Testing Grounds
Wurundjeri Land
Queen Victoria Market
Naarm/Melbourne, Aug - Oct 2023.
For six weeks Testing Grounds, in collaboration with Ilana Russell and Lana Nguyen, ran a creative development lab for Public Art Park. The Lab focused on drawing out ideas about this place – the Victoria Market and its surroundings – and developing creative works in response. The Lab was a convivial space where we gathered each week, made lunch, discussed ideas and developed projects.
co-worm-ing is a site-specific collaborative digital production developed for Public Art Park with Joy Zhou and a mobile worm farm in residence, exploring how to produce digital art through the process of composting.
