Surrealists Demetrios Vakras and Lee-Anne Raymond will be exhibiting their recent surrealist visions.
Within the historic and industrial interiors of Guildford Lane Gallery it is primarily the intention of the presentation to provide an alternative understanding of Surrealism, one that is outside the historical constraint, which sees the Second World War as the terminus of the movement.
The timing is to take advantage of the opening of an exhibition in Melbourne’s NGV in June 2009 showcasing works by Salvador Dalí. This represents a not to be missed opportunity for these local Surrealists to present their work and attract attention for their art.
The presentation overall will provide lovers and newly attracted enthusiasts of the Surreal and Fantastic with an outstanding and alternative viewing experience to what are generally mainstream and historic representations. It will be an unapologetic display of the surreal, the fantastic and symbolic with accompanying catalogue – manifesto.

Entry by Donation
As choreographers we approach the making and performing of dance from a holistic position. Through processes that acknowledge and stimulate the inherent intelligence of the human body and mind, the performer is rendered unequivocally visible. We believe that by embodying an attitude of pliability in the context of live performance, there exists the potential for far greater fullness in the experiences of both the performer and audience. In this fullness conceptions of dance are challenged, creating a provocative and unbounded environment.
Kate Stanley and Fiona Bryant have been collaborating choreographically together since 2007. Their first combined performance Wild was created at Dancehouse, supported through the ‘Summer Space grant’ and was later developed into Max Grr through a collaboration with English Architect Ben Edwards as part of ‘Pop Ups!’, in the ‘International Design Festival’. In October 2008, Fiona and Kate created Max, performed at ‘The Age Melbourne Fringe Festival’, receiving the Best Dance Award and currently nominated for an Australian Dance Award 2009.

The Wednesday Project is proud to present the second show of AfterWhite,next Wednesday June 17 from 6pm.
The Afterwhite project began at the end of winter 2008 when Sam Haycroft (Sydonia, I Am Duck Eye) and Julian Medor thought to combine painting and music in the one performance.
They began by throwing some riffs around and jamming some minimal structures and decided to involve the painting in a improvised manner. With a fence painting brush taped to the end of Julian’s guitar and Sam's percussion kit in arms reach of paint and canvas, Afterwhite began.

"avant garde art rock painters"
"an innovative way of layering music and painting into one entity"
"julian has a guitar attached to his paintbrush, and sam a percussion set to his."
"each performance garners a new energy attached to whatever colour is being jammed"

Great Wall of Books
A unique documentary featuring the installation and performance work of Melbourne based WELL Theatre.
WELL is a contemporary art performance incubator and since 1999 have been dancing like cranes, resisting gravity, teetering on the brink of reality and stitching back together the fragmented carcass of contemporary existence. Siphoning from the well of diverse knowledge and imaginings WELL people bend the traditional rules of engagement with art to invent new possibilities for meaning, creative expression and sensed experience.
Conceived and Artistically Directed by Dario VaCirca, Meka Audet and Alex ben Mayor the Great Wall of Books is both a performance and an interactive sculptural installation.
Co-produced by CAM, the unique documentary is edited by Alix Jackson.
