[Exhibition] Everything Forever - Palmcourt Gallery, Perth

EVERYTHING FOREVER brings together a group of young Melbourne photographers; some Victorian born and bred, some expats from both coasts (and one from NZ!). All eleven of the group are joined by their involvement in a youth scene, presented from the perspective of one conceptual place. These photographers come from a like-minded group creating away from the mainstream. This background of music, art, and subculture informs their aesthetic; their approach to photography is as unique and stylistic as the subject matter they find themselves privy to.

EVERYTHING FOREVER comes from Melbourne in every sense. It is the way the city looks to us.This exhibition includes photographers both schooled and self-taught, winners of prestigious industry awards and those completely new to exhibiting, those who are published in magazines and those that have books of their own.

Palmcourt Gallery and Studios are located upstairs at 926 Hay St. Perth.

EVERYTHING FOREVER runs from 09.08.07 to 22.08.07

Gallery opening hours: Wed-Sun 12-6 pm

[Exhibition] Fiction - Perth Centre for Photography

FICTION by Emma Fletcher, Karl Ockelford and Steve Matzkov

FICTION the latest group exhibition at PCP, has brought together three people from different creative backgrounds: all sharing a similar eye for the obscure. The intricate images look like etchings capturing the texture and detail in every day objects from Perth, Melbourne, Finland and Japan.

Each photograph holds its own fictional quality that encourages the viewer to discern its content by imagination or perseverance. These photographs disregard scale to transform the sometimes obvious into obscure.

FICTION runs from August 9, 6:30pm to August 25, 4pm at the Perth Centre for Photography, 91 Brisbane Street, Perth.

Gallery opening hours Thursday to Sunday 12:00 - 5:00pm
