Associate

Monash Art Projects (MAP) is a collaborative studio that seeks to transform how we think of art in the public sphere, recognising the predominance of visual forms of media, communication, and information found in contemporary visual culture and the built environment.
Through a host of contexts and outcomes including exhibitions, conferences, publications and public art projects - some propositional, some temporary, some permanent - we critically and poetically reanimate how we regard and experience urban space.
