VINCENT city council has been accused of allowing the 10-year-old AIDS memorial in Robertson Park to fall into disrepair and become a de facto skateboard park.

The memorial, built in 2002, has a broken water pump and housing, and up until Monday was littered with weeds, broken pavers and plaques.

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence member Neil Buckley has been badgering the council to repair the memorial—the fi rst of its kind in Australia—for six months.

“We came here for International AIDS Memorial Day in May and the place was an embarrassment,” he told the Voice.

“If this was an Anzac memorial then the city would have never

SKIMPIES pulling pints at the WA Italian Club have Giovanni Italiano hot under the collar.

The Stirling city councillor is dismayed one of the oldest Italian institutions in Australia, founded in 1934, has “lowered its standards”.

Cr Italiano says the weekly skimpy lunches are out of place with the rich cultural heritage of an organisation that played an important role in helping shape migration policy.

“I know times are hard for clubs right now but there are more appropriate ways to raise cash,” the former deputy mayor told the Voice.

“We are talking about a few

nickels and dimes with the skimpies—it’s not even that much money. I believe the club could keep its integrity by raising funds using other means.”

Cr Italiano is also dismayed the club hosted a $110-a-head lunch last Friday with troubled former AFL players Ben Cousins and Brendan Fevola.

Cousins was a no-show, with media outlets reporting he’s receiving treatment for drug addiction in Manila, but Fevola entertained the sell-out crowd of 460 with expletive-ridden stories about Lara Bingle and his infamous implosion at the 2009 Brownlow Medal dinner.

Cr Italiano, who is not a member of the club, had been invited to the lunch by friend and

ex-Vincent mayor Nick Catania, but had declined.

“Other aspects of the club are great, but I don’t think these people are role models and I don’t think it’s suitable for the club,” he said.

Club president Joe Radici says the skimpies and football dinners

are a tiny part of the club’s fund-raising activities.

“We host a wide variety of events including balls, carnivals and a charity dinner which raised around $250,000 for Telethon,” he said.

“The skimpies only work for a couple of hours and are popular with young tradies who fi nish early on a Friday.

“I understand they’re not everyone’s cup of tea and if we received some complaints I would consider having a separate area for them away from the main bar.”

Mr Radici says WA clubs are struggling and that 2011 was the fi rst time the club had recorded a fi nancial surplus in donkeys’ years.

“Clubs are under constant fi nancial pressure—the average

age of members at most of them is 75,” he says.

“We have to attract a younger crowd with diff erent type of events and nights.

“Our dining room has taken off with the business community, over the past six months, and we are exploring other opportunities.”

The Italian Club—which boasted 7000 members in its 1970s heyday—has dwindled to around 1000 members and has an old 3000sqm building in Fitzgerald Street to maintain.

Former Bayswater mayor Lou Magro is a club vice-president. According to the club website, WA local government minister John Castrilli and former Vincent mayor Nick Catania are members.

let the monument get into such a state.

“Teenagers are using it as a skateboard park—it is an insult to the memory of those people who died.”

It was only after Mr Buckley got in touch with mayor Alannah MacTiernan this week, that the council burst into action.

“We have agreed to fi x the pump and housing on the water feature in the next three weeks,” Ms MacTiernan says. “Over the next two weeks we will discuss the possibility of installing signage to deter skateboarders.

“Our parks and garden staff are pushed to the limits with a huge workload: This has nothing to do at all with the type of the monument in question.”

Council CEO John Giorgi says rangers report seeing only the occasional skateboarder on the

memorial.“Very little damage has actually

been infl icted in the memorial by skateboarders,” he said.

Mr Giorgi denies the council was fi rst contacted six months ago.

“No reports have been received for some time from any

constituents in regard to any damage or issue with the AIDS memorial at Robertson Park,” he said.

Mr Buckley says Ms MacTiernan has agreed to meet with stakeholders in the next few weeks.

THERE’S long been problems with anti-social behaviour in Bayswater’s Halliday Park, but residents say if you want the cops to show up fast just tell them there’s some naughty business going on.

On Friday at about 4.30pm a male and a female were seen allegedly copulating in the park.

BemusedLocals called the police and

within minutes three cars and a council ranger car showed up to intervene, arresting the male and interviewing the woman.

AN anti-racism strategy is vital to help address xenophobia that new migrants face, Chinese-born Perth city councillor Lily Chen says.

Last week the Voice reported on the front page that her veteran colleague, Judy McEvoy, had voted against a new anti-racism strategy on the grounds it failed to also target abuse that white people suff ered.

Nanjing-born Cr Chen says she’s experienced racism “not only once” since arriving in Australia in 1995 and thinks the strategy is required.

“The last one I remembered clearly when I was just elected to the City of Perth last year,” she wrote to the Voice this week.

“We sponsored the international sailing event. I was invited to go to the VIP seating area, but I was late, all seats were occupied.

“When I saw a seat at the stage, I went and sat. No-one told me I should not sit there.”

An o cial asked Cr Chen to leave the stage and questioned her, she says, “like an enemy”.

Cr Chen’s request to retrieve her bag from the seat was refused: “She said I would have

to wait for one hour later when the ceremony is fi nished.

“I was tearing [up] at that time as from the beginning to the end.

“She was treating me not as the councillor of the City of Perth, not as an ordinary citizen of this country, like someone smaller than anyone.

“Racial discrimination is sometimes very hard to prove but the victim can feel and hurt very much,” she says.

“The racial discrimination I could feel from her eyes and her voice and her conduct... as a migrant we maybe do not have perfect English, not the same skin colour like her, but we [are] all human beings with dignity, we shall respect each other regardless [of] race, colour, ethnicity.

“She is probably surprised a foreign woman can be elected as our capital city’s councillor. I am a qualifi ed lawyer, English is my third language, I am a smart and hard-working individual and I have passion to work for my beloved city.

“This kind of behaviour shall be killed in the fi rst place.”

All councillors but Cr McEvoy voted to endorse the anti-racism program which will see the council develop “an appropriate communications strategy” to support the campaign and identify “specifi c activities that the City can undertake over the next three years to support the City’s stance against racism”.

Meanwhile Cr McEvoy’s stance has earned her a challenger for the next council election. Western Australians Against Racism member Bruce Campbell says her opposition to the strategy damages the state’s reputation.

Racism is realLily Chen defends new strategy

bemused resident Greg Smith told the Voice.

“Was it because of the time or the crime?”

Mayor Terry Kenyon delicately acknowledged “two people were engaged in anti-social behaviour” at the park on Friday while defending the council’s record in taking care of trouble down there.

“Records identify that the city’s ranger and security services attended 16 incidents at Halliday Park, of which eight were referred to the WA police, in relation to anti-social or illegal behaviour at Halliday Park, during the last four months,” he says. “The city’s ranger and security services are in contact regularly with the WA police to identify any new hot spots, and target these areas.”

STIRLING city council will address the dearth of Aboriginal works in its art collection.

A May 2012 audit revealed just two of 167 artworks in Stirling’s $330,000 collection were by indigenous artists.

The council has now voted that at least a quarter of all future art purchased be by indigenous Australian artists.

It also tripled the annual art collection budget to $30,000, consistent with the similar-sized shires of Joondalup ($30,000) and Melville ($25,000).

The move to address the imbalance in St i r l ing’s ar t collection was spearheaded by Inglewood Cr David Lagan.

Local elder Doolan Leisha Eatts welcomed the quota.

“The city has missed out on a lot of beautiful Aboriginal artworks,” she said.

THE next gay pride parade will have an unusual addition—a Vincent city council fl oat.

At mayor Alannah MacTiernan’s request the council this week voted to spend $11,500, and will also kick in cash to fund “Wigstock,” a drag queen musical show.

Cr John Carey, who’s gay, says he supports the parade but feels it’s lost its political edge.

“I feel the Pride parade may have become redundant,” he told colleagues, adding that some in the gay and lesbian community felt “it’s become a tits and arse show for drunken louts and Japanese tourists”.

StereotypesHe says he’d like to

see the parade reconnect with its political and human rights roots “rather than reconfi rming some stereotypes”.

“I have been in the Pride march previously but it’s got to have serious content.”

Cr Warren McGrath, also gay, concedes “there’s a little bit of raunchiness on some fl oats” but reckons it’s still an important event.

“It’s an opportunity for people to celebrate their sexuality,” he says. “Over time, yes, the parade has changed and that’s because the gay and lesbian community has made inroads into human rights... it’s become more of a celebration.

“I still think it is a worthwhile event.”

Ms MacTiernan didn’t pull punches: “It was a very lame event last year, let’s be honest,” but she notes new organisers are breathing new life into festivities.

Cr Carey asked whether the Vincent staff donating their spare time to decorating the fl oat were gay.

Ms MacTiernan answered: “There is a fair amount of enthusiasm but I did not inquire as to the sexuality of the enthusiastic o cers.”

MORE than 250 people have signed a petition opposing the demolition of the Mt Lawley primary school facade.

Organised by local Miles Burke the petition calls on the government to retain the 100-year old brick entrance facing Second Avenue.

Last week a document leaked from the WA education department stated the most “cost eff ective” measure was to entirely bulldoze the fi re-ravaged school as it was structurally unsafe.

Following a public outcry, department chief Jim Webb said its “preference” was to retain some original elements.

“A community workshop is being planned for later this month to engage with stakeholders about what should be retained or incorporated into the new building,” he said.

“We have asked the architect to include the school’s historical elements into the new design such as the window form and brick detailing.

“I can assure everyone that we will build a tremendous facility that is in harmony with the feel of the local community and meet current education requirements.”

Mr Webb added no date had been set for demolition, but there was some urgency to make the site safe.

Mt Lawley Society president Bruce Wooldridge says the workshop is a step in the right direction.

• Mt Lawley society president Bruce Wooldridge at the Mt Lawley Primary School facade, which hangs in the balance.

“We have been pushing for more transparency and community consultation,” he said. “This is a step in the right direction and hopefully we can work with the state government to retain the facade.

“It is ironic that the school was under assessment for inclusion on the state register of heritage buildings. However, as that process is incomplete, the buildings have no legal protection under the State Heritage Act.”

Perth Labor MP John Hyde says it would be hypocritical if the government—which paid to dismantle the Florence Hummerston building on the Esplanade brick-by-brick—simply bulldozed the school entrance.

“I call upon the minister to release the engineers’ report before wiping out more of our state’s heritage with his eye just on the till,” he said.

The school is expected to be rebuilt by 2014 at a cost of $9 million.

Three teenagers have been charged with arson.

Push in the right directionIT is great to see a push by a Liberal candidate for recycling in the City (Perth Voice, August 11, 2012). Hopefully this means we’ll see a renewed commitment by the state government for the container deposit scheme that has previously been mooted but has gone nowhere.

ABS fi gures for 2011 show WA diverted only 28.2 per cent of all rubbish from landfi ll. South Australia, the only state with an established container deposit scheme, recycles a whopping 66.3 per cent of its rubbish.

Unfortunately the history of trialling separate outdoor recycling bins shows low adherence by the public. The Perth city council could invest in single bin recycling as in Stirling which, although not providing colour coded bins for a greenwash soundbite, would be more eff ective at limiting contamination.

More bins also means more collection trucks, which uses more fossil fuels and creates more pollution. Real environmental solutions don’t seem to come easily to this government. But props for the attempt.

Jonathan HallettRobinson Ave, Perth

GobsmackedI AM gobsmacked that City of Perth Councillor Judy McEvoy thinks white people in Australia sometimes experience racism, and should therefore benefi t from a push like the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Racism. It stops with me campaign (Perth Voice, August 11, 2012).

I don’t know the councillor personally, and don’t want to make this about her specifi cally. Perhaps this is just a message to what I can only hope is a tiny handful of people who simply do not understand what racism is.

My guess is that those people are not themselves in racial minorities.

Racism is negative treatment on the grounds of one’s race; in other words, the primary basis for the negative treatment is the race of the victim.

A white person who experiences, for example, a threat of violence in Northbridge is not a victim of racism unless the threat is expressed to be because the person being threatened is white. Similarly, Perth council is not experiencing racism when, as a government body, it hears the voice of protest from Aboriginal groups.

I am a 39-year-old white male and I have never been negatively treated on the grounds of the colour of my skin, and neither have I witnessed such happening in this country. I have missed out on some opportunities in my life of course, and even been the victim of crime, but race was irrelevant in those contexts.

To suggest otherwise would be deeply off ensive to those in our community who have, and unfortunately still do, experience true racism.

The City of Perth should get unanimously behind moves to curb racism in this country.

Cameron PoustieNorth Metro candidateThe Greens

Failing the testFURTHER to “Barnett reforms a waste of money” (Voice, August 11, 2012) it should be noted the reforms also fail the democracy and transparency test.

Given Bayswater councillor McKenna’s recent comments on the DAP, it will be interesting to see if the Australian Labor Party scraps the DAP when it regains control of state parliament. I was recently told that MRA stood for MADNESS RUNNING AMOK: What does DAP mean?

Greg SmithBayswater

It’s just not onI WAS surprised to read of Cr Judy McEvoy’s opposition to the PCC adopting a strategy on the grounds its main focus was targeting racism against Aboriginal people (Voice, August 11, 2012).

The appearance in recent months of toxic, malicious Facebook pages denigrating and humiliating Aboriginal people (featuring photos of people with abusive and degrading racist captions)—and “liked” by thousands—is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the discimination and abuse faced by Aboriginal people in our country, and in our state.

Racist abuse is not on, no matter who the target. It makes sense to prioritise the areas where there is greatest need for action.

This of a City of Perth councillor, one Lisa Sca di, touted then as a possible sprightly Lord Mayor. It complemented my very fi rst off ering to appear in the Voice.

Nowadays my impatience to see the Voice, implied above, is prompted by a need to fi nd out fate of my latest off ering—by any other rosy name.

But these brothers: Strength to your legs, lads. Long may you deliver the goodies.

“ALL in favour of the big blue head, say aye.”

The debate over what kind of public art to install around town this week saw Vincent councillor Dudley Maier describe some as “tacky”.

The council operates a scheme that makes developers set aside one per cent of the cost of their developments for public art. They can either commission their own, or hand the money to the council which either commissions a work for the development, or pools it for bigger projects.

When it came to installing a giant “OMG” sign on Beaufort Street, Cr Maier voted against it,

by STEPHEN POLLOCK

MORLEY has suff ered the highest number of accidental house fi res in WA over the past fi ve years with 39 incidents, according to a FESA study.

Nearby Maylands came a close second with 38.

Firefi ghters are urging householders to be more fi re-vigilant with the study revealing 592 accidental residential fi res across WA in the past year.

Chief operations o cer Lloyd Bailey is concerned residents are failing to take even simple steps to prevent accidental house fi res, which caused almost

calling the work “tacky”.To that, Cr John Carey said,

“quite frankly I do take off ence to it because public art is diff erent for every person”.

He told Cr Maier not to second-guess decisions that the arts advisory committee—consisting largely of community-based arty volunteers—had recommended.

“If we start to get into this to-and-fro of ‘I don’t like this piece of public art. . .then we should just abolish the arts advisory group”.

Cr Carey acknowledged the “OMG” will probably date and said “do I use that term myself? No, I use LOL.”

Cr Maier said he’d continue to speak his mind.

“What really pisses me

off is when people don’t like something but don’t say it,” he said.

“We all have our own personal taste, I just think this lacks imagination so it’s a bit tacky.”

The fi nal score: A big blue head will be installed on Charles Street, a weird abstract “person... fi gure” will go in on Bulwer Street, and the OMG will go up on Beaufort Street, despite the objections of councillors Maier and John Pintabona.

The OMG was originally going to be even more “tacky”: The arts advisory group had recommended the artist make the “M” the same as the nearby McDonalds golden arches, but that idea was stricken from the record.

$22 million damage in the past fi nancial year. Most were preventable, with the biggest cause unattended fl ames and heaters.

Historically, August is the busiest month of the year for accidental house fi res.

“We all have a responsibility to understand house fi re risks and take the right steps to keep ourselves and our families safe,” Mr Bailey said. “Recent house fi res have been caused by clothes being draped over heaters, burning logs rolling out of open fi res and children being left unattended with candles.

“Fires in the bedroom or lounge room account for 73 per cent of all house fi re fatalities

and most commonly because heat sources have been left unattended.”

The most common causes of house fi res are fl ammable items left too close to heaters, open fi res, candles, careless smoking, unattended cooking and electric blankets.

Bayswater mayor Terry Kenyon says rangers run an education program on fi re safety for residents. “They advise residents to ensure they install smoke alarms, check smoke alarm batteries and to fi t safety switches,” he said. “As a part of the program, residents are also provided with a Red Cross RediPlan Emergency Management Kit.”

ALONG with looking to ban plastic bags, Vincent council this week endorsed a “cash for cans” project that will pay local schools 10 cents for every can collected (with up to $2000 available per school).

Cr John Carey, who works for Pew Environmental Group in his civilian life, points out that WA has the lowest levels of recycling in the country, with just 28 per cent of rubbish diverted from landfi lls into recycling.

“It’s quite clear WA is dragging its heels,” he says. South Australia is leading the recycling rates with 66 per cent of its waste being recycled, in part because it already has state-wide container deposit legislation that allows for anyone to collect 10 cents when they turn in a can or bottle.

“It’s 95 per cent more e cient to produce a can from recycled aluminium than it is to produce from raw materials,” Cr Carey says.

“I think this is a great way for council

A BAN on single-use plastic bags is on the way with Vincent city council this week endorsing mayor Alannah MacTiernan’s plans to do away with them.

She is following in the footsteps of Fremantle city council which is currently fi nishing the detail on its own ambitious plans.

Ms MacTiernan says she’s not looking to ban all bags, she just wants to minimise the use of single-use non-

biodegradable bags.Cr Dudley Maier took props along to

the council meeting to demonstrate the small plastic bags you put fruit in will remain: It’s the thin plastic bags at the counter that are in the council’s sights.

The plan may not involve a strict ban, as Freo intends, with Vincent staff asked to investigate “strategies to minimise and/or prohibit” the single-use non-biodegradable bags.

Ms MacTiernan says even if council goes ahead with the ban it’s “quite possible” the WA parliament will reject the law.

to engage school children. . .it’s about showing leadership on this issue.”

He’d like to see container deposit legislation brought in, giving people a 10c refund for recycled bottles, but says “powerful commercial interests” such as Coca-Cola oppose the plan, claiming it will drive up prices. “We have to help build the momentum,” he told colleagues.

On Tuesday activists held a national

rally in favour of container deposit laws, with WA Local Government Association boss Troy Pickard backing the proposed laws, to be debated next month.

“South Australia has had container deposit legislation in place for over three decades and this has been extremely successful in reducing litter, increasing recycling rates and creating greater environmental awareness in the public.”

BAYSWATER city council is targeting Gen-Y with the launch of its Facebook and Twitter page.

Mayor Terry Kenyon concedes he is a social media virgin and does not have an account: “I am available to all our ratepayers by a variety of other mediums,” he says.

But he adds several other councillors are social media savvy.

“The city embraces many forms of

communication to engage with our residents and Twitter and Facebook are amongst them,” he says.

“Both of these social media forums have the added attraction of a strong following amongst younger people, so it will defi nitely help our communications with the younger generation.”

Perth Labor MP John Hyde is the political Twitter king of WA, posting 2469 tweets since he fi rst joined two years ago.

“Brevity is the key,” the former print journalist says. “It’s a great discipline—three-hour speeches from the back of

a truck or in parliament are oh-so-19th century.”

Labor senator Ursula Stephens is the federal twitter queen, posting 9174 tweets since joining.

Basywater riveting tweets include: “Join Maylands Library’s book club at 2pm tomorrow to discuss Colin McCann’s Let the Great World Spin. Details http://www.bayswater.wa.gov.au .”

VINCENT city council has brokered a deal with the Barnett government to restore the Perth Oval gates and vintage turnstiles as part of its $95 million stadium redevelopment.

The State will spend $150,000 restoring the heritage-listed gates to their 1930s splendour.

Works will include new fl agpoles, re-pointing of brickwork, a new render and treatment of rust.

Most of the original turnstiles will be removed to increase capacity and accommodate stewards with bar code readers, but two at the eastern and western points of the gate will remain.

The city—which is leasing the stadium to the State for 50 years at $25,000 a year—has negotiated for two of the removed turnstiles to be transformed into public art or street furniture nearby.

Cultural valueMayor Alannah MacTiernan says the

gates hold immense cultural value.“The gates were constructed back

in 1932 and are one of the state’s best examples of the interwar mediterranean architecture,” she says.

“Naturally, the gates are a bit worn out these days but they’re being restored and will remain in place, as will most of the turnstiles.

“We need to appreciate and care for this unique slice of local history and integrate the old with the new.”

Perth Oval project manager Byron Hehir estimates the restoration will be fi nished by October.

The land on which the stadium is built was known as Loton’s Paddock, after previous owner William Loton, Lord Mayor of Perth.

Mr Thorley sold the land to the City of Perth in 1904 with the purpose of providing recreation for residents of the area.

The record crowd for the ground was 26,760 for the May 1969 East Perth (Royals) and West Perth (Cardinals) Derby.

MAYLANDS man Ben Fitzhardinge used to cycle all the way to Beaufort Street to fi nd a nice pub—until his bike got stolen.

Last week the freelance computer programmer was the fi rst person to order a drink at Swallow, Maylands’ fi rst small bar.

He says it’s a relief to fi nally have somewhere classy to drink in Maylands.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time for this one,” he said over his Buff alo Trace American bourbon.

“They have decent scotches

here. It’s very decently priced.”Jan Evans queued outside,

waiting for the place to open, and was fi rst through the doors when the closed sign fl ipped over.

“We’ve lived in the area for seven years and have been waiting for something to open,” she says.

“I used to tell [my husband] I was going to die out here because there’s nothing to do.”

The Swallow has garnered a lot of attention as being “Alannah MacTiernan’s bar” but this week the Vincent mayor told the Voice that after helping it get set up she’s taken a back seat to let the two young owners, Meredith Bastian and Zoe Roe,

take the reins.As part-owner of the

building, Ms MacTiernan says, “when I fi nished politics I wanted to set up a bar, because I wanted to do the sort of activation, the type that as a planning minister one talks about”.

“I wanted to set it up with my son but his wife decided she wanted him to stay home with the children.”

She says it had cost a “disgusting amount of money” to get set up and to jump through all the building approval and liquor licensing hoops, with an outlay of “about a quarter of a million” on her part.

ON the way to Northbridge, I spotted two elderly ladies in

a cafe reading Fifty Shades of Grey.

I thought it was a book about hair dye, but ‘er indoors informs me it is bourgeoisie porn. Disturbed, I reached for the mental bleach and then fl ed to the Royal Seafood for lunch.

Located in Aberdeen Street, this restaurant is a solitary doorway hidden amongst nightclubs and cafes.

The narrow entrance was misleading, debouching into a large seating eating area adorned with oak and oriental reliefs.

The restaurant was crammed with Chinese families, oriental couples and the odd pasty Westerner (yours truly). Urban myth dictates this is a good sign and you are guaranteed authentic Chinese cuisine. However, I have enjoyed many a stinker in eateries packed with ex-pats.

The traditional lunchtime menu here is eschewed in favour of trolleys that trundle around the restaurant, off ering patrons a variety of steamed dim sum, vegetables and fried treats.

We kicked off with a plate of spinach ($4.50) and salt and pepper squid ($7.80).

The squid had a latent spiciness which fondled the tongue long after the seafood had slid down one’s throat.

Its coating was wispy and overall it was a pleasant if

unspectacular overture.Meanwhile, the good lady

was enjoying her Popeye feast of spinach stalks and sauteed leaves—“Fresh and light, with just the right amount of soy,” was her verdict.

Next up was the dumpling artillery—pork ($5.80), prawn ($8.80), and crab ($5.80) dim sum. I’ve always been a bit wary of Har gow-style dim sum: When poorly cooked the translucency and texture reminds me of an alien membrane. But these were fresh and delicious, the texture adding a nice counterpoint to the fl eshy prawns.

The pork Shumai-style dumplings were’t too greasy nor salty, and had a nice balance of

herbs and caviare.The trollies passed by with

satisfying regularity and it wasn’t long before the good lady snatched a steamer of crab dim sum.

“Lovely fresh crab with a dainty casing,” she said.

The Royal deserves bonus points for being open on a Sunday—when much of Perth slips into a catatonic stupor—and off ers a great variety of dim sum for lunch.

Thankfully it was a triumph and I wasn’t forced to write a decadent, steamy review, Fifty Shades of MSG.

WHEN China’s doors creaked opened to capitalism in 1979 the benefi t went beyond

economics, says art curator Catherine Croll.

The bamboo curtain also lifted on western art, and Chinese artists embraced contemporary forms after decades of art being exploited as fl orid propaganda for the communist regime.

European art took hundreds of years to develop, from religious propagandic iconography to royal propagandic portraits to art representing the everyday.

Chinese artists made that multi-century leap in just three years, once exposed to bold new ideas from outside,

ARTSJENNY D’ANGERAAAAAAJE

Ms Croll says.She’s keen to maintain the cross-

cultural fl ow, even if it means treading lightly with the still-authoritarian government.

“The door is open and I would like it to remain open,” she says.

Ms Croll is one of two curators from Beijing-based gallery Red Gate, bringing Two Generations, 20 years of Chinese Contemporary Art to Australia, culminating in a Perth exhibition.

Red Gate was the fi rst to off er young Chinese artists a gallery to show their works.

Previously works would hang in the

artist’s apartment, or sometimes in the Australian embassy, as consular staff discovered budding artists, Ms Croll says.

“[Or] they would literally hang on fences around parks.”

While artists took to modern art quickly, the general Chinese population has been slower to warm to art that isn’t overtly political. “They are used to looking for the slogan,” Ms Croll says.

But with a growing middle class, appreciation for home-grown artists has risen too.

“I have noticed [Chinese] people are more confi dent in buying contemporary artists’ work,” Ms Croll said, adding works previously sold overseas are likely to be bid for online by mainland Chinese.

Despite a loosening of control, works in the exhibition were vetted by the Ministry of Culture, which refused two from being shown abroad.

One had included installation art using pages from books on Lenin, Marx, Buddhism, the Bible and Mao.

“Seven of the eight books were allowed but not the book on Mao,” Ms Croll says. “[The] ministry didn’t know if it was critical or not.”

The exhibition celebrates the Year of Chinese Culture, the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Australia and China, and the 25th anniversary of WA-Zhejiang sister-state relations and will be opened by premier Colin Barnett.

Eleven “senior” Chinese artists were asked to nominate an emerging artist they admired, “[enabling] us to curate an exhibition where the works of the two generations…are being shown side-by-side to celebrate the achievement of one generation and the promise of the next”.

The eclectic mix includes paintings, photography, works on paper, sculpture, video and installation, refl ecting the dynamic and ever-evolving Chinese art scene, Ms Croll says.

Two Generations opens August 23 to September 16 at the Linton & Kay Galleries, at the Perth Technical School, 137 St Georges Terrace.

THERE’S a defi nite buzz around Royal Street, East Perth these days and this two-bedroom

apartment is in the thick of it.Well actually it’s on the quieter

end, where the street-level activity is commercial—including a travel agent so you can nip in and book your next holiday on the way home from the o ce.

But if you’re looking for action there’s a swag of trendy bars and cafes a mere two-minute walk away.

Apartment 24 is on the second fl oor, accessed via a quiet and fast lift, or take the stairs “for your heart’s sake”. Yeah, as if.

The large entry opens onto a spacious living/dining area with ultra-heigh ceilings.

Light fl oods in through a soaring wall of glass—which slides back to bring the indoors out.

A cute balcony on the other side is a great spot to enjoy a cuppa over the morning paper, or entertain friends over dinner.

The kitchen is surprisingly spacious and has a generous double pantry and plenty of bench space, in a stylish white caesar stone.

The two bedrooms are double, but one is larger. Both have built-in-robes.

And there’s a powder-room as well as a bathroom, where the laundry is cleverly

ESTATEJENNY D’ANGEREEEEEEJE

disguised as a large linen cupboard.From the balcony you can see a brook

that meanders to become Claisebrook Cove and there’s glimpses of a lovely lake and parkland at the end of the rear laneway.

City Farm’s organic weekend markets is in walking distance, as is the Perth CBD but there’s always the free CAT bus into the city for weary legs.

This is a great inner-city pad for young homebuyers starting out, a handy home for CBD wage slaves or a lovely lock-and-leave for retirees.

EVERYONE’S favourite children’s television show

is heading to WA for a series of concerts, hosted by Teo Gebert and Leah Vandenberg.

The 2012 Play School concert will have all Play School fans singing, dancing and jumping for joy as they see Big Ted setting off to fi nd a royal castle with his friends Humpty, Jemima and Little Ted, travelling

through a fun-fi lled world of nursery rhymes, songs and stories.

The Play School live shows have been specially designed to delight pre-schoolers and parents alike.

The concert features songs, games and stories, presented by two Play School presenters, along with everyone’s favourite Play School toys.

As with the TV program, the concert is carefully paced for children.

There are songs to move to, as well as quiet times to just watch and listen. The familiarity of the material and the presenters combined, totally engage the young audience and encourages participation.

The Voice has a bunch of double passes (one adult & one child over 12 months) and merchandise to give away to the following shows, at the Fremantle Town Hall: Sunday September 2, 10am, Monday September 3, 1pm and Tuesday September 4, 1pm.

Send entries to: Voice Play School, PO Box 85 North Fremantle 6159.

Be sure to include your name, address, email and daytime contact and specify which day you’d like to attend. Entries close Monday August 27 and we will contact with the lucky winners.

Play School is the second longest running children’s television program in the English speaking world still in production.

Concerts began in the mid 1970’s and since then have travelled around Australia entertaining more than 100,000 people annually. For ticketing or more information call 1300 788 028 or visit www.kidspromotions.com.au.

The live shows are being organised by Kids Promotions and the Australian Broadcasting Commission.

• Teo Gebert gets ready to play.

It’s Play School

MO O N R I S E K I N G D O M i s a b lend of

nosta l iga , heart and imagery that br ings audience’s deep into director Wes Anderson’s world like never before.

The bittersweet romance tells the tale of Sam and Suzy, two grown-up 12 years olds who run away to be together.

There’s a s te l la cast inc luding Bi l l Murray, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis,

Frances McDormand, and Harvey Keitel.

Moonrise Kingdom isn’t just an exploration of a time and place through “Wes” coloured glasses, it’s a heatfelt exploration of what it means to hold on to a childish spirit.

The Voice has double passes for a special screeing on August 25. Send entries to Voice Luna comp, PO Box 85, North Fremantle, 6159 or visit our Facebok page and enter the codeword: Moonrise at www.facebook.com/perthvoice.

It pays any amount such as $2800 in a month plus benefi ts and it takes only a little of your time. Please send e-mail to [email protected]

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Your foundations are secure. You have passed the bump in the road.

Where there was trembling in your boots, there is now post-crisis exhilaration. That’s not to say that relationship won’t boggle your mind. It’s impossible to court love without addressing the big issues.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)As change comes, so does reluctance. The more obvious it is that there is a

decision to be made, the more you, and all your fans, can feel your heels dig in. No-body in their right mind would dare to try to rush you. If you want to go deeper, confront reality, don’t run.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)Use the fi re that life is blessing you with, to fi ght the stasis and laziness

that wants to keep you cocooned. You will have to take one strong, directed, meaningful step, to get people and events on side. As tempting as it is to roll over and dream on, inaction won’t satisfy.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The week starts with a new Moon in Leo. This will give you fresh courage.

There’s a lot going on for you and your fellow crustaceans. Venus is in your sign, inviting delight. She is also inciting a fair degree of chaos, as is her wont. Love insists on awareness and realness.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)The new Moon inspires you to let the old leaves fall and focus on

birthing fresh shoots. There’s plenty of scope for going up the wrong track. The siren lure of illusion is lurking. If you can fi nd the golden mean, all will be well. Consider the implications of your actions.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)You aren’t exactly hiding demurely in the bushes at the moment. You are out and

about. Your style is on show. You are being seen. This makes you highly accountable. Some of the feedback you receive will be dodgy. Some of it will be accurate, sincere and helpful.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)Mars has passed in front of Saturn. If there was confl ict to be had, it’s been

had. If there was a showdown to be acted out, it’s been acted out. Now is for getting on with a whole new situation - and assimilating any wisdom that might have come your way. Move on.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) Pluto (your planet) is dancing with Uranus, who brings freedom, and

Venus, who brings love. Uranus is in impulsive Aries. Venus is in protective Cancer. As hard as you go to move forward, so the softness inside wants to be safe. This brings both adventure and risk-analysis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Your present job, is to get those who want to shine like egoistic knights,

working with those who want only altruism. There need not be a clash of cultures. Entrepreneurialism and sensitivity need not be at such loggerheads. Unite these disparate forces with a bigger vision.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Though you might have feared a clash, there wasn’t one – or at least nothing

matching your fears. Mars has passed Saturn by. Bones and muscle worked together. Sensibility and passion found common ground and achieved an end. Now, come down out of that ivory tower.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Love-child Venus, won’t leave transformative Pluto alone. Love invariably

comes with all sorts of unseen issues. You are in the position, by courtesy of the planet Uranus, of holding a powerfully intense and unresolved relationship together. Be the very incarnation of patience.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)There’s a lot present that is crossing you and opposing you and generally

doing its best to rub you up the wrong way. You will have to remember all that is balanced, sensible and centred, to avoid friction. Fortunately there’s plenty available to assist with this remembrance.
