Showcase Gallery
12 Aberdeen Street, Perth

Description:
A Solo Exhibition by P. James Bryans
Do you remember your childhood?
Do you remember what you saw?
Do you remember the feeling? The wonder, the innocence?
Do you remember everything or just the important bits?

For P. James Bryans it was a childhood full of daydreams, farm life and wonder of the bushland down the back block, the thousands of colours in a single blade of grass... the universe.

Growing up on an idyllic farmlet he spent his days (after the animals had been fed) wandering through the bush and giving his imagination free reign.

Now, as an adult, he aims to capture the fleeting moments that we treasure, imperfect and incomplete, but which we hold precious and which make us who we are.

Start Date: 15 July 2010
End Date: 31 July 2010
Opening Times: Wed-Fri, 12-6pm; Sat 2-4.45

Catherine Gomersall @ Breathing Space, Library, Edith Cowan University

Event Title: Body Bags: "I am a Trash Bag"
Participating Artists: Catherine Gomersall

Venue:
Breathing Space, Library, Edith Cowan University
2 Bradford St, Mt Lawley

Description: This exhibition of conceptual photographic works explore the "trash bag" as a metaphor for a particular category of emotion: "bad" ones. Emotion itself has largely been treated as bad, as trash, in Western philosophical tradition - emotion has been situated as opposite and inferior to thought: affect versus cognition, passion versus reason, feeling versus thinking. The word trash has been inherited from American popular culture into popular contemporary urban Australian language to mean something other than rubbish, garbage or litter. We speak of feeling like trash. Trash and emotion share a sense of naturalness. A large part of the Western philosophical discourse regards emotion as natural: as wild forces beyond our control. Trash's etymological traces hark back to nature. For example, "trasch" in Middle English were fallen leaves and twigs. Yet, in the contemporary use of the word literal trash has come to signify the objects of consumer culture - discarded wrappers, plastic bottles, unwanted belongings. In the body bags the jumbo sized black rubbish bag embodies its badness and dread.

Start Date: 28 July 2010
End Date: 20 August 2010
Opening Times: Opening Night Wednesday 28 July 2010 @ 6pm
