FRONT & BACK GALLERIES
LOUD, LIVE & LOVED
Iconic Melbourne music venues in miniature
by David Hourigan
CATALOGUE
In this series of works, I set out to celebrate some of our best-known and most-loved venues – those still with us and some we have lost – and to preserve a slice of Melbourne’s live music history. I want to capture musical memories into three-dimensional celebrations of Melbourne’s legendary live music scene so that the viewer doesn’t just see card, plaster, foam and plastic but experiences again hearing a particular song, seeing a favourite band, one particular night out. The sculptures are small but they stir big emotions.

SIDE GALLERY
CARTOON WORLD
by Arie Rain Glorie
Cartoon World is what happens when I follow a hunch—with a pencil, or a needle—and end up somewhere I didn’t expect. Each felted figure or automatic drawing starts as a private impulse. Meaning comes later, usually when something makes me chuckle to myself. That’s the moment I trust: the flicker of recognition in my neurodiverse brain. This show is a glimpse into that process. A world built from absurd logic, anxious gestures, and soft materials with strange desires. It’s not clean or consistent, but it’s mine. Welcome to my inner cartoon world.

UPSTAIRS GALLERY
THE MIXTAPE - VOL. 1
by Anne de Nooijer (Studio Frannie)
CATALOGUE
The Mixtape - Vol .1 is inspired by lyrics of songs that deeply resonate with me. In my debut solo exhibition, I want to celebrate the power and poetry found in song lyrics, with a focus on the work of non-binary and female artists. Poetic lines within songs often paint vivid images in my mind when I hear them and this exhibition is my translation of these emotions and memories into visual form, art reacting to art. By exclusively drawing from female or gender nonconforming artists, I aim to explore and express a connection that feels authentic and representational to my own personal experiences.
All of the artworks are created with hand dyed natural materials and reclaimed textiles.
