A contemporary public art program returns this March, paying tribute to the Altona Meadows land artwork created in 1998 by New York-based environmental artist Agnes Denes.
Dear Agnes features new site-specific works by 12 artists and collectives that pay homage to the land artwork A Forest for Australia, and respond to local landscapes and environmental themes.
The exhibition will be held within the heritage buildings and grounds of Altona's Truganina Explosives Reserve, just one kilometre from Denes' land artwork.
The exhibition program follows the 2023 exhibition that celebrated A Forest for Australia's 25th anniversary.
Dear Agnes is presented by Hobsons Bay City Council in partnership with Greater Western Water, RMIT University and Deakin University, with support from local community groups.
The exhibition, alongside a program of activities, will be open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 13 and 29 March.
Opening times:
Friday 13, 20 and 27 March - 10am-3pm
Saturday 14, 21 and 28 March - 11am-5pm
Sunday 15, 22 and 29 March - 11am-3pm
