Cone of Confusion is hitting the stage on November 5 at Freda's bar- Chippendale. There will be 2 separate performances with 2 different support acts.There are strictly 50 seated tickets for each show to allow for social distancing.Session 1: 7-9pm with support by BorokySession 2: 9:30-11:30pm with support by jetrioAbout Cone of ConfusionCone of Confusion is a Sydney-based group of musicians from different cultural and musical backgrounds. Gathering knowledge from personal experience and individual influences- this project blends musical curiosity through improvisation.Last year- this project culminated in a debut album (released September 2019) and a sold-out show at Venue 505. Experimental- creative- and theatrical- this music takes prog and jazz rock to another level.'Listen with deep awareness- the system has turned irreversibly corrupt. Not knowing where it is leading us to- the inevitable emancipation has begun.'Lillian Hearne: clarinet- sax- vocalsRemi Marchand: guitarJay Woo: electric double-bassJuan Carlos Negrete Lopez: drumsBoroky (Art Pop)Three years old- Boroky potters around the shallows of the collective unconscious collecting smooth stones and shells. Boroky dances with giants (which is quite messy)- battles dragons (don't we all)- and has cool mermaid friends who make Boroky a bit bashful. Some people think Boroky is getting too big to drink out of a bottle with a teat.JetrioJetrio was birthed from a communal disdain- for each member hated each other's voices. Sean hated Alex's voice- who hated Blain's voice- so the vicious cycle went. With the aid of musical instruments- they were able to eschew conversation altogether and instead make 'musics' of an 'acceptable variety'.

Vermilion Art is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition by acclaimed Chinese artist- Li Jin.To Live [It Up] has been curated by leading art critic- John McDonald- a long-term admirer of his work.From 2001-2013 Li Jin's brush-and-ink paintings were exhibited in Sydney- with great success- by the late Ray Hughes. Over the past decade Li Jin has become a global favourite- exhibiting extensively in museums and private galleries in China- Europe and the United States- where his work has been acquired by institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art- New York and the Boston Museum of Fine ArtsChinese ink painting may conjure up thoughts of serene- landscapes- flowers and birds- but Li Jin takes a very different approach. Although he is steeped in tradition- and master of many techniques- his pictures are bold- whimsical and sensual - hedonistic celebrations of the pleasures of food- drink and sex - seen through a frame of self-deprecating humour.To Live [It Up]features 38 works- including a suite of 20 small- idiosyncratic coloured ink paintings- eight ink sketches incorporating his distinctive calligraphy- two painted fans- five semi-abstract ink pieces- two large- scale works on paper and one magnificent scroll painting.According to John McDonald- To Live [It Up] has a message that relates to both China's recent history and the COVID-19 outbreak: 'Having come through the hard times- we should make the most of the good times.' Or as Li Jin himself puts it: 'My appetite for life and my desire to express myself have not been diminished by the pandemic. The uncertainties have been a good test for me to keep faith in art and life.' We are COVID Safe business. For enquiries please contact us at info@vermilionart.com.au
