"Mali’- the reflection/my spirit is as groundbreaking as you would expect from the progenitor of the Found movement which was launched at Annandale Galleries in 2013.
This is his first exhibition which is completely from metal. Mali’ is a Yolŋu word which means shadow, reflection, soul, spirit, ghost. The title plays on the reflectivity of the etched and polished material which itself reflects his gentle but indomitable spirit. As well as being held in the collections of all major Australian institutions his work is included in many international settings including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York."

Threshold to the Kingdom
Exhibition dates: 13 September – 14 October 2023
Threshold to the Kingdom, 2000
projected video installation, 11’10” (still)
Annandale is proud to be showing Wallinger's iconic video work, shown in 2001 when the artist represented Britain in the Venice Biennale.
An eleven-minute, ten second video, Threshold to the Kingdom was shot from a fixed camera set up (surreptitiously and without permission) opposite the customs hall at London City Airport. The unchanging view is of the airport’s international arrivals doors opening and closing. The opaque electric threshold reveals passengers and crew members as they move in slow motion from the secure area into the public lounge. Figures are approximately life size and move through the scene to the music of Miserere, a haunting seventeenth-century rendition of the Bible’s fifty-first psalm by the Italian composer Gregorio Allegri.
MARK WALLINGER (born 1959, lives and works in London)is one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists. Having previously been nominated for the Turner Prize in 1995, he won in 2007 for his installation State Britain. His work Ecce Homo (1999–2000) was the first piece to occupy the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square. He represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2001. Labyrinth (2013), a major and permanent commission for Art on the Underground, was created to celebrate 150 years of the London Underground. In 2018, the permanent work Writ in Water was realised for the National Trust to celebrate Magna Carta at Runnymede, and The World Turned Upside Down was unveiled in 2019 for the London School of Economics. Threshold to the Kingdom is in the collections of The Tate Gallery, London and The Museum of Modern Art, NYC, USA.

Beth Hatton and Anna Couani share their memoirs of celebrated local Antigone Kefala.
Beth Hatton and Anna Couani, who have known Antigone as a friend and colleague for over 40 years, will share their memories of her. Leichhardt poet Pip Griffin will read a poem she wrote after visiting Antigone. There will also be a virtual tour of Antigone’s home, filmed by Harry Buchanan.
Antigone Kefala
Born in Romania to Greek parents, Kefala and her family fled after Soviet Occupation, first to Greece and on to New Zealand. Already literate in Romanian, French and Greek, Kefala then set about learning English, in which language she wrote from then on. After moving to Australia, in 1960 Kefala bought her house in Annandale, and this is where she wrote all her books - five poetry collections, three novels, two children’s books and three collections of ‘journals’. Recently Kefala achieved national honours, with the Judith Wright Calanthe Poetry Award in 2017 and the Patrick White Literary Award in 2022. She is the subject of two scholarly books as well as a conference held at the University of NSW.
Beth Hatton
Beth is a fibre artist who has exhibited across Australia and overseas for more than 40 years. Her work is represented in numerous public collections including State galleries and the National Gallery of Australia.
Pip Griffin
is a Sydney poet. Her latest books are Opus: a life with music (Ginninderra Press, 2023) and Virginia & Katherine: The Secret Diaries (Winner, The Society of Women Writers NSW Book Award 2022 – Poetry).
Anna Couani
is a Sydney writer and artist who runs The Shop Gallery in Glebe with her husband, sculptor Hilik Mirankar. She has published six books of poetry and prose, most recently, a collection called local that is largely about Glebe. Anna will talk about their literary and artistic connections over that period, and read some of Antigone’s poems. She has put a poem by Antigone to music and will play a recording of this which she has posted on the internet at annacouani1.bandcamp.com

Fiona Currey-Billyard makes her official debut at Annandale Galleries with DARK CROSSINGS. Channelling nature and personal memory, she takes the viewer on an intimate journey through abstracted oceans of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Currey-Billyard uses various carbons, paints and shellacs to produce nuanced surfaces and evocative textures, often on stretched linen of a monumental scale. Simultaneously, they are embedded with nails and staples that act as markings for both ocean currents and layered memories of her past, particularly those shared with her father. The punctured surfaces act as a way to communicate the kindness and cruelty of time on the body and our recollections. This unique act of mapping anchors itself to specific moments, people and places, but contains a comforting universality that arrests you, draws you in, enveloped by an indescribable force.

The old bins were emptied and turned upside down, for collection and substitution with a yellow lidded bin.
PCQ : Artistic Director & violin I, Dan Russell. Violin II, Pip Thompson. Viola, Ella Brinch. Cello, Andrew Wilson. Launched by Charmian Gadd at the Crossroads Festival, The Phoenix Collective Quartet is
a premier string quartet performing concerts in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, the Central
Coast and regional NSW. Its members come from the ranks of national and international
orchestras such as Opera Australia Orchestra, Canberra Symphony, Sydney Symphony,
BBC Philharmonic, Kammer Philharmonie Köln, Boston Symphony, and Academy of St
Martin in the Fields.
Sat 5 Aug 7pm PC #3 Phoenix Collective: The Art Music of Joe HisaishiPCQ features the music of Japanese anime legend, Joe Hisaishi, award-winning composer of soundtracks to some of the best-loved Studio Ghibli films. Films such as Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle captured the imaginations of film audiences both young and old, and Hisaishi’s evocative music is an integral part of the charm and character. In this concert, we will feature the Australian premiere of a string quartet by Hisaishi, alongside themes from some of the best-known Studio Ghibli movies.
In this varied program, PCQ pays tribute to the notion of arcadian England through the work of Ralph Vaughan Williams, perhaps the finest exponent of the English pastoral style. The sweeping melodies of Vaughan Williams’s String Quartet no 1 are complimented by one of the best-known works of the titan of string quartet writing, Ludwig van Beethoven. The world premiere of a PCQ commission from rising star Emma Greenhill completes the program.

HIGH TIMES: Original rock and roll posters from the 1960s
Bringing together private collection works from across the country, High Times contains rare and sought after concert posters from the era of promoters Bill Graham and Family Dog, with the iconic psychedelic imagery of Stanely Mouse, Alton Kelley, Rick Griffin, Wes Wilson and Lee Conklin. These are joined by work by Martin Sharp and touring posters of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Sex Pistols which are now synonymous with the era.
Beyond sex drugs and rock and roll, these symbols of grassroots, democratized production and free expression are representative of a significant shift in American culture. The lasting impression is one of a country fighting for civil liberties, the end of the Vietnam war, ultimately resulting in a loss of innocence. The ideals expressed in these images marked the beginning or a more self-aware America and where power was being placed on individual and group action - something that is sobering when thinking about today’s reliance on digital media and armchair activism.
Exhibition 21 June – 22 July
Kieran Butler’s debut at Annandale Galleries takes the form of a heartening celebration, tempered with earnest revelations and messages that inspires quiet contemplation.
Kieran’s practice spans across fashion, design, performance, photography, text and textiles, examining intersections of photography, environmentalism and patchwork techniques within an ace-enby-trans framework.
Their work reflects on themes of queer identity and familial histories, accompanied by experiences of intimacy, vulnerability, self-awareness, love, desire and grief. Kieran contributes to the growing literature and visual history on ace-enby-trans lived experiences - resources that were not readily accessible to them as a young person.
Exhibition 21 June – 22 July
A sky is a personal space, more than atmosphere. It can be idyllic, ominous or diasporic - a memory or an objective in the distance. The sky is where we look when answers are few and far in every other direction.

Council seeks your feedback on the proposed site-specific amendment to the Leichhardt Development Control (DCP) 2013 for 122-130 Pyrmont Bridge Road and 206 Parramatta Road, Annandale.
Monday 22 May 2023 Submissions open
Wednesday 21 Jun 2023 Submissions close
Background
On 5 May 2023, the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) finalised an amendment to the Inner West Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2022 for the above site.
The new LEP planning controls will facilitate a health services facility on the site, now zoned B5 Business Development Zone with an FSR of 4:1 and a maximum height limit of 35m (equivalent to 8 storeys). The site-specific LEP provisions require that a DCP be prepared which provides detailed guidance for the redevelopment of the site.
At its meeting on 14 March 2023 (C0323(1) Item 4), Council endorsed to place the draft site-specific DCP amendment on public exhibition.
Key features of the site-specific DCP amendment
The draft DCP amendment provides more detailed guidelines for the site to support the LEP controls. Key components of this draft DCP include:
These draft provisions will be included as an amendment to Part G of the Leichhardt DCP 2013. This draft DCP amendment has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Assessment Regulation 2021.
About the site-specific LEP provisions
The site was subject of a rezoning review. Consequently, the site-specific LEP provisions were prepared and finalised by the DPE (refer to the project history in the FAQs). Site-specific LEP provisions resulted in the following changes:

Ben-David’s first solo at Annandale since 2016 features sculptures, drawings and videos, centred on themes of tragedy and hope, shining a light on the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Seventy-two page catalogue available on request.
"For Ben-David, it’s important that a work projects an initial sense of wonder. Our first feelings when we stand in front of a large installation, are ones of astonishment. The next sensation is pure delight, but this paradise is quickly lost, or at least thrown into question." —John McDonald for Natural Reserve exhibition catalogue

Tibetan Folk in Annandale
In the first tour of 2023, the Phoenix Collective Quartet will showcase the talents of Tibetan superstar, Tenzin Choegyal.
Building on a relationship formed at the 2022 National Folk Festival, this year’s collaboration will feature new material from the Tibetan vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Choegyal, who has previously collaborated with composer Philip Glass and avant-garde multi-media artist Laurie Anderson, draws on his nomadic roots to create a musical style that is all his own.
