Open Field Agency is an artist-led experiment in
delivering public art over time within private development through
durational residencies. It is public art reframed as a slow, incremental
process of making a place more public.
The Open Field Agency hosts artists, scientists, architects, carers, historians, performers, reserachers, students and others in a residency space. The
task of Open Field Agents is to tend to the openness of this place.
Its’ social and spatial openness through their own
work, research, conversations and creations.
We
are an artist and an architect, finding our own agency in the context
of city making. Since 2017 we have had many conversations with locals
about their desires and fears for this place and these have been the
catalyst for the Open Field Agency.
The Open Field Agency is being delivered by MAPA Art + Architecture (Hugo Moline and Heidi Axelsen) and funded by developer contributions to public art for the Danks Street South Precinct in Waterloo, NSW, Australia.
