Len Lye: An artist in perpetual motion
Free admission
Open daily 10am-6pm. Late Night Thursdays until 9pm.
Curated by Alessio Cavallaro and Tyler Cann. Presented by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in collaboration with the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery (New Plymouth, New Zealand), and with the support of the Len Lye Foundation and the New Zealand Film Archive.
Discover the art of Len Lye (1901 - 1980), one of the most radical creative minds of the modern age. This unforgettably exuberant exhibition surveys his work across film, sculpture, painting, poetry and more. Exploding with kaleidoscopic colour and pulsing with rhythmic beats, the exhibition is the largest survey of Len Lye's work ever presented.
New Zealand-born Len Lye is a seminal figure in the history of the moving image. In his early twenties, Lye travelled throughout the South Pacific, and lived for extended periods in Australia and Samoa. Moving to London in the 1920s, and then New York in the 1940s, Len Lye's career unfolded amidst avant garde modernism on the international stage.

Theater Grottesco will perform the hilarious "The Richest Deadman Alive!" September through October 2009 in the Stieren Hall of the Santa Fe Opera. The company is known for boisterous, joyous, cutting-edge physical theater.
The play, created by Theater Grottesco, is the story of an average middle class couple that accidentally discovers the road to riches. They stumble along it the best they can, with some dubious results. The play speaks directly to social and economic conditions, and is presented as a broad farce to poke fun at the universal human foible of greed.
William Walden, a hapless asthmatic, is locked out of the house one spring morning when the flowers are particularly aggressive. He succumbs, but sneezes himself back to life when flowers are placed in the open coffin at his funeral. His joy quickly vanishes when his wife informs him that the insurance money has already been collected and if they simply create a new identity for William, they can take their dream vacation. They lose all their scam money while on vacation, one thing leads to another and by play's end, the Walden's have discovered insurance fraud, preying on society's weakest members. |

kate scardifield: false narratives |
| Venue: | Peloton Gallery: 19 + 25 Meagher Street Chippendale NSW 2008 Sydney Australia |
|---|
| Date: | '13 august - 5 september 2009' |
|---|
| Time: | Thursday to Saturday 1-6pm |
|---|
False Narratives is a new body of work by Kate Scardifield, which explores ingrained historical constructs through a language of silhouettes, intertwining references to 17th century medicine, Victorian garmentry and the practices of modernday surgery.
Drawing on J.G Ballard's idea of the marriage between reason and nightmare in contemporary times, Scardifield stages an inquiry into the lengths we travel in order to (re)compose and edit history. The cut and the act of cutting function as the artist's inherent methodology of practice. Apparent in large fabric tableau vivants, these assemblages of worn garments
and second hand domestic furnishings are cut, stretched and wrapped into figurative compositions. Patterns of dress pins act to define and simultaneously break down these silhouette structures, whilst evoking an uncanny sense of movement and action in a scene rendered still.
The exhibition continues the artistss exploration into materiality and visual narrative structures as forms of possibility and persuasion. Life-size fabric silhouettes sit in conversation with more intimate compositions on paper that gently weave through preconceived fallacies and fictions. New and old formulae of history are offered through an exchange of past, present and future, suggesting a sense of pre-emptive battle or some sort of exquisite demise. |

Arts House present acclaimed UK theatre ensemble Forced Entertainment's provocative new work Spectacular. Spectacular is about death, playing dead and about the strange contact between two performers on-stage and an audience caught between what they are watching and what they are being told.
A lone performer takes to the stage, explaining that the show we're watching is somehow different tonight. The atmosphere is different, his entrance was off, the lights are wrong, some scenery is missing, and some performers are absent. The tone is wrong. Things are somehow falling to pieces, or maybe things are just now falling into place. The audience reaction, our protagonist says, is not quite what he expected, not quite what he's used to. Perhaps the fact he is dressed as a skeleton has something to do with it.

The Store Room has joined forces with a select group of companies to once again reopen as a premium performance venue in 2009. In association with Walking Into Bars the first show to grace the stage will be Lucy Freeman's production of A Narrow Time For Angels.
It's midnight at the morgue and Sam is working overtime when her routine autopsy is interrupted by a mysterious woman on a macabre mission. Sam finds herself drawn into a world of desperate acts, simmering passion, betrayal and murder.
This dark and hilarious comedy about love and madness in the depths of a morgue, couples the vision of the brilliant Lucy Freeman with the talents of
up and coming playwright Cerise de Gelder. Combined with three of Australia's most astute comic actresses in Marcella Russo, Georgina Naidu and Hayley Butcher, it promises to provide both a hysterical and unsettling experience.
Between midnight and morning, between love and loss, between death and
heaven's doors...it's a narrow time for angels.

Soul Power PG
Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, 93 mins, USA, 2008, 35mm, English and French with English subtitles. Courtesy: Madman
"Godfather of Soul" James Brown screams onto the screen in this electrifying new work documenting the wild concert that preceded the legendary Ali vs Foreman 'Rumble in the Jungle' bout of 1974. Containing no contemporary interviews and very much a companion piece to Leon Gast's When We Were Kings (which Levy-Hinte co-edited), Soul Power is part concert film, part social commentary but all sweat and pelvis. As such it captures a most explosive of musical moments with enormous precision. Filled with great off-the-cuff sequences and interviews, this true vrit work brings togethe! r some of the world's greatest R&B artists of the time including B.B. King and Bill Withers. Joining the fray are African musicians who perform against a backdrop of organisational chaos which could go horribly awry at any moment - especially with Mr James Brown and Mr Ali at the epicentre.

Dennis Lambert, a phenomenal songwriting sensation who produced chart-toppers in every genre of music in the 1970s and '80s, from the Four Tops' 'Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got' to Glen Campbell's 'Rhinestone Cowboy', finds himself stuck in real estate business obscurity in 2007 when he's invited to embark on a bemusing "comeback" tour of the Philippines! This affectionate musical portrait by Lambert's son Jody transcends simple nostalgia to become an intimate, humorous homage to the man, the musician and the father. Some lives deserve an encore and Dennis is making the most of his. Australian premiere!

The show is inspired by the Julia's hilarious memoirs of the same name about moving to the UK, going broke, too many 'overnight romances' and learning the hard way that mojitos are not one of the five major food groups. Julia will be revealing excerpts from the book whilst weaving her special brand of stand up magic and divulging tidbits that were too naughty to print. |
