Venue:
Heathcote Museum & Gallery
Heathcote Cultural Centre, Swan House, Duncraig Road, Applecross
Description: The City of Melville's Heathcote Museum and Gallery will soon be hosting a dynamic collaborative exhibition by South Fremantle artists Dawn Gamblen and Minaxi May. The exhibition, Plasticity, will show the outcome of their artist-in-residence at the Fremantle Arts Centre since December 2009.
Plasticity will be open from Saturday, 24 July to Sunday, 29 August 2010. Plasticity captures the essence of plastic as a vibrantly colourful material that conveys notions of the artificial and inorganic whilst also being undeniably flexible in its use and purpose. Centering on ideas around collecting, artful display, consumerism, process and the experiential nature of art, the artists create sculptural site-specific arrangements using easily identifiable, yet banal, purposeful ready-mades‚ (everyday found and collected objects) in the form of synthetic materials including straws, cups and spray can lids.
Start Date: 24 July 2010
End Date: 29 August 2010
Opening Times: Tues-Fri, 10-3pm; Sat-Sun 11-3pm
