The Landscape Stories Art Project aims to utilise art to respond to and tell the stories of human relationships with the natural landscapes of the City of PAE, and how this relationship has shaped the place it is now.
This project will respond to one or more specific waterway or wetland landscapes within the City of PAE – to be determined by the artist/artist team.
Expressions of Interest are sought from artists/artist teams to utilise contemporary, temporary and/or permanent art to respond to the City of PAE’s unique natural environment and to explore connections between the landscape and the community.
Artists are encouraged to be bold and inventive in their approach and the way that they engage the community in their creations and how they relate to the chosen waterway and/or wetland.
Artists/artist teams are to work with the local Kaurna, environment, history and/or heritage groups to develop engaging work that is inspired by and responds to these relationships.
Proposals could transforms the site(s) into a creative experience, performance or artwork.
Expressions of Interest will be considered from a wide range of art forms - including, but not limited to sculpture, film, photography, installations, multi-media, craft and/or performance.
There does need to be a public outcome to coincide with World Environment Day – Friday 5 June 2020 – and a permanent legacy as a result of the project – this could take the form of film, photography, documentation, artwork, etc.
