My research explores alternative models for public art commissioning by using the framework of an artist laboratory to facilitate the development and presentation of site-responsive, public-realm works. Considering the laboratory as a space for experimentation, critical thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration, I examine how these different methodologies can foster an intentional and theoretical approach to the way creative practitioners can intervene with a site.
