Following a similar format to 2002, the laboratory was facilitated by national and international practitioners, and involved 20 participating Australian artists from diverse cultural, geographic and art form backgrounds.

The intensive lab provided an opportunity for participating artists to explore, debate, analyse and create. T_P_S 2 included developing participant-initiated projects, skills-based workshops, as well as lectures, conversations and debates. Two panel discussions were held during the workshop, with speakers invited to respond to topic areas. Speakers included Tony Ayres, John Baylis, Teresa Crea, Wesley Enoch, Anna Munster, and David Pledger.

Talks by Michelle Teran, one of the facilitators, were held just prior to the commencement of the workshop, and hosted by key contemporary art organisations in cities around Australia: Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and finishing in Wagga Wagga, offering the Australian arts community to engage in dialogue in an international context.
