Surrealism Up Late: Parades
It’ll be your only chance to catch Parades before they go into hiding again, plus it’ll be your only chance ever to catch them while watching Un Chien Andalou or ogling a Man Ray piece at the same time. Ah, GoMA.
Overview
I don’t know if it’s biased for me to say this, but I think Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art is the best art gallery in Australia. Since moving here three years ago, I’ve walked through those doors countless times and every single time I am in awe of the immense detail and work put into each exhibition and the interactivity it allows between the patrons and the art. The Surrealism exhibition is no different, but the thing I am looking forward to the most is when Surrealism Up Late begins. Showcasing artists on a local and national scale, the Up Late program provides a unique Friday night experience, fusing music and art.
First up on the Up Late program is Sydney’s Parades. The four-piece (including Jonathan Boulet on drums) have been lying low recently, working on material to follow their Water Stories EP, but are taking a break for this one-off show. It’ll be your only chance to catch Parades before they go into hiding again, plus it’ll be your only chance ever to catch them while watching Un Chien Andalou or ogling a Man Ray piece at the same time. Ah, GoMA. Nothing else compares.
