Lurk Burley Griffin
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 c556 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.
Watch this space for more details on my contribution to the 2020 c556 Festival: Lurk Burley Griffin, a poetry-video-performance series by the Lurk Collective (myself, Zoe Anderson, Jacqui Malins, and Melinda Smith). We are engaging with the open spaces of the lakeshore with a particularly feminist slant.
