Making Time in its present form has been crafted by artist & researcher Tessa Zettel with indispensable support from a number of project friends & co-creators.

Tessa presented Making Time at the 2012 ANTI Contemporary Art Festival in Kuopio (Finland), with dramaturgical input from Sarah Rodigari and production assistance from Susie Nelson & Anna Matveinen. In 2013 it was remade at Sydney’s Performance Space, with huge production support from Tulleah Pearce, Bec Dean, Julia Gove & Karl Khoe (the other half of Makeshift, co-initiator of the project in 2010 and builder of the preserving cart). Its last major appearance was at Artspace Visual Arts Centre, Gadigal Land/Sydney, for the 2014 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship, once again made possible by the indefatigable efforts of perennial project angels Julia Gove & Susie Nelson. In between public outings, its material archive was for many years looked after by the lovely Simon & Anna of Pasta Emilia in Surry Hills.

Smaller iterations have been hosted by curators Judith Wielander & Gilly Karjevsky at Jardin Essentiel (Brussels, 2016), Laura Bernhardt within (no)action(no)space (Stuttgart, 2016), and artist Valentina Karga during her Berlin Farmlab project (Berlin, 2013).

Making Time was first devised and piloted at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) in 2010 by the collaboration Makeshift (Tessa Zettel & Karl Khoe), whose speculative site-based projects appeared in such exhibitions as If you were to live here… 5th Auckland Triennial (Fresh Gallery, Auckland, 2013), Primavera 2011 (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, 2011), Sister Cities Biennial: Urbanition (San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery/Carriageworks, 2011), and In the Balance: Art for a Changing World (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, 2010).
