Join us for the live music performances responding to the themes of the Tony Clark: Unsculpted exhibition.

For saxophonist Joseph Lallo, there is something integrally sonic about Tony Clark’s paintings. The work of Clark, a self-described ‘punk classicist’, features a recurring theme of freedom through – or despite – restriction. Even within the limited colour palette of Clark’s Myriorama paintings (light blue, light pink, raw sienna, and black), his art evokes a symphony of contradictions: familiar and edgy, wise and naive, stoic and flamboyant – a primal scream emerging from the confines of a corset.

TheTripwire concerts reflect and unravel this phenomenon through a range of composed and improvised music by the unique pairings of ARIA-nominated pianist and composer Nat Bartsch, oboist Briana Leaman, West-African percussionist and kora player Mohamed Camara, percussionist Anna Camara, and saxophonists Nicholas Russoniello and Joseph Lallo.
