There are many themes to explore when thinking of collaborative work.

1. Pop-up Art Gallery/ Public art

Instead of Hay we could also think of materials that could work similarly that we can get such as paper pulp, wire, cloth etc and use compost as a adhesive? 

What about using wooden Pallets?

It is important to think about what kinds of public art we are interested in creating. I personally like this quote by Prof. James Wines that considers public art:
Create Public art as the environment and not just in the environment.
That makes me think about the kind of material we use the object we create and its relationship to the space around it. Is something plopped in the middle of someplace else 'public art'? What are we trying to accomplish as a class?

BLAKE FALL-CONROY
 Minimum Wage Machine (Work in Progress) (2008-2010) 

Custom electronics, change sorter, wood, plexiglas, motor, misc. hardware, pennies. 
(approx. 15 x 19 x 72 inches) 

The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 4.5 seconds, for $8.00 an hour, or NY state minimum wage (2014). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money. The machine's mechanism and electronics are powered by the hand crank, and pennies are stored in a plexiglas box. The MWM can be reprogrammed as minimum wage changes, or for different wages in different locations.
