Overview

On Saturday, November 16 and Sunday, November 17, Enoggera Reservoir won't just be Brisbane's oldest reservoir. As part of Open Actions, the Mt Nebo Road spot will become an immersive art playground. If you've ever wanted to explore the site, interact with creative installations, and engage with nature, water and the location's splendour, this is your chance.

Open Actions will feature six new artworks created by Aishla Manning, Anthony Baker, Aurora Christie, Guyala Bayles, Joella Warkill, Keemon Williams, Kylie Spear, and Primitive Motion (Sandra Selig and Leighton Craig), all of which are in dialogue with their unique spot. Some will involve cement mixers filled with rushing water, others will feature dingos guarding the dam, and yet another will unveil a mini-waterslide for giant ice cubes. You can also take a bushwalk with poets, listen to multi-sensory soundtrack and attend an album release.

When you're not directly engaging with the above pieces, you can also chill out on the lawn — on furniture and under a canopy designed by  local design studio Five Mile Radius.

Attendance is free, with Open Actions running from 10am–6pm on both days.
