist duo working across sculpture, visual art, installation and public engagement. Their practice brings together ecological thinking, contemporary scientific research and sensory worldmaking. Collaborating with scientists and cultural practitioners, their research-led projects, rooted in the natural and social sciences, are shaped through multisensory experience, spatial immersion and material storytelling. Guided by themes such as biophilia, multispecies coexistence and microbiopolitics, they develop projects that cultivate ecological imagination and expand sensory awareness. Working across art institutions, public space and academia, they approach collaboration as a mode of knowledge-making grounded in relation and mutual transformation. Baum & Leahy work between Copenhagen and London and have exhibited internationally, including at Wellcome Collection, Modern Art Oxford, Somerset House, V&A (UK), Kunsthal Charlottenborg, The National Gallery of Denmark, Medical Museion (DK), Nieuwe Instituut, Museum Het Valkhof, MU Hybrid Art House, Into Nature Biennial (NL), Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (ES), Blackwood Gallery (CA) and Art Laboratory Berlin (DE). Recent activities include a visiting arts fellowship focusing on the biosocial holobiont at the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at the University of Edinburgh, a public engagement project on sustainability and art-science communication (Sustain Art Sci) with Medical Museion, Danish Technical University and the University of Copenhagen, exploring art and activism with Roskilde Festival (DK), and the STARTS MUSAE residency ‘Food as Medicine’.
