This large scale curated Public Art project responds to the landscape, histories and technologies at Melbourne Water's Western Treatment Plant, Werribee. TREATMENT, with curator David Cross, associate curator Cameron Bishop, and six leading Australian artists - Bindi Cole Chocka, Megan Evans, Shane McGrath, Catherine Bell, Techa Noble and Spiros Panigirakis - have been supported to research the site and create artworks experienced by bus, across the plant. The artists have been commissioned to develop projects at a variety of sites. Sensory, technological, community and historical engagement are key aspects of this high profile project.
