From the Expanded Field to a Feasibility Study: on temporary public art commissioning and its outcomes is a reflective case study on delivering government funded outcomes for experimental temporary public art commissioning in regional Victoria. In 2020, Expanded Field, was funded by the City of Greater Geelong through their 2020 Arts Industry Commissions program and deployed across a number of civic sites in the Victorian regional centre of Geelong/Djilang on Wadawurrung Country. Project curator Ilana Russell and invited artist Sarah Jones, reflect on the value of the artist lab as both commissioning framework and performative public art outcome through the delivery of both Expanded Field: artist laboratory, and Feasibility Study: a work of experimental publishing. Following Donna Haraway and Karen Barad’s writing on the use of diffractive methodologies, we explore how through works of this kind, artists, curators, and councils might collaborate on the presentation of temporary public art for multiple publics.
