MAREE CLARKE IN PANEL TALK ON CREATIVITY & CONSTRUCTION

Join contemporary artist Maree Clarke, designer Stephen Banham and architect Jefa Greenaway in a conversation with Namila Benson as they discuss their experiences creating permanent works for the Metro Tunnel Project. This panel will explore the challenges and opportunities of working within a large infrastructure project, where the imperative of construction meets the demands of artistic innovation. Hear how they navigated the tensions between creativity and engineering to deliver impactful public art, design, and architecture for the project, and discover how their work is reshaping Melbourne’s urban landscape.

Together, these artists offer a fascinating glimpse into how art, design, and architecture are being used to transform Melbourne’s urban landscape through the Metro Tunnel Project.

Creativity and Construction: Public Art and Infrastructure is presented by Open House Melbourne and Metro Tunnel Creative Program in partnership with Fed Square. This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2025, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
