RESEARCH IMPACT STATEMENT

RESEARCH BACKGROUND

Curated by Sarah Miller, Teresa Crea and Fiona Winning, ‘Time_Place_Space’ (TPS), is a national, research and development strategy for Australian artists working with hybridity and performance. A two-week artists’ laboratory, TPS6 is an initiative of the Inter-Arts Office of the Australia Council and managed by Performance Space, Sydney. Originally planned as a five-year project (2001 – 06), TPS6 took place at QUT’s Creative Industry Precinct, Brisbane, 2009.

International Facilitators: IWAI Shigeaki (Japan), Arahmaiani Feisal (Indonesia) and TANG Fu Kuen (Singapore). Australian facilitators: Margie Medlin (NSW), Teresa Crea (SA) and Constantine Koukias (TAS).

RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION

Each iteration of TPS seeks to create a research environment that is responsive to artists’ needs, and which takes advantage of facilitators’ expertise. The curators select facilitators and participants; develop the workshop’s framework and program; build strategies for support and delivery; and undertake project evaluation. For TPS6 a number of observers comprising Australia Council staff and international delegates from Asia, observed a small part of the lab in response to international interest in the project.

Research Significance

Originally planned as a five-year project (2001 – 06), TPS6 came into being by invitation of the Australia Council as a consequence of the project’s national and international impact on emerging and experimental art practices. Funded by the Australia Council and State Funding agencies, TPS6 received substantial in-kind support from site partner, QUT Creative Industries and Performance Space, Sydney. Arts Queensland funded the visiting artists’ talks and international delegates undertook a public forum at Metro Arts, Brisbane. http://performancespace.com.au/events/tpsnomad/
