:::Current Exhibition::: Friday 25 July – 10 August. Perth Centre for Photography is proud to be exhibiting works from two Western Australian photographers, Sue-Lyn Moyle and Caitlin Harrison, from 25 July to 10 August, 2008. The exhibitions will be opened by world-renowned photographer, Max Pam, at 6pm, Thursday 24 July, 2008. ________________________________________________________________________________________ In Transition by Sue-Lyn Moyle, is curated by Walkey Award-winning photojournalist, David Dare Parker, and explores the identity of youth living in post-colonial Hong Kong, ten years after its return to China. At first, the bustling, brightly coloured streetscapes of Hong Kong with its iconic scenes of Victoria Harbour, vintage rickshaws and rush hour of the CBD offer a postcard cliché of life in the big city. The journey then continues through Hong Kong’s backstreets and dense high-rise buildings uncovering images and voices from those who dare to speak out about their re-established country and identity. Whether muted or shouted, their opinions depicted in handwritten statements reflect a group still coming to terms with conflicting views on the Mainland while they continue to define themselves as individuals. In Transition will be on display in gallery one and more information can be found at www.suelynmoyle.com(.) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Isolated Rules by Caitlin Harrison documents the youth culture that exists in rural Western Australia, depicting rules that are often disregarded and would otherwise be closely governed in other populated areas. Avoiding the typical landscape images of outback Australia, Harrison has focused on the harsher reality of growing up in isolation. From empty interiors to the B&S ball, the series has an air of humour underpinned by violence. Caitlin Harrison has exhibited work from this series in Sydney, Lithuania, Berlin, Fremantle and Perth, with the series published in the contemporary photography book, Hijacked: Volume One, Australia and America. She is currently completing an honours degree in photomedia at Edith Cowan University. Isolated Rules will be on display in gallery two and more information can be found at www.caitlinharrison.com :::Coming up at PCP:::
Morika Biljabu: Ngayunpala Kujungke (we are one) "... how they all lived in the desert. How they survived there. They all helped me a little bit. The helped me understand how I am connected to their paintings and related to all the families through the skin groups and how we are all connected to the country. It's a big country. All the people seem to paint different stories, but it's the same story underneath. We're really all one people, with one big story and one big country. OPENING: Thursday 14 August 6pm proudly sponsored by BHP Billiton, Martumili, the Shire of East Pibara, the Pilbara Developmant Commission, Form, the Restore, and the Devartment of Culture and the Arts. ________________________________________________________________________________________ The Bureau of Ideas presents: An interesting event in fine art and photography: click here for more information IRIS Award 2008 The IRIS Award is a national prize recognising unique and outstanding portraiture in a
