Portfolio : Iteration : Again 13 Public Art Projects Across Tasmania

Iteration: Again is the second project in CAST’s International Art Program. For Iteration:Again Curatorial Director David Cross (NZ) was commissioned to travel to Tasmania to research and develop a project that includes the work of Tasmanian artists and curators working in a contemporary frame and an international context. Iteration:Again is a series of thirteen public art commissions by twenty- two Australian and international artists taking place across Tasmania from September 18 – October 15 2011. Produced by Contemporary Art Spaces Tasmania and David Cross, in conjunction with seven partner curators, Iteration:Again will present a compelling array of temporary artworks in largely unexpected places throughout Hobart, Launceston and beyond. Working to transform our experience of place for a moment in time, each commission will seek to address how temporary interventions or responses by artists to public sites, environments and buildings can serve to open up new ways of understanding Tasmania as a place with very complex cultural, social and spatial resonances. Fundamental to the curatorial premise is the idea of transforming or re-working an artwork over the course of a specified period of time.
