The second day of Subscribeathon continues with another picture book! Picture book is a series of spoken word performances, stories, and jokes all accompanied with beautifully projected imagery. Imagine local artists and authors reading of stories accompanied by the ethereal glow of projected images. Imagine anything (or everything) from picture books to essays to comics.

The event is themed after our second issue: ugly. Ugly is the nugget of individuality, a mishmash of the mishapen, an aquatic creature hiding under the surface tension of aesthetic judgement. Ugly is every freakish occurrence, every flaw projected on a public screen.

On this night, we will be showcasing the words and art of:

John Charles Ryan
Cherish Marrington
Matthew Moore
Kiki Hunwick
Stephen Genovese
Danni Mcgrath
Damian West
Apriry Ly
Alyce Wilson

Picture Book will be hosted by Sj Finch, the editor of dotdotdash and general chancellor of all things subscribeathon.

The night will kick-off at 7.00pm at The Bird, 181 William Street, Northbridge, on Monday December 12.

Entry is free!

Subscribeathon is brought to you by the following fine businesses and writing organisations:

A collage of post-teenage questioning and ego roller coasters, EARTH is the creation of eight young Western Australian performers, directed by Jeffrey Jay Fowler. Precariously pious but a little bit silly, simple in design but impossible to execute, young and full hunger, EARTH is a revelation in theatre making... or at least, it's a play about Earth.

Featuring Siobhan Crabb, Cody Fern, Liam Graham, Megan Hollier, Alex Malone, Iskandar Sharazuddin, Thomas James Vowles, and Lauren Lloyd Williams.
Written and directed by Jeffrey Jay Fowler.

Contains adult content.

His work draws on inspiration from sci-fi novels of the 60’s and 70’s, consumer culture, eastern philosophies, western mythologies, pop art, street art and poster art from around the globe.

These works on display at Bivouac are part of the ‘Digital Ink’ series and are available to buy.

Alternating Currents is a major exhibition developed by PICA and the Japan Foundation and sponsored by Allens Arthur Robinson, that presents significant new work by six contemporary Japanese artists, artist collectives and musicians. Spanning a number of generations, the artists in this exhibition have multi and interdisciplinary approaches to their art making that encompass performance, film, installation, sound art and music. Their works interrogate notions of live art practice, involving local artists and communities on different levels and in a number of instances in ways that reflect on the local and global effects of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan earlier this year.

The works in this exhibition will surprise, delight and provoke visitors to PICA and in some cases encourage them to become active participants. Audiences will be prompted to buy and consume a 'local delicacy', experience a giant game, activate musical boxes and contribute to an international 'conference' on the Reconstruction of Japan.

Hours: Tues - Friday: 11am - 6pm
Sat - Sun: 12pm - 5pm
CLOSED MONDAY

OPENING 7PM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4th

Ben Barretto's 'Assisted Paintings' are produced by mechanized structures, using low-fi technology, DIY building equipment and vibrant colour to update process-based action painting.

Barretto has developed his work into an ongoing exploration of performance, movement, sound and painting, establishing a practice informed by his involvement in skateboarding and music. Barretto acts as the conductor of a synaesthesic orchestra of motion and colour; the resulting objects and installations open the dialogue between intuition and pragmatism and process and result.

SEE SOUNDS presents a series of new directions for Ben's experiments in painting and performance alongside textile and assemblage pieces.

Hours: 2-3pm
Cost: FREE
