Contour 556 | Canberra’s public art biennial

Sixty Australian and international artists will participate in Canberra’s public art biennial ‘Contour 556’ from 5 to 28 October. Curated by landscape architect Neil Hobbs the event will see works by Emma Beer, Alex Asch, Byrd, Alexander Boynes, Kael Stasce, Chris Carmody, Dan Lorrimer, Alex Seton, Rosalind Lemoh and others inspired by the local environment and its history. In addition to exploring the site-specific installations audiences can add to their experience with talks and performances, or attend a forum on public art and space on Friday 26 October which ties into the guiding principle of ‘Contour 556’, ‘to transform how viewers remember or recall the Canberra landscape… searching for a link between art and the place they experienced it in,’ says Hobbs.
