Event Title: Improbable Returns
Participating Artists: Christopher Young & Elisa Markes-Young

Venue: Heathcote Museum & Gallery,
58 Duncraig Road, Applecross.

Description: Art making has always been critical to Elisa and Christopher's
well-being - in the search for their own understanding as well as attempting
to communicate and connect with others.

The bodies of work from both artists have their grounding in a search for
some form of 'origin story', looking intimately at utopian ideals and how
they contrast with reality.

As part of an installation in 'Improbable Returns', Christopher requests
that visitors to the opening night event bring a small bundle of newspapers
with them. These will be installed throughout the opening.

'Improbable Returns' opens on Friday, 4 March 2016 from 6pm. Join the

birthday, she still delights in the freedom of the brush stroke and the
adventure of discovering a new image each day. This exhibition is a true
celebration - not only of Smith's 100th Birthday but also of life and of
having the courage to unleash the creative power we all have within us - at
any age.

Event Title: Drill
Participating Artists: Ahilan Ratnamohan

Venue: PICA Performance Space,
Perth Cultural Centre, 51 James St, Northbridge.

Description: Three athletes meet in a late night, never-ending training
session. A strange form of non-competitive competition unfolds before the
audience. Sweaty machismo gets a poetic makeover as sprinting, jumping,
falling and accelerating merge in an indefinable training sequence.

Drill is an exploration of the choreographic potential of athletic movement
and training that revels in an exhausted euphoria.

Participating Artists: Nicola Gunn / SANS Hotel.

Venue: PICA Performance Space,
Perth Cultural Centre, 51 James St, Northbridge.

Description: Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster is the excruciating story
of a man, a woman and a duck. It dissects the excruciating realms of human
behavior in an attempt to navigate the moral and ethical complexities of
becoming a better person.

A woman sees a man throwing stones at a duck. Threaded between observations
and memories of this brief encounter with a stranger are philosophical
musings about peace and conflict, moral relativism, the ethics of
intervention and the very function of art..

Dates: 13 February 2016 to 19 February 2016.
Opening Times: 7.30pm.
