Contour 556, Canberra’s Public Art Biennial

Canberra’s Public Art Biennial, October 2016, 2018, 2020

Contour 556 is the water level of Lake Burley Griffin, which links the event in name as well as in purpose to the history of the central Canberra landscape. The artworks and installations selected for the festival respond in some way to Canberra’s history, from 50,000 years to the present day. contour 556 will therefore offer the Canberra, Australian and international community a unique opportunity to engage with and understand the layers of Canberra’s history through art.
— Neil Hobbs and Karina Harris, Founding Directors of Contour 556
