Held in the first week of the July school holidays, ArtsCAMP provides an excellent platform for young people to learn about the cultural opportunities Perth has to offer, engage, participate and learn about the creative industries as well as express their own ideas.

Hatched is Australia's most significant survey of emerging artists.

Heading into its 19th year, this landmark exhibition continues to provide an unparalleled opportunity for talented art school graduates to present their work in a professional gallery context alongside that of their national peers. It offers an all-important stepping-stone from the realm of education to the beginnings of a professional career as an artist.

This year 39 artists from 20 art schools across the country were selected to grace the vast galleries of PICA. Bear witness to these contemporary pioneers as they head into new artistic territory with their extreme mix of expanded drawing and painting practices, soft architecture and aural environments - amongst other eye, mind and ear-bending aesthetic experiments!

Hatched expands further in 2010 with the launch of the Doctor Harold Schenberg Art Prize, an annual award of $20,000 that will be presented to one Hatched artist each year. The Prize has been set up to allow an outstanding art school graduate to invest in the development of their practice through travel, research or production support.

Hours: 2-5pm
Cost: $10-$15

Olga’s work addresses identity and memory and how we link it to notions of place, tradition, culture and customs. She has a personal history as a migrant and this informs her investigations of how people (and in this case women) are defined and labelled by local language and its hidden and double meanings.

Theo has wrapped domestic objects in brown paper, giving them new life and identities. A boxing glove is transformed into a ‘paper punch’, a pepper grinder into a ‘paper mill’, and a toy wooden plane becomes a ‘paper plane’. The simplicity of the brown paper strips the objects of individuality, almost like home-brand objects, yet their distinctive shapes still place them from specific periods of time. Theo has grouped the pieces so that they form a narrative; relationships give rise to new interpretations.

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.
