Fraudulent Behaviour uses prose, invisible friends, a decoy duck and cardboard cut-outs to create a witty and thoughtful performance in response to Nietzsche's assertion 'We need lies in order to live...'

The narrative unfolds using spoken word, movement and a series of objects that play with notions of what may be perceivedas real. Inherent in the work is a humorous use of language, both in delivery and writing style. Ideas, themes and content loop back on themselves to create a dense and evocative theatrical experience. Rosie plays with notions of time and space, interweaving real and imagined worlds to create a compelling and insightful performance about the illusory nature of life

Hours: Thursday & Friday, 5.30 & 7.30pm
Saturday & Sunday, 1pm, 5.30pm & 7.30pm

2 Dimensional Life of Her is a visual performance made of drawing, animation, puppetry, projection and paper. A richly imagined parallel world is awoken where drawings reproduce themselves, drift between surfaces and move in and out of three dimensions. You will be immersed in a world of floor to ceiling projections, mesmerising animations and walls that simply peel away. Standing at the centre of this world of light and shadows, your sense of reality will be teased and blurred.

Hours: Thursday & Friday, 8.15pm
Saturday & Sunday, 2pm & 8.15pm
Cost: $20

Writer, academic and performer Paul Dwyer retraces three journeys made by his father Dr Allan Dwyer, a world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon, to Bougainville (PNG) during the 1960s, in which he healed dozens of crippled children.

Family stories become entwined with the larger narrative of Australia's colonial enterprise over the years following the opening of the giant Panguna copper mine, environmental devastation, a brutal civil war funded by Australia that cost the lives of up to 20,000 people, and finally, the post-war reconciliation process.

This one-man performance is politics and performance at its most personal.

Hours: Thursday & Friday 6.15pm & 9.45pm
Saturday & Sunday 3.30pm, 6.15pm & 9.45pm

Hand built by the artists out of scrap metal and old oil-stained canvas, The Tent sits at the crossroads of installation art, puppetry, video and performance. Led by Michael, an audience of 25 is invited to step inside the story of an unlikely male friendship. Brett, a modern day bush philosopher, finds Michael stuck in a hole, still in his pyjamas, in the middle of the bush. Brett takes the twenty-something city kid under his wing and they live together in his tentuntil their friendship falters over what to do with a lost cow.

Created by a young group of Sydney based theatre makers, led by Matt Prest, The Tent is a unique theatrical experience, a strange journey to the muddy crossroads of self- sufficiency and prolonged adolescence. The Tent sets up camp in PICA's main gallery. Come in, get warm, Brett should be back soon.

Hours: 2-4pm every Saturday
Cost: Contribute according to your means

A one-day photography installation (with elements of performance) exploring life as a single man.

A single night, a single man, a single photographic stand. Jackson Eaton’s third solo exhibition in Perth, entitled Single, will be a photo presentation, created and exhibited within a 24 hour time frame, examining the idea of the ‘one night stand’.

Eaton will spend the night in the Free Range gallery with a stranger, documenting the experience with Polaroid photographs, before opening the gallery to the public the next day. Photos taken over the course of the previous night will be on display, as part of a site-based installation of the night’s activities.

Single will be open for viewing for one day: Tuesday, August 31, from 8am to 8pm. Audiences are encouraged to visit the gallery more than once throughout the day, as the images will change significantly during the 10 hour time frame.

Donít miss the chance to catch this startling new work from one of Perthís most defiant photographers. The morning afterís never looked so good!

Hours: Doors Open 8.00pm
Laughs Start 8.30pm
Cost: $10

Yes! Book signing with the artist, Shag AKA Josh Agle, in the new Outre Gallery space for his title "Autumn's Come Undone". Come down and check out our first major international exhibition at our brand-new Perth Gallery in the freshly revitalised area of William Street, Northbridge!

This exhibition is set to embrace Shag's new direction towards a darker mood, more surreal subject matter and more complex compositions.
Shag takes an artistic sidestep away from the retro iconography and lifestyle that has marked his career, with a whole new realm of crisply rendered dream-scenes, perfectly balanced hues and amazing narratives. These new style works will sit next to a collection of older prints and rare editions from the past.

The name of the exhibition refers to an exclusive (and mysterious) book that the artist has produced to accompany the paintings.

"Inscrutable Mystery Guide" is actually the little book that accompanies each small tiki painting. It's my hope that the books won't be seen by anyone except the person who owns one of those paintings. I want to bring them into my own little cult and tell them some secrets. - Josh Agle aka Shag

Outré Gallery is excited to be bringing US artist Josh SHAG Agle back down-under for another three city tour of Australia in August 2010. With exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth we will be presenting original paintings, super-sized giclee prints on canvas (in especially small editions), new serigraph prints and rare prints.
The Perth exhibition will be the inaugural opening of the new Outré Gallery space in Northbridge. Having been selling and exhibiting artwork in Melbourne for the past 16 years, Sydney for the past 5, Outré Gallery is enthused to be opening a third location in Western Australia.

Hours: 6pm - 8pm
