WA/CA

Free Range Gallery 339 Wellington St

Two lomographers, in different west coast cities, communicate with one another by taking a photograph at the same time of day to illustrate what they are doing or seeing at that moment. As one shoots in Western Australia and the other in California ideas of isolation, confusion, excitement and sometimes heartbreak
come through, showing how these artists use visual mechanisms to cope whilst also feeling connected to someone else even for just a second.

The photographs will be shot on medium format film using the Diana, Holga and Seagull cameras. A total of 10 diptychs will be presented for the show.

WA/CA is the third ‘Lomographers of Perth’ exhibition to be staged, following on from FotoLomo in 2008 and Super Super Sampler in 2009.

WA/CA is proudly presented by Onetrickpony as part of the FotoFreo Fringe Festival.

Please join us for opening drinks on Wednesday 14th April from 6-8pm

PICA

Hatched 2010: National Graduate Show
17 April - 13 June 2010
All Galleries
Hatched is Australia's most significant survey of emerging artists.

Heading into its 19th year, this landmark exhibition continues to provide an unparalleled opportunity for talented art school graduates to present their work in a professional gallery context alongside that of their national peers. It offers an all-important stepping-stone from the realm of education to the beginnings of a professional career as an artist.

This year 39 artists from 20 art schools across the country were selected to grace the vast galleries of PICA. Bear witness to these contemporary pioneers as they head into new artistic territory with their extreme mix of expanded drawing and painting practices, soft architecture and aural environments - amongst other eye, mind and ear-bending aesthetic experiments!

Hatched expands further in 2010 with the launch of the Doctor Harold Schenberg Art Prize, an annual award of $20,000 that will be presented to one Hatched artist each year. The Prize has been set up to allow an outstanding art school graduate to invest in the development of their practice through travel, research or production support.

Ghostdrums EP launch

Bar 459

 Kick off your Anzac Day long weekend with Ghostdrums (aka Pete Guazzelli) in a rockin' launch with special guests Lil Leonie Lionheart vs Rabbit Island and Chris Cobilis!

Love Is My Velocity is proud to introduce Ghostdrums as he launches a limited edition USB release at Bar 459 at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday April 23 from 8pm.

As an eight year old learning to play the drums, Pete Guazzelli came up with an inventive way to make sure his family didn’t disown him. By draping a big white sheet (complete with eyeholes) over the top of his kit, he muffled the noise and created Ghostdrums.

After a fruitful period drumming in local bands like Fall Electric, The Kids and Gata Negra, Pete has revisited the Ghostdrums set up by building a unique machine from parts lying around the house. Combining a gold-sparkle drum kit with pedals, synths, loopers and the junk-percussion that’s been clogging up the spare room, Ghostdrums is this long-time Perth-based musician’s new solo project.

Keeping things spooky, Ghostdrums has joined forces with Melbourne artist Ghost Patrol to produce an interactive 4-track USB release that contains a bonus video for title track ‘Morning Sun’.

Ghostdrums’ experimental electronica combines intricate production with a lo-fi acoustic sound that’s as innocent and whimsical as his performance set-up.

ALSO PLAYING!
Rabbit Island vs Lil Leonie Lionheart
Chris Cobilis

The Swimming Club By Hannie Rayson

Presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company and Melbourne Theatre Company

Starring John Waters
Cast includes Caroline Gillmer, Megan Holloway and Igor Sas
Directed by Kate Cherry

World Premiere!

Six young people from around the world, including two UWA students, spend one glorious summer together on a Greek island in 1983. They are beautiful, adventurous, idealistic and believe that the world is theirs for the taking.

Fast-forward to 2009: These footloose and fancy-free types have turned into successful and driven people who are juggling careers, families and mortgages and are grappling with middle age. Each in their own way, they feel trapped by their life choices and are baffled by their children’s youth culture in the new millennium. Will a reunion on their magical Greek island be able to rekindle their spiritual fire?

The stellar cast include respected Perth-based performer Brendan Ewing (Red Shoes, Antigone) alongside Fran Middleton (The Bearskinner), Gita Bezard (The Bearskinner) and Alissa Calessens (The Bearskinner). Directed by Kathryn Osborne (The Bearskinner, The Swallow-Tailed Coat, Oscar).
