1)I am gonna in a show/exhibition this/next month (well, April)
Starts April 15, with about 40 other amazing Perth artists.
The thing is called dRAW, by the Arterial Collective. Its all pieces on paper. I have 2 pieces of paper in, and going by what Ive been when I dropped off my stuff, theres some incredible work going to be there.
Arterial Collective - From the site-
"As of 6.30pm Wednesday 15 April 2009 the team from Arterial Collective are back frolicking on the frontiers of contemporary art. Running until 1 May 2009, the launch of their second exhibition entitled ‘dRaw’ features more than thirty of Perth’s finest young contemporary artists including Creepy, Jodee Knowles, Sean Morris, Ali J and Pete Long in a rampant display of unique illustrative styles.
The launch is housed in a stunning art deco building situated at 214 Williams Street Northbridge. $10 entry gets you in the giant silver doors where you can check out how awesomely talented these Perth artists are, get your hands on a free copy of the limited edition Arterial Magazine (proudly sponsored by Spicers Paper), and grab a Coopers beer or glass of MadFish wine… all to the tunes of local muso’s Fall Electric, She Selexx, DJ’s Craig Hollywood and Solectra."
