Great to see this article in the Ensign and music events coordinator Michaela's response. The Gallery Gigs have been such a success, have engaged many young musicians and music lovers and clearly have a growing following. Thanks to all involved, and to Michaela for inspiration, energy and follow through!

The film's premise is as follows... "In 1964, American writer James Lord is asked by his friend, the world-renowned Swiss artists Alberto Giacometti, to sit for a portrait." The film stars Geoffrey Rush as Giacometti and Armie Hammer as James Lord. Session times @ BPACC: Thurs 16th Nov @ 1:30pm Fri 17th Nov @ 10:30am & 1:30pm Sat 18th Nov @ 4:30pm Sun 19th Nov @ 4:30pm Tues 21 Nov @ 10:30am & 7:30pm Fri 24th Nov @ 1:30pm Tues 28th Nov @ 1:30pm Tickets Prices are: Adult - $15 Concession - $13 Child - $11 Tuesdays - $11 Family Ticket - $45 Consider putting a group of 10 together to purchase a book of 10 Movie Money tickets for $95, that would mean each person in that group only has to pay $9.50 for their ticket. "This is going to be a sensational film, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Geoffrey Rush ends up in Oscars contention for his performance, it's got that sort of feel about it." Jake Bowtell, Killer Pig Productions.  Still Life with Crash – 2012 Oil on Linen Frank Burgers ‘Still Life with Crash’ is one of my favourite paintings from this period. It is a nostalgic reminiscing of relationships and the general chaos of life. It is about loose associations created between objects and things that one would not expect to make connections. It is Modernist at its roots, playing with line, colour and the physical manipulation of oil paint. It is entirely autobiographical, a neurotic navel gazing much like the rest of the contemporary art world. (Except for the stuff that is entirely political – or making some sort of statement devoid of ego). Autobiographical in the sense that Images are sourced from the sub-conscious, random images and ideas until the painting achieves its own kind of logic. Metaphor, I love metaphor and the potential for stories that a calculated mismatch of images conjures up. Meaning lies in the baggage that every viewer brings to the picture. I just set the scene…. Frank Burgers, 2017 Ps: I will consider parting with this painting if I felt confident it went to a good, caring home. It would also take a considerate sum to consolidate my loss. It truly is one of a kind. It is a painting of original conception uniquely resolved, without the repeated application of formulae. It is hand crafted. Its price, on application, is less than a top of the range flat screen TV, but reflects the cost of materials, the cost of production including studio rent and professional fees paid, gallery commissions, previous sales records and career achievements, tax, longevity, and value added due to the unique nature of this product. Considering the above, offers can be left in writing, on the couch in my upstairs studio. Please include contact details and phone number.  As part of The Benalla Festival, North East Artisans are ending The Gallery Gigs for 2017 with a bang!
