Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi (The Avalanches) turn their gaze to the visual art world to bring us an exhibition showcasing the works that influenced the pair's most recent Australian Music Prize-winning album We Will Always Love You. Featuring works by Jonathan Zawada and The Experience Machine, the exhibition will offer audiences a rare insight into the album’s cosmic and meditative visual language.
Luminary Artists in Residence, Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi, left an indelible mark on the music world with their 2000 debut Since I Left You, taking the art of sampling to rarefied heights and storming the airwaves with unexpected earworms like Frontier Psychiatrist. They followed up this success with masterpieces including Wildflower (2016) and We Will Always Love You (2020) and are now heading to Adelaide this winter with five exciting events. See the Illuminate Adelaide website for other events presented in this series.
In May 2022, Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi will be in conversation with Australian radio legend, Zan Rowe (triple j, Double J) along with artist Jonathan Zawada for a special panel unpacking the band’s past, present and future. More Information
