A heartfelt, honest and enduring performance celebrating the perpetual profundity and artistic individuality of Bon Iver and their vast musical catalogue.

OUTSIDE THE LINE | Cathy Sofarnos
7 Oct - 19 Nov | Burrinja Gallery
‘Outside the Line’ is an introspective body of work that embarks on an ontological journey, delving into the essence of abstract concepts and their profound connections to childhood memories and experiences. Through vibrant and evocative abstract expressions, this collection invites viewers to explore the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination.
Drawing inspiration from my own recollections of a carefree childhood, the paintings encapsulate the essence of innocent wonder, nostalgia, and joy. Each stroke of colour and texture becomes a visual ode to the emotions and impressions imprinted upon the canvas of memory. As I navigate the abstract realm, I endeavour to unravel the nature of being and existence through the lens of introspection.
These paintings become portals to ponder the very fabric of reality and our place within it. ‘Outside the Line’ serves as a reminder that our childhood memories, with their unbridled creativity and imagination, continue to shape our understanding of the world and leave lasting imprints on our life journey.
Artist Statement
Cathryn Sofarnos is a multi-disciplinary abstract artist based in Mt Evelyn, Australia. Born in Hobart, Tasmania she enjoyed a free range childhood roaming the untamed wilderness of her Tasmanian backyard. Endless hours were spent exploring empty windswept beaches, investigating rock pools and leaving marks in the sand, and the deep impressions of the child's mind, has provided a solid foundation for Cathryn's work today.
Along with a deep interest in dimensional ontology and the metaphysical layers of our perception, Cathryn’s work delves into the interplay between abstract form and the dimensional nature of colour , line and pattern. By embracing the fluidity and ambiguity of abstraction, she invites the viewer to contemplate the interconnectedness of multiple dimension and its potential influence on our perception of existence . Her dynamic expression of line and colour, sets the intention to captivate a glimpse into the multi-dimensional nature of our world, creating a vivid and evocative experience on a large scale.

COLOUR FIELDS / NEGATION OF LINE | Prue Crome
7 Oct - 19 Nov | Burrinja Gallery
Line on canvas and the edge of a canvas direct and contain the focus of the viewer, ‘Colour fields / negation of line’ investigates the conceptual notion of canvas as object and surface where vision and thoughts are engaged in the intention and meaning held on the canvas. Colour fields continues the investigation with line and marks minimised, omitting a focal point, subtle layering of pigments hopes to capture the illusive nature of light and depth perception on a thin surface. The intention is to create an immersive quality, felt with all the senses.
Philosophically, my thoughts reside around metaphysical concerns of transience and the intangible nature of perception. The inspiration for these colour field paintings comes from the atmospherics of light that brings a sense of boundlessness and an ability expand and contract space.
Prue Crome lives and works in Kallista, in the Dandenong Ranges.
About the Artist
Childhood on the Sydney northern beaches, powerful embracing ocean with vast skies, mountain top rainforest property in North Qld, distant views and weather events and now in the Dandenong Ranges, spacious skies and distant views. An outdoors person connected to the constant ebb and flow of my environment.
My background is in the environmental sciences, industrial design, graphics and sculpture. Whilst studying for my MFA I became enthralled with space and light and investigating the conditions that alter one’s perception, with a focus on immersive installations. Solo and group exhibitions in Cairns, Brisbane, Singapore, Hamburg, Melbourne and residencies in Yokohama and Melbourne.

All That Which Sings | Eleanor Louise Butt
7 Oct - 19 Nov | Burrinja Gallery
‘As the image pulls me deep inside of it, a special kind of silence descends, trapping me in its dark spaces and channels of light; releasing its secrets as it carries me across surfaces and down through layers. And then that eternal struggle, as I try to pull back from its hold (its trance-inducing revelry, its devilry).’ Dr Jan Bryant, 2022
About the Artist
Eleanor Louise Butt is a Kallista-based contemporary artist whose practice is grounded in studio experimentation. Taking painting as her primary medium, she employs colour, texture, line, and form as strategies for charging surfaces with gestural energy. Expanding these techniques into bronze sculpture and drawing, Eleanor’s work adopts the potentialities of paint to create visual dialogues across a range of media, where action, experience, perception, memory, and art historical references are interwoven and folded back into one another.
Eleanor has held solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney and the UK since 2014, and has been included in group exhibitions in Melbourne, Denmark, Geelong, and Sydney since 2009. She has an Honours degree from the Victorian College of the Arts (2013).
Eleanor was the 2019 recipient of a tenancy at Porthmeor Studios, St Ives, Cornwall, UK - the first female Australian artist in the studios’ 140-year history. She was awarded the George Hicks Award (2012) and has been a finalist in the Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize (2023), Muswellbrook Art Prize (2023), Waverley Art Prize (2023), Omnia Art Prize (2023), Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize (2016) and the M Collection Art Award (2016).
Eleanor Louise Butt is represented by Nicholas Thompson Gallery.

Double Feature | Damian Callinan
Thu 26 Oct @ 7.30pm | Burrinja Theatre
A romantic romp through Post WW2 Melbourne!
The surprise discovery of his mother’s 1946 diary leads three-time Barry Award nominee Damian Callinan on a cinematic, romantic romp through post-war Melbourne. However, her diary poses more questions than it does answers.
With suitors lining up for 19-year-old Kathleen Purcell, will Jack Bowlen ever get the Canadian two step right? Will Ron Rogan keep his hands to himself? But most importantly for Damian’s very existence, will she notice the dapper fly boy who has just returned from active service?
His mother’s charming journal is hilariously contrasted with his father Adrian’s retirement diary that bookends his parent’s loving relationship and sadly, reveals the tragedy that brought it to an end. The creator and star of the Netflix hit film The Merger uses his powerful gift for storytelling to recast his parents in a funny and poignant double feature of love and loss.
“Sublime, heartwarming, hilarious - an absolute triumph.” Sammy J [comedian, ABC broadcaster & presenter]

Minor Gold ~ Live in the Lyre
Thu 2 Nov @ 8.00pm | Lyre Room
Minor Gold are the new Americana/Folk duo featuring ARIA nominated, award-winning songwriters Tracy McNeil & Dan Parsons. Living in a van whilst touring as solo artists in early 2020, Parsons and McNeil hightailed it out of Melbourne Victoria up to sunny Queensland, narrowly avoiding the winter as the first lockdown occurred. Holed up in the land of palm trees and perfect weather, the duo subsequently wrote their debut album ‘Minor Gold’ – released August 11, 2023.
Weaving masterful harmonies around stripped-back, organic arrangements that draw on the breezy sounds of 70’s west-coast pop, the daydream haze of 60’s folk to the ballad-power and polaroid romance of the 80’s, Minor Gold display a spellbinding musical connection throughout this superb collection of songs.
“The pairs real superpower is their melodic vocal interplay and sixth-sense harmonies…Imagine standing at a crossroads, halfway between Laurel Canyon and a sandy palm tree cove. These are the intoxicating sounds you might hear drifting on that summer breeze.” - Chris Familton Rhythms Magazine
In under a year, Minor Gold have released three singles, each added to national high rotation on Double J. In February 2023, the duo charmed audiences at Folk Alliance International in Kansas City, and have just completed a 26+ date North American Tour with an Official Showcase at the AmericanaFest in Nashville and additional shows supporting The Teskey Brothers in major venues in the U.S. & Canada.

Xani ~ An Inaccurate History of Electronic Dance Music ~ Live in the Lyre
Fri 17 Nov @ 8.00pm | Lyre Room
Xani, the award-winning musical alchemist, brings her latest album 'An Inaccurate History of Electronic Dance Music' to life, Live in the Lyre. Get ready to be transported to a limitless and timeless musical world, with Xani's string-filled genre-expanding tracks.
Join us for a night of boundless dancing, soulful music and powerful vocals. Experience the music of Xani, who has been awarded 'Best Musician' at the Music Victoria Awards and whose sound and voice have won over fans at packed theatres, small steamy jazz venues, nightclubs, and even on Twitch, where she has thousands of followers.
'An Inaccurate History of Electronic Dance Music' is an acutely personal interpretation of the evolution of electronic dance music, and Xani, along with her musical collaborators and friends, will take you on a journey through its (inaccurate) history chapter by chapter. From the wide-eyed naive 'Michelle' to the euphoric fast tempos of 'B U Want 2 B', this album weaves through the blurring world of acid house, disco, psytrance, and more, with Xani's two self-produced tracks, 'Astrojet' and 'Road Trip'.
Don't miss this chance to experience the musical alchemy of Xani and friends, as they bring their unique sound to the stage. Let's dance together and wonder what the future of electronic dance music might sound like.
“May this collection of songs transport you, inspire you and fill your hearts with disco smiles. This is my inaccurate history of electronic dance music, dreamed up straight from my heart to yours.” - Xani
