The Going Away and the Coming Back : Karen Djordjevic

This exhibition features a collection of black and white scapes from Karen Djordjevic's journeys around the globe. Using a 35mm SLR camera and shooting with black and white film, these resonant images are in the tradition of Magnum Photography. Karen's style of photography is about taking the time to look and then re-look, as she finds quite often you see things differently, whilst also allowing for amazing moments to naturally unfold before her eyes.

Cost: free to enter

Win one of 5 free double passes to see MICMACS!

Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of cinema's most inventive and inspired talents and the creator of Amelie, Delicatessen and A Very Long Engagement. His new film Micmacs, is a dazzling comedy that follows a band of misfits, lead by accidental hero Bazil, who takes revenge on big business. Dany Boon heads a terrific cast in a film that is part comic fable, part caper and always deeply human.

Featuring Jeunet's trademark sense of wonder, Micmacs is full of magical schemes and a chain of fateful events that lead Bazil and his friends through the bewildering mysteries of life - and brings answers to questions such as: Can a woman fit inside a refrigerator? Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes? Is it better to live with a bullet lodged in your brain, or have it removed? The aesthetic sensibility at play in Micmacs is breathtaking, and with its ingenious plot, infectious imagination and sprinkling of romance, promises to delight and entertain audiences.

Double passes are valid at Luna Leederville and SX cinemas from April 1.

To go in the draw email hello@onwilliam.com.au by 6pm 26th March with:
A love letter (written in French of course) and your name and postal address.

Off The Wall
Part of FotoFreo Fringe

On show 15 March - 1 April
Hours: mon to sat 12 to 3pm

Where: Showcase Gallery, Central Institute of Technology, formerly TAFE
Corner of Aberdeen and Beaufort St, Northbridge, WA

Contact: Natalie or Krysia Cant 0434 251 542 and 0403 415 667




Off The Wall is an exhibition showcasing photographic explorations on the theme of The Wall. It features works by a group of driven young photographers of vast vision and variety. Curating this group show is Natalie Blom and Krysia Cant, joint recipients of the Central Monart Scholarship. Natalie's images focus on the gritty textures of urban surfaces while Krysia uses creative lighting techniques for her images with dazzling results.

All participants in this show have been or are currently students at Central Institute of Technology (formerly TAFE). Through their years spent together in studying the art of image taking, delving into new and old techniques, film and digital, the group have grown close, striving to produce new and original works spurred on by the spirit and enthusiasm of their peers. Each view point is completely different and yet are somehow also aligned; something which can be said about both photo artist and their works.

The Wall is sometimes a place to express yourself but can also be a barrier that constrains. Images range from bold black and white prints, traditional cyanotpes through to striking colour digital prints. This show presents to the viewer a myriad of surfaces, textures and experiences.

PICA collaborates with the Perth International Arts Festival to present the first solo exhibition in Australia of highly acclaimed Danish Artist, Jeppe Hein. An exciting survey of major works by the artist will be brought together and presented both inside the vast galleries of PICA, and outside in the busy Cultural Centre square.

The artist's much celebrated water fountain, Appearing Rooms, will be shown outdoors in front of PICA and will be complemented indoors with a selection of his significant works which illustrate further the breadth of ground-breaking ideas include the mirrored maze, Spiral Labyrinth 1 and Smoking Bench and his neon light installations. For the first time Australian audiences will be able to experience Hein's interactive, playful and critical works that have placed him at the forefront of the contemporary international art scene.

Jeppe Hein was born in 1974 in Copenhagen Denmark. He lives and works in both Copenhagen and Berlin. The artist comes to Perth following an important solo exhibition in ARoS Museum, Denmark. His works have been shown at the Tate Modern and Hayward Gallery, London; The Pompidou Centre, Paris; PS1, New York; and the Mori Museum, Tokyo. Last year Jeppe Hein collaborated on a new project with the artist Dan Graham in Germany.

Previous recipient of the prestigious Samstag scholarship and MFA graduate from the Chelsea College of Art in London, Perth artist Sarah Elson has conceived her most expansive body of work yet for a solo exhibition in PICA's Westend Gallery.

Sarah Elson's practice involves making painstakingly intricate castings of small plant and insects; flower bulbs, leaves, burrs, cicadas and beetles. Her sculptures are often mounted on pins studded directly into the gallery walls like displaced specimens. Her interest in the politics of artifacts and materials and how value is perceived is developed in Elson's laboratory-like use of PICA's gallery by amassing together different metals, delicate casts and organic forms.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11am-6pm

PICA presents a trilogy of new video works by Brisbane artist Grant Stevens, in response to his time in Los Angeles. Screened together for the first time, If Things Were Different (2009), Crushing (2009), and Really Really (2007) are three videos in which Stevens exposes the deep ambivalence of the human condition.

The works oscillate between the fanciful and romantic to the abrasively cynical by drawing on tropes of Hollywood film, advertising or bad day-time TV and purposefully mishandle media devices of editing, framing, cropping,and incorporating text or muzak.

The artist, who now lives and works between Queensland and California explains that '...unpacking and testing out those ambiguities and ambivalences are what drive me to make art - to try to make works that draw you in while making you feel uncomfortable or unsure about what you are looking at' (Eyeline, 2008).

Hours: 5.15pm
Cost: $15
