Contour 556

'Interventions in the Landscape', a three week public art festival.

Contour 556 is a large scale public realm intervention, bringing together local, national and international artists delivering installed works, performance, walks, dance and digital presentations on the 'canvas' of the Canberra landscape.

It takes place around the major cultural institutions, the National Library of Australia, the National Gallery of Australia, the high Court of Australia and the Kingston Arts Precinct.  Contour 556 will interrogate the relationships between artworks and space; artists and the public; and the ways in which art, performance and play can influence how the public perceive and remember space.
