Various Artists @ Perth Galleries

Event Title: The Window and the Door.
Participating Artists: Jeremy Kirwan Ward, Lesley Munro, Giles Hohnen, Angela Mc Harrie, Penny Coss, Carol Wells, Robert Dorizzi, Judy Rogers and Eveline Kotai.

Venue:
Perth Galleries,
92 Stirling Highway, North Fremantle.

Description: Where a window 'frames', a door beckons you to enter, this exhibition offers new ways of experiencing the creative process - both for the viewer and for the artist.

Nine artists have been invited to produce work outside their normal practice. They're mostly painters or mixed media artists who work in 2 dimensions, and in this rare exhibition at Perth Galleries, they have leapt from the flat plane into the third dimension with surprising results.

They've created an exciting array of assemblages that echo and parallel their usual practice in a variety of unexpected approaches - from drawings in space, to harnessed brushstrokes, to construction pieces made from unorthodox materials, these pieces will no doubt stimulate the senses and awaken the mind's eye.

Dates: 11 Feb 2011 to 5 March 2011.
Opening Times: Open Tues-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 11am-5pm, Sun 2pm-5pm.

Nathan Stevens @ Gallery Central

Event Title: What is Displace?
Participating Artists: Nathan Stevens.

Venue:
Gallery Central,
12 Aberdeen Street Northbridge 6000.

Description: Transforming the gallery into his own deserted island, North American nomad Nathan Stevens leaves you stranded in this landscape of found and lost discoveries. Influenced by ideas of cartography and communication breakdown, surveying and self-surveillance, this moving series of installations unpacks processes of personal displacement and dislocation through interactive broadcasts from a shipwrecked radio station; endless conversations with an auto-poetic artificial intelligence; a model for multi-dimensional travel to the Bermuda Triangle; and a body of unidentifiable glass objects.

Closing Reception Thurs. 10 Feb 6-8pm. All welcome!.

Dates: 27 January 2011 to 12 February 2011.
Opening Times: Mon-Fri, 10-4.45pm; Sat 12 Feb. 10-4.45pm.
