In rapidly commercializing cities, spaces where one can simply exist—without the expectation of spending money—are becoming increasingly scarce. Amidst this, the park may be the last urban infrastructure where anyone is welcome and free to spend their time as they wish. This project takes “local communities and music” as its point of entry. Centered around field recordings of environmental sounds in and around parks, as well as research at local record shops and libraries, it hosts events with local artists. These efforts are then compiled, published, and sold as the “Open Field Report.” Through this dialogue between practice in the park and archival publication, the project explores what future urban public spaces could look like, and the landscapes that may emerge from them.
