Join Benalla Art Gallery, University of Melbourne, Winton Wetlands, and participating artists for the official celebration of the exhibition Always and Altered. Enjoy refreshments, and the opportunity to converse with artists and project collaborators in a relaxed setting.
Inspired by Benalla Art Gallery’s idyllic position between the Benalla Botanical Gardens (manicured gardens designed and developed in 1886) and Lake Benalla (an artificial lake created in the 1970s), Always and Altered ponders our local and universal relationship with the land.
Featuring works from the Benalla Art Gallery Collection, Winton Wetlands digital archive, loaned directly from artists, and resulting from the University of Melbourne’s Art + Ecology Residency at Dookie, the exhibition ruminates on our interactions with and impact on the land. Works explore our shaping of the landscape for a myriad of purposes, First Nations custodianship of the land and connection to Country, the importance of National Parks and conservation projects, and human environmental impacts.
