A message from Mandurah...

"Let's get passionate about a silent, patient, unique and quite extraordinarily beautiful space in Mandurah that was recently recognised by one of the world's foremost landscape writers as the most spectacular place he has ever visited.

About the fact that one of its natural features* created the very first oxygen molecules on earth – without which you and I would not be here today.
About its aboriginal mythology – created by the female waughal whilst her male counterpart created the Swan River.
About its threatened ecology* – recently listed as 'critically endangered' by the Federal Minister for the Environment – a wake-up call if ever there was one.

Join artists, environmental groups, colleagues, musicians and local residents and get passionate about Lake Clifton at the:

Lake Clifton Festival
Sunday 18 April
from 10 am

In the grounds of Cape Bouvard Wines – via Lakeside Parkway or Clifton Downs Road.

Bring the family, bring the picnic basket, buy a bottle of vino/lunch and enjoy the music, art, walks and surrounds…

*thrombolites – very rare and now endangered."

Cyrus Cornut @ Wolfe Lane

Event Title: FotoFreo 2010 Fringe Festival Exhibition - Cities are Like Oceans
Participating Artists: Cyrus Cornut

Venue:
Wolfe Lane
Wolf Lane, Perth rear 321 Murray Street

Description: Cities are Like Oceans shows the place of human beings in cities that are increasingly chaotic, and where modernity, dictated by the rule of economics tends to irrevocably take over traditions that have been established over time. Man as a social being no longer has a place here. Human scale has been reduced to nothing. Man, with an individualistic future is lost like a drop in the urban ocean. Cyrus Cornut finds the poetry of fatalism in these cities by putting the human scale into the eternal urban palimpsest, guided by this feeling that links the individual to everything else. The light is that of dawn or dusk, of neon or storms, to dramatise the seemingly unavoidable evolution. Sublime the urban, put enchantment back into reality.

Start Date: 02 March 2010
End Date: 13 April 2010
Opening Times: Mon-Thu 4pm - late, Fri-Sun 2pm-late

For more information, contact: 0435 429 643

Spectrum - Preview of Fittings and Fixtures of Distinction

Event Title: Fittings and Fixtures of Distinction

Description:
Perth was voted in 2009 by the "Economist" as the fifth most liveable city in the world, but for whom?

Artists Nicola Kaye and Stephen Terry's work deals with what they consider to be a general apathy and disinterest in broader social issues within contemporary Australian society. Kaye and Terry's digital projections, installations and interactive exhibits focus on social inequalities in an attempt to navigate the complex interconnectedness of governments, economics and identity.

By layering and juxtaposing imagery such as public toilets with supposedly "high art" references such as theatre performers to hint at the unseen and unheard.

Fittings and Fixtures of Distinction, a series of night projections, in the Spectrum Project Space windows juxtapose images of decoration and necessity. The work is positioned outside of the gallery context, so the only view the audience are afforded is voyeuristic, expanding on Kaye and Terry's work which deals with public and private spaces.

This show is a continuation of ideas developed in recent works and presentations in London at the University of Westminster (2009), at the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Singapore (2008), in Guangzhou at Sun Yat-Sen University (2007) and as part of the Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (2007).

Running from from 8:00pm to 10:00pm
* Thursday the 4th March, Friday 5th March and last screening on Saturday 6th March
* Shopfront @ Central, Beaufort Street, Northbridge (on the Beaufort Street side of Central TAFE gallery)
