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 the City of Sydney Ideas and Innovation grant and developer contributions to public art for the Danks Street South Precinct in Waterloo, NSW, Australia.
