Awe Hunters
Large-scale floral art installation meets meditative soundscapes at Awe Hunters. Combining an impressive display of floral artistry with a sensitive sonic composition, Awe Hunters creates a space for stillness and contemplation in a world that has been flipped on its head. Come to breathe, rest and be still. You belong here.
Awe Hunters was supported by the South Australian Tourism Commission and extended its exhibition schedule in response to overwhelming demand.

Transcendence
Enter an abandoned warehouse where curiosity is rewarded. Choose your own adventure led by global disco edit king Late Nite Tuff Guy and Temple Magic Orchestra. Enter the red room where Carla Lippis warps your sense of reality, and follow The Bait Fridge crumbs as they take you for a ride into the crevices of their weird and wild imaginations. This is your playground of joyful abandon.
Held at the discreet and storied venue that was once home to Penfold's Grange, Transcendence was a one-time-only event attended by the lucky cohort fortunate enough to secure a ticket.
Disco Wonderland
Can you feel it? You’ve made it behind the velvet ropes of New York’s most exclusive nightclub renowned for its celebrity guest list and hypnotic atmosphere, Studio 54. You brush up against John Travolta as you enter the dance floor and see Mick Jagger having a drink at the bar with Andy Warhol. You’ve entered a world where anything is possible, and the night has only just begun.
Disco Wonderland has been presented by Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Brisbane Festival with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
Silver Rain
Projection design spreads across iconic architecture as art songs by Ricky Ian Gordon set to poems by some of America’s most iconic poets including Langston Hughes, Dorothy Parker and Emily Dickinson set the tone for this truly immersive, unforgettable open air recital. Amidst the urban and rural divide, nature's beauty intertwines with manmade constructs where we confronts the contrast between solitude and community. Silver Rain searches for the delicate balance between loneliness and connection and the meaning in the spaces inbetween.
Silver Rain is a large-scale, projection-mapped song cycle originally commissioned by White Night Festival performed to an audience of 15,000 at St Paul’s Cathedral.
27 Club
In the pages of the history books, a phenomenon exists - the 27 Club. It's a pact with the devil where your soul is the currency for the witchcraft of rock. Luminaries like Joplin, Winehouse, Cobain, Morrison, and Hendrix, all sealed their fate at 27. They were the voices of their generation.
A new chapter of the 27 Club is now unfolding as Aussie rock stars Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus), Kevin Mitchell (Jebediah and Bob Evans) are joined by Carla Lippis (Mondo Psycho), Dusty Lee Stephensen (The Wanderers) and Cam Blokland (The Superjesus).
The legacy lives on as 27 Club continues its nationwide tour across Australia.
