Malleefowl 8: Sally Ann McIntyre (Naarm) & Andrew Sutherland
November 13, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$10 – $20
Come on Monday, November 13, 6pm for performances by poet Andrew Sutherland and sound artist Sally Ann McIntyre.
Andrew Sutherland is a Queer Poz (PLHIV) writer, poet and theatre-maker in Boorloo making some of the most challenging and intruiging work in town (in this author’s opinion). His work moves between confronting experimentalism and pop culture affection deftly, sometimes even managing to make one seem like the other. He will read some of his amazing poems.
Sally Ann McIntyre visits from Naarm to play at the Fremantle Biennale on November 9. Here she’s offering something better suited to a small space and close listening attention, rather than the windy outdoor festival location. Her work speaks volumes about extinction, loss and absence using sampled documentary audio, radio silence, dead air, static and interference.
As always there will be dinner to share. It will probably be something needlessly elaborate. It will be vegetarian and will accommodate everyone’s dietary needs. Best to BYO drinks.
Please RSVP to unhearable.chords@gmail.com for the address, and tell Josten any dietary or access needs/concerns you may have. Plus-ones, kids, plus-one’s-plus-ones etc. are welcome.
Entry by donation, any amount (suggested $20).
NB: Malleefowl cannot accommodate dinner for RSVPs made after midnight November 9 as I do the shopping on the 10th. Additionally, if you are intending to come but not to stay for dinner, please communicate this. Thanks.
Accessibility: Regrettably the Meltham Cultural Precinct is a very inaccessible venue for wheelchair users. Entry is either via three flights of stairs (the front door), a very steep driveway to the right of the house followed by a single step to enter the house, or a single flight of steps followed by a single step to enter the house on the right side. The bathroom is not wheelchair accessible (the entranceway is narrow, and around a bend). Happy to assist with access if needed but the bathroom situation sucks. Otherwise: the vibe will be pretty relaxed, you can check out in the garden if you need to take a break, there’s multiple seating options, the music will be relatively quiet (acoustic, unamplified), there are usually quite a lot of people in a relatively small space.
