The gallery on William Street adjacent to the State Theatre is beautiful and I have been a little tardy in letting people know about this photography space being shared with artists from KURB Gallery. Tomorrow is the last day of the show and it is well worth visiting from 12pm before it becomes a speak easy on Friday night. The view from inside out is as interesting as it from outside in.
Philip Toledano: Perth Centre for Photography March 20, 2012
Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : PCP, Perth Centre for Photography, Philip Toledano , add a commentPhilip Toledano is interested by what we define as beauty, when we choose to create it ourselves. His confronting portraits at The Perth Centre for Photography throw questions for us rather than answers but htey are always serious questions.
Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make?
Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon’s hand?
When we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character, or are we stripping away our very identity or are we creating a new identity?
Perhaps we are creating a new kind of beauty. An amalgam of surgery, art, and popular culture? And if so, are the results the vanguard of human induced evolution?
Having the artist in Perth is a special experience. Philip Toledano discusses his art projects in detail under a self proclaimed title:
“A BRIEF
(AND SLIGHTLY TEDIOUS)
OVERVIEW OF
MY
ENTIRE LIFE”
It is anything but tedious. He discusses his projects ‘BANKRUPT 2001-2004′, ‘VIDEO GAMERS 2002′, ‘HOPE AND FEAR 2004′, ‘THE UNITED STATES OF ENTERTAINMENT 2004-2001′, ‘PHONESEX 2005-2006, ‘AMERICA THE GIFT SHOP 2008′, ‘DAYS WITH MY FATHER 2007-2009′, ‘A NEW KIND OF BEAUTY’,'KIM JONG PHIL 2011′, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT 2011-2012.
He talks about portraiture, about his projects (with a brief look at his latest project, a multi ended look at his own mortality, about photography and methodology for an hour and the audience hangs about and throws questions at him. He answers them all with verve and energy before heading into the city for a burger and a look at what he calls ‘the genius ideas’ behind HIJACKED at PICA.
Thanks for coming to Perth Mr Toledano.

Perth Centre for Photography
With Foto Freo coming up and the Perth Centre for Photography reopening in a new city space Perth will be awash with exciting new exhibitions. Robbie Cooper’s Alter Ego’s dyptychs of subject and avatar is one.
As a part of the core programme the Perth Centre for Photography (PCP) has two exhibitions, Alter Ego, by Robbie Cooper and, A New Kind of Beauty, by Phillip Tolenado.
Robbie Cooper’s Alter Ego exhibition explores personal and social identities being shaped in the meta verse at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Portraits of online gamers and virtual-world participants from America, Asia and Europe are paired with images of their avatars, with profiles of their real-world and virtual self-created characters.
For Phillip Tolenado’s exhibition he explains, “I’m interested in what we define as beauty, when we choose to create it ourselves. Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make? Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon’s hand?”
Just a reminder that the PCP has moved and is now located at 100 Aberdeen Street Northbridge. And if you are in Perth this week the PCP is celebrating the opening of its new gallery on Wednesday the 8th of February at 6pm.
