ART IN PLACE

ART IN PLACE is the City of Melville’s new annual series of temporary site-specific public artworks that aim to engage the community by giving residents and visitors unique opportunities to experience and encounter contemporary art in significant and accessible locations across the City.

In April 2019, the City was pleased to present its second ART IN PLACE installation, Sonic Hill, a site-specific audio sculpture by Agency 296, Tom Mùller and Ned Buckley installed at Wireless Hill.

The inaugural ART IN PLACE, Confluence, was commissioned in 2018 for the City of Melville’s 50th anniversary celebrations. It featured a light projection-based installation produced by VJZoo and Kambarni, illuminating the water and a fleet of boats at the meeting of the Swan and Canning Rivers.
