Perth Centre For Photography: Emily Portman; Bo Wong April 22, 2010
Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Australian photographers, PCP, exhibition , add a commentEXHIBITIONS APRIL/ MAY
Emily Portmann, Play Terrain
Play Terrain, photographed out on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, explores notions of role play, environment and self portraiture. As a self-portrait artist, Portmann’s interests lie in the body exploring how we convey our emotional and psychological states of being through our subconscious body language.
‘Our bodies movements are the unconscious beings of ourselves, silent forms of language, hidden codes and signs our bodies can talk more loudly than language itself.’
Photographing herself as multiples within various scenarios and settings, the multiple figures enact out situations and scenarios, responding with each other and the environment around them. They are not true self-portraits as Portmann photographs herself as merely a vessel, removing personal identity with these figures.
Exhibition Opens: Thursday, 22 April, 6pm
Artist talk: Sunday 25th April 12pm – 1pm
Free entry
Exhibition continues: 23 April – 16 May 2010

Bo Wong, Mama Things
Bo Wong’s second solo exhibition continues her exploration into the fluidity of the human memory and itʼs complex relationship to the static nature of ‘things’. Mama Things observes the multifarious bind between child and mother, where everyday logistics encounter the ethereal and miraculous.
An engaging, emergent show, Mama Things equally deflects and suggests notions of photography as the informer and creator of memories, playing with the nature of the photograph as documentary evidence and truth-constructing tool.

- Clay Photo Gibson Nolte
Gibson Nolte has posted images on Metaphor Online before, namely graffiti images from Yogyakarta in Indonesia. A Sydney based actor who has appeared in Ghost Rider and Mao’s Last Dancer who takes his photography very seriously, Gibson has melded his talents into a wonderful exhibition at Perth’s Blue Room. In Perth with his wife Hayley McEhinney for Kate Mulvaney’s Deckchair Theatre Production of The Danger Age Gibson is showing his images of household Australian artists such as Claire Hooper, Kate Mulvaney, Iain Grandage, and Tim Minchin at the Blue Room Theatre in Perth. The photos have been shot by Nolte over a period of 18 months in Sydney, Perth and New York.
“Sometimes in jest, sometimes in offence, this cliche is one most artists will admit to having had levelled at them throughout their careers.
Selected from documentary photo essays shot … by Gibson Nolte, the images in this exhibition feature West Australians who have turned the cliche on its head, choosing to make the creation of art – be it visual, performance, musical, or literary – their real job.”
There is a review of the exhibition by Katherine Mountain in The West Australian, April 15, 2010

The Detour
30 January – 14 March 2010
Fremantle Arts Centre
Everybody loves a fun park – even a derelict one. In his first solo exhibition, Justin Spiers produces a record of what remained after the crowds dissipated.
The Detour was shot on location at the Castle Fun Park on the outskirts of
Mandurah. A collection of images on medium format film, Spiers presents a record of the Park’s demise into its current state of disuse.
Where once stood a fantastic Disney neighborhood, Spiers captures the disquietbetween the dizzying structures and their bush setting, suddenly realized once left A meting pot of Bavarian castles and tudor villages, these European architectural styles appear alien on the harsh Australian landscape. In reality, though, Spiers’ uneasy imagery documents the all-too-familiar marks of bushfire on the fantastic.
At once seductive and repellant, Spiers’ photographs create a somewhat tragic montage of the Park’s history – in which the unnatural collision of castle and country has occured, and has been left behind with consequences of bushfires and encroaching suburbia emblazoned on its eerie horizon.
Justin Spiers is a Western Australian photographer currently based at Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, China. He has participated in numerous exhibitions Australia-wide, and has previously endeared himself to pets and their owners as co-presenter of Pet Photo Booth.
