The launch of Dream Burnie in Hobart will involve not one, but two events at Moonah Arts Centre! From 4pm – 6:30pm enjoy a relaxed afternoon, with music and a pop-up art exhibition in the foyer of Moonah Arts Centre. There will be live book readings by Justin and an opportunity to purchase copies of the book. Plus a guest appearance from one or two of the showcased artists.
From 7pm, there will be a special concert featuring Justin (The Bedroom Philosopher), performing a one-off set of some of the first songs he ever wrote when he was eighteen. This includes the anthemic, iconic ‘Smells Like Hellyer Spirit’ which hasn’t been performed in public since 1998. Also ‘Vee-Dub’ about his mum’s 1972 Volkswagen Superbeetle.
Justin will be followed by Marist College’s own, Twinkle Digitz – a retro futuristic one-man band and sonic gymnast onstage, trapezing between pulsating synths, slinky guitars, LARGE beats and spicy vocals.
Book launch from 4-6.30pm: FREE
Tickets for the 7pm concert: $10
ABOUT THE BOOK
Over 300 colour pages featuring stories of some of the North-West Coast of Tasmania's most successful artists. A nostalgic bus-trip of humorous dalliances on life in a small town.
An art book, time capsule, memoir.
It’s niche. It’s now. It’s 1995.
“A book about dreaming big (or sideways, inside out, upside-down) in small places and understanding that it is unassuming towns like Burnie that can make the most wonderful, out-there artists in the country."
Anna Krien
This event is presented by the Burnie Arts Council & Moonah Arts Centre. Dream Burnie is assisted by the Burnie City Council and Arts Tasmania.
