ONSITE is a new project that activate specific locations and grapple with the predicaments of place. Four site-specific artistic interventions are planned over 2025/26 to generate unexpected encounters in non-traditional spaces. The curatorial collaboration between Alice McCool, Kim Munro and Yusuf Ali Hayat, will consider ways in which places retain remnants of layered (hi)stories in the collective residual memory. The series interrupts the day-to-day function of specific sites to unsettle audiences’ expectations and renew familiar perceptions of how those locations are used, narrativised, and co-opted. Artists from First Nations and culturally diverse backgrounds and working across various art forms will be commissioned to create unique experiences that are embedded in the distinct locations and their local communities. This project is part of OSCA’s ongoing Projects of the Everyday initiative.
