Temporary Services is a collective of three individuals formed in 1998. Brett Bloom, Salem Collo-Julin, and Marc Fischer create dynamic temporary public projects and installations that encourage dialogue and community engagement. Temporary Services has published more than 70 informational booklets that entice audiences into social critique and personal reflection.

“We seek to both create and participate in relationships that are not competitive and are mutually beneficial. We seek tactics for harnessing the generosity of many individuals to produce projects on a scale that none of us could achieve in isolation. We strive toward aesthetic experiences that are built upon trust and unlimited experimentation.”
