dealers steadfastly
sticking to their niche
audience have had a
rough run lately.
he lo al financial
crisis sti ed art u ers
worldwide, and in Australia
they got a double-whammy;
the federal government
introduced laws telling
art owners to either stick
collections in storage or sell
them off otherwise the
couldn’t put them in self-
managed super funds.
There are estimates that
across Australia around
30 per cent of commercial
galleries closed.
But Studio 281 Art
Gallery on Guildford Road
has stuck in there for the
long haul and is expanding
after attracting a new,
younger audience.
Leo Flavel started Studio
281 about 10 years ago
while in his mid-20s.
He says back then he was
moving paintings mostly
between $4000 - $5000,
but while a lot of galleries
simply banked on the
economy improving and old
investors coming back, his
average price is around half
that and he’s thriving on the
increased turn-over.
“Other people have
been sitting on their hands
waiting for the economy to
get better,” he says.
Emerging artists
By focussing on
emerging artists Mr Flavel’s
been tapping into a younger
art-buying demographic,
who are roughly in their
mid-20s, and aren’t
encumbered by mortgages
or kids yet.
”We’ve been all over the
street art scene,” he says,
a movement that’s been
booming over the past few
years and is making the
transition to in-home pieces.
“ e e ust finished a
massive show that was a
huge success called Making
Waves. There were 20
emerging artists that we’ve
never worked with before. It
went really well, it showed
we’re doing the right
things.”
Word’s spreading.
Artist Kathryn Gallagher’s
solo exhibition We Can Be
Heroes bleeds the pop art
aesthetic popular with a
younger crowd.
Her bright images and
familiar pop culture comic
characters are viewed with
childlike wonderment.
She has works in
international collections
and won the 2013 Amnesty
International award for her
piece “Mabo,”.
Mr Flavel’s studio caught
her eye for her WA premiere.

“Pokemon Go” launched in
Perth on Wednesday last week
before being unleashed across
the world over the next day
or two. Google Maps and GPS
help players wander around the
real world while their online
avatar sticks close by, looking for
pokemon (pocket monsters) to
catch.
The program chooses
landmarks from Google maps
to e si nificant locations or
“gyms”) in the game, where
players have to battle tough
trainers and their elite “pocket
monsters” to control that
location for their team.
Vincent council was picked as
one of the gyms, and is currently
hostin monsters like the in
venomous bat Golbat. It switches
hands several times a day, as red,
blue and yellow teams wrest to
control it for their faction.
Battleground of ideas
Mayor John Carey isn’t a
player and says he doesn’t
quite understand what the fuss
is about, but given the council
chamber is a “battleground of
ideas he thinks it s a fittin
location for battling monsters as
well.
“I’d love to see people
turning up to catch Pokemon at
the City of Vincent.”
King’s Park has also been a
hotspot for Pokefans because
rarer creatures can be caught in
parks.
Tuesday evening’s biting cold
wasn’t enough to deter about
500 hunters.
Car Parks were packed and
roads clogged with slow-rolling
cars looking for somewhere to
drop their Pokemon lures.
The nearby chip shop is seeing
a huge boost in trade, while two
regular joggers say they’re now
having to navigate their way
through a horde of 25 to 30 year
olds hunting magical beasts.
But they told the Voice they
liked the company and one
runner wished us “good luck,
I hope you catch a Dragonair!“
— a rare creature said to inhabit
the park.
A swank four wheel drive
did slow laps while blaring out
the Pokemon theme tune, then
suddenly a hearty “YES!” rang
out across Ceremonial Walk,
coming from a meaty, tattooed

bloke pushing a pram. Across a
sea of nerds a hoodied woman
yelled back to him: “Babe, did
you get a Machop?” referring to
a querulous kung-fu goblinoid
that inhabits the park.
It’s not all eyes glued to
the screen either: There’s a
community feel to it, as strangers
helpfully let each other know
about the much-sought after
Clefairy monsters appearing
down near the war memorial,
or ask if anyone’s seen the shy
living mushroom Parasect.
The app’s hugely popular
and will soon have more daily
users than Twitter at the rate it’s
being downloaded.
It’s been praised for getting
people out and interacting with
others, but some don’t know
when to quit: The Holocaust
Museum in Auschwitz has
asked people to stop catching
Pokemon on its premises, calling
it “extremely inappropriate”.

Metro murder charge
POLICE have charged
a 31-year-old man with
murdering Ian John Wilson, 48,
who was found dead on the
steps of Beaufort Street’s Metro
Church on Sunday at 8am.
Police say a weapon was used
and the attack happened around
9pm on Saturday night.
They don’t believe the
accused man knew Mr Wilson,
and there didn’t appear to be
any altercation between them
beforehand.
They haven’t revealed how
Mr Wilson died but the ABC
reports a post-mortem revealed
he had suffered “si nificant
injuries”.
The accused was due to
appear at Perth magistrates
court on Thursday July 14 and
police are asking anyone with
info to contact them through
Crime Stoppers.

Heritage ho-hum
THERE were just two entries
in the City of Perth’s heritage
awards this year.
The entrants in the hotly
contested field were the
restoration of St Georges College
at 44 Mounts Bay Road and the
RPH Heritage Society for its
community achievements.
The winner is still
confidential all we know is
there was one “unsuccessful
applicant” and the other is up
for the $10,000 main prize.
When the awards were last
held in 2014, there was a paltry
ei ht applicants and staff
say there hasn’t been much
happening since then.
“The lower participation rate
is re ecti e of the amount of
development and restoration
work on heritage places within
the city since 2014,” the report
found.
taff will re iew the awards
then report back to council in the
coming months on whether an
overhaul is needed.

red ta p e to g o
by DAVID BELL
BAYSWATER council is
reducing the red tape
to encourage the city’s
restaurants to take up streetside dining.
In theory local governments
should roll out the red carpet
for anyone wanting chairs and
tables on the footpath, as it saves
them from having to splash
out on furniture or artworks to
“activate” their streets.
But for years Bayswater’s
forced restaurateurs to get
full planning approval and an
alfresco dining licence, along the
way slugging them a $25.60 fee
for each chair and $147 for the
development application fee.
Those charges have been
dropped and planning approval
has been replaced with a simple
licence mayor Barry McKenna
says will ”streamline the process
so it now takes less time and is
less of a hassle”.
The move is one of the
initiatives of the Red Tape
Reduction Working Group,
chaired by Cr Chris Cornish
along with Catherine Ehrhardt,
ohn ifici and rent Fleeton.
“I personally am a believer
in a small, lean government
which minimises interference in
people’s lives,” says Cr Cornish.
“I believe that existing
rules and processes need to
be questioned, that people
shouldn’t simply accept things
just because that’s the way it’s
been done, and I am fortunate to
be in a position where I can hear
residents’ concerns and advocate
on their behalf for change when
required.”
The working group’s
got a few more irons in the
fire like puttin to ether
templates for people to submit
tra c mana ement or risk
management plans if they want
to put on events.
Currently it’s a jargonheavy process that virtually
insurmountable for an indy
youngster wanting to hold a
pop-up market one Sunday.
“All forms of government
can become unwieldy as
historic rules and processes are
followed,” Cr Cornish says.
“The red tape reduction working
group can assess whether
interactions with the city are as
simple and e cient as possi le.

Conductor’s Notes
Conductors Notes by Ollivier-Philippe Cunéo
World Premiere - Cunéo - Le Verre Siffleur
Le Verre Si eur is the caf at the end of my street in Paris. It is in a building
from the turn of the twentieth century and the d cor is art nouveau. The
atmosphere is relaxed and informal, the staff are young and friendly and
the food is a mix of traditional French cuisine, and dishes from Asia and
elsewhere. This fusion of styles and avours inspired me to fuse musical
elements from the early twentieth century, a period in musical history that
I love, into a work I hope is fun and friendly ust like Le Verre Si eur. While
my composition is not narrative, it does evoke for me a series of changing
scenes and moods inspired by the caf : a lone waiter waitress opening
up at dawn, the caf gradually coming to life, the hustle and bustle of the
evening, and so on. At the work’s core is an elegy to the victims of the
November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, many of whom were gunned down
as they en oyed a meal or a drink at their local caf .
Haydn 44 and Mozart 29
One of the constraints and challenges that I enjoyed while composing
Le Verre Si eur, was writing for a Classical orchestra, that is the type of
orchestra that Haydn and Mozart were writing for in the 1770s. The two
classical symphonies on this programme are two such gems. Haydn was
already recognized as one of the leading composers of his time and the
Mourning’ symphony is a fine example with its passionate, agitated themes.
It also shows his sophistication and skill as a composer, particularly in the
minuet, which is a double canon and the beautiful slow movement, which
he asked to have played at his funeral.
Mozart’s A major symphony is an early masterpiece, composed when he
was ust 18. It is over owing with charm and vitality, and the slow movement
is as poignant as Haydn’s.
Sally Boud plays Hoffmeister
Hoffmeister, was a friend of both Haydn and Mozart and even published
some of their works. He was a prolific composer and wrote especially
well for strings. His charming Viola Concerto exploits the beauty of the
instrument and is a standard for all viola players. I look forward to working
with Sally Boud again and to hearing her interpretation of this work.
“A special thank you to the Fremantle Chamber Orchestra and its
director Hans Hug, for commissioning my composition and making
these concerts happen. It is a rare privilege to compose a work for and
conduct its world premiere with such a fine orchestra.”

A NEW interpretive artwork
installed at Weld Square has
been unveiled, revealing
the little-known story of the
Coolbaroo League Social
Club.
Coolbaroo was a social club
for Aboriginal people, operating
at a time they’d been banned
from entering the city without
a “native pass” by the state’s
chief protector of Aborigines,
AO Neville. The club operated
in several locations, but its
most familiar was on Newcastle
Street, right on the border of the
forbidden zone.
Vincent deputy mayor Ros
Harley opened the new artwork.
“ t was a er di cult time
when Aboriginal people were
essentially excluded from the
economic and social enefits
of being able to move freely
in the city,” said Cr Harley,
inaugural chair of the city’s
new Reconciliation Action Plan
group.
“When people talk about
‘can’t you move on and forget
it’, there are still people alive
toda who were affected
that
restricted area... think about the
economic impact of that, the
hurdles people faced.”
Weld Square was once a
wetland where Aboriginal
people camped, but it gained
renewed si nificance in the
1900s as its southern edge
bordered Newcastle Street and
the prohibited era.
The Coolbarooo League
formed in 1946 to improve civil
rights for Indigenous people, as
access to health and education
was extremely limited. The name
means magpie, and was chosen
ecause it si nified lack and
white coming together.
Activist Helena Clarke was
one of the founders, setting out
to scrap the prohibited area
laws along with elders Thomas
Bropho, Bertha Isaacs and Bill
Bodney.
Social side
Along with politics, the
League had its social side too,
and became an important focal
point for Aboriginal people to
meet and socialise.
A Daily News headline
from March 18, 1947 reported
“Aborigines, Half-Castes Have
Weekly Dance, Social”.
The article says “an average
of 300 aborigines and half-castes
attend a weekly dance and social
at East Perth Pensioners’ Hall”.
Vincent library’s local
historian Julie Davidson’s study
of the era says events were
family oriented and “people
were encouraged to perform and
the offered a safe creati e and
entertaining environment, with
no alcohol allowed”.
“Beauty competitions became
part of their calendar, with the
first iss ool aroo crowned in
December 1947. White people
could attend by invitation only.”
It was mostly trouble free, but
a i fi ht at a dance spilled onto
the nearby railway line and the
league was barred from the East
Perth Pensioners Hall.
By this time Helena Clarke
had returned to Port Headland
for her family, but some original
members formed the New
Coolbaroo Club in 1950 at the
Braille Hall on the corner of
Newcastle and Stirling Streets.
The weekly dances continued.
They held annual balls in larger
venues like the Blue Room.
Nat King Cole and the
Harlem Globe Trotters visited,
and in 1956 they invited whites
to their dance at Manchester
Unity Hall on William Street.
“NATIVES END BAN,
DANCE ATTENDED BY
WHITES” the May 12, 1956
edition of the Mirror screamed in
all-caps.
The club closed down in
1960 when key member Ronnie
Kickett died aged 29, though its
membership echoed through
later organisations, and the
Aboriginal Health Council
of WA traces its roots back to
people organising the weekly
dances on Newcastle Street.
The interactive pillar
designed by Jenny Dawson and
Noongar artist Sandra Hill was
installed for this year’s Naidoc
Week.
Along with images of key
fi ures the pillar is em la oned
with one of the “native passes,”
and accompanying oral stories
are available with a button press.

AFTER a fractious council meeting
Bayswater property owners face a
rates bump of an average 3.25 per
cent, more than twice CPI.
It took two meetings to pass the
budget and councillors were split over
it, with Chris Cornish and Brent Fleeton
walkin out of the first meetin after an
hour of debate.
At the time the council was in a 5/5
deadlock, and while other councillors
wanted a 30-minute informal chat about
getting it passed, but Cr Fleeton said
that wouldn t e su cient to resol e the
issues he had with the budget and he
walked away.
Cr Fleeton had wanted a 1 per cent
rate increase on the back of a savings
plan.
‘Not in control’
He’s been complaining for months that
councillors are frozen out of important
decisions like staff salar ne otiations
that could lock the organisation into big
wage increases for many years.
Cr Fleeton, who favours small local
governments focused on “rates, roads and
rubbish”, says without a hand in those
ne otiations which affect the a swater s
biggest recurrent overhead, “I strongly
suggest this council is not in control of
this city”.
Cr Cornish has concerns the council is
pulling cash from reserves to keep rates
artificiall low ut won t ha e enou h
left to maintain infrastructure.
The budget was passed second time
round but was still a bumpy debate with
Crs Cornish and Dan Bull voting nay, and
Cr Fleeton boycotting the meeting.
The longstanding 15 per cent resident
discount at Bayswater Waves and
Maylands Waterland (and now the Rise
centre) is on the chopping block this year,
but council’s yet to decide how much of
the discount to snip.
of the city, $196,000 on
other environmental
measures, $920,000 to
upgrade Bayswater Waves,
and $620,000 grand to
fi up the arious rust

town.
Mayor Barry McKenna
called it a “prudent”
budget and says they
strove to limit the rate
rise “to no more than was
needed”.

No drone rangers
by DAVID BELL
DRONES will not replace rangers at
Bayswater council. Yet.
The council poured cold water on the
idea after resident Ian Walters suggested
robo-rangers could monitor parking.
He’s been dobbing in illegal parkers
at the corner of Lawrence and Beaufort
Streets near Chisholm College in Bedford
but says “the parking breaches continue
unabated”.
He can’t get answers about the number
of breaches there, and during formal
question time to council complained:
“It is astonishing to learn the city’s
corporate systems are unable to accurately
generate a reporting list for the number of
infringements and warnings issued for a
particular defined area.”
Bayswater has four dedicated rangers
and 11 that double as security officers
and he wonders whether that’s enough.
“Will the council consider the
purchase of photographic drones to be
used by the rangers to monitor any part
of the City of Bayswater to detect illegal
parking?” Mr Walters asked.
“I am informed the cost is minimal.”
Alas, no luck for robo-fans. The
city answered it’s “not currently
investigating drones for monitoring
parking” and hasn’t set aside budget
cash for drones for “any other ranger
tasks” either. The council’s reply to Mr
Walters said the rangers will base their
schedules around frequency of breaches
at a spot, resident complaints and local
knowledge, but they have a lot on their
plate: “Rangers carry out a large number
of duties to enforce a wide variety of
legislation”.

Grab A Seat At Tigerville...
The Nannup Music
Festival needs you!
Help us get twenty picnic
benches and grab a seat
in the Tigerville garden
with us in March.
The Festival
Nannup is a small historic timber
town in the centre of Western
Australia’s stunning Southwest, on
the banks of the beautiful Blackwood River. The Nannup Music
Festival is held annually over the WA
Labour Day long weekend over
which the town comes alive with
markets, performances and activities. It is an amazing and inspiring
weekend and a special place to
share a Festival experience with
family and friends.
The Festival, now in its 28th year, is a
community event operated by a
passionate and dedicated team of
Staff and Committee from the
not-for-profit Nannup Music Club.
In addition, around 300 volunteers
join us every year to offer their help
and be part of the magic.
To ensure the Festival’s longevity,
we rely heavily on grants, sponsorships and donations. We also strive
to constantly improve our venues
and offer fresh experiences to our
patrons.
The Project
In 2017, we‘re redesigning our
Tigerville venue in order to create a
licensed garden vibe where you will
be able to grab a seat and enjoy live
performances and maybe share a
table and a conversation with other
festival goers. Extra seating is also
needed at our Food Markets area
for all of you to comfortably enjoy
our yummy selection of street food
on offer. Our heart is set on 20 metal
frame and timber picnic benches to
solve the Festival’s lack of seating
problem once and for all.
Hardly, as Perth council
works on a new signage policy
to remove some of the red
tape surrounding advertising
material and pave the way for
large electronic signs - but Keeps
a strict hand on where they’ll be
allowed.
Under the new rules it’ll be
much easier to have a sign on a
building that relates to what’s
actually sold there, and even
third party signs with Brad Pitt
awkwardly advertising perfume
or whatever will have a little
more leeway.
The council still wants them
Big electronic signs have
been hotly debated when before
the council (just last month the
council knocked back a 70sqm
sign on St George’s Terrace as
“inappropriate”) but under the
policies they’ll be easier to get
through, as long as they comply
with various criteria.
The big signs will
be restricted to public
entertainment and retail places
where people gather (such as
Forrest Place), and the top of
buildings greater the 29 metres
high where only the name of the
building or the tenants will be
permitted. The new easy-going
policy will go out to advertising
and then back to council for a
final decision.
Unfortunately our budget does not
allow us any additional expenses
but that’s not enough to stop us
from dreaming big!
How you can help
So, our idea was to venture into the
brave new world of fundraising and
ask for your donations – big or small
– in order to be able to include 20
picnic benches in our venue equipment for 2017 and the years to
come. Every donation will go
directly into the project.
Moreover, as part of a state-wide
prisoner community work program,
a number of prisoners at Bunbury
WA assist with working on community projects throughout the
South-West region. Within the
Festival’s philosophy of inclusivity
and community, we aim to commission the Bunbury Regional Prison
for the job.
We’d love for you to become
partners in this Festival project and
to grab a seat and share the garden
magic with us in March 2017!

sparking up your intelligence and your delight. You are arcing up in anticipation. The trick this week is going to be how to rein your inclinations in and hang out for the best moment. It might take a week. Meanwhile, hone your vision. You need a vision. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
It’s a lovely thing when earth and water work together. This is what the feeling is for you these days. As you build whatever it is you are
building, so life and people are being responsive. You
act, and there is positive effect (and affect). Use this moment to be as generous as you can be.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
For as long as the Sun has been in
Cancer, about three weeks now, you have been feeling a bit of an existential mismatch. You want to go one way and life seems to be gong
in another. With Venus now in Leo, that has changed
a little. As you wait, so life is offering you some
entertainment.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
There’s a lot of healing energy
around at the moment. Mars, who’s
in Scorpio, is strongly linked with Chiron, the Shaman, the Healer asteroid. It is our wounds that teach us the art of healing; but only if we face them with an open heart and listen closely. Explore the art of deep listening.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Moon begins her week in Sagittarius. She charges you up with feeling. Bearing
in mind that Saturn remains in your midst, providing
you with either wisdom or obstacles, this could go
either way. If you are in love with going slowly, great. If not, expect some intriguing emotionality. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Life is feeding you support from those who
have really got enough weight that their
support means something. You are also being given a
clear message and the attendant impetus, to expand, to move on. Nothing remains the same. To embrace this,
is to live in a constantly creative existence. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Relationship is your focus. It is of central importance. And yet, you may feel
yourself sailing alone on a vast unpeopled ocean,
contemplating relationship’s vagaries rather than
it’s blessings. Consider the ways you have put the
occasional spanner in the works. Self-reflection is gold. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Sagittarian Moon shakes you out of your reverie early in the week. It slings you an arrow of truth, that has the effect of helping you
to move from where you have been marooned. It in no way hurts to get one’s tyres on the road, to get traction.
As you move, so life responds beautifully.

Lord of
the Flies
Win a double pass to see
Harbour Theatre’s new production
It is the beginning of World War II and
children are being sent away from the
cities of England for safety. One plane
load of boys doesn’t make it to their final
destination, crashing into a deserted
island, with no adults surviving. At first,
the boys revel in their freedom, it is an
adventure! As time passes, tensions and
fears arise. Soon, the boys’ fragile sense of
order begins to collapse, island life taking
a turn towards the primitive & sinister. It is
not a game now, it is a fight for survival -
the world of cricket, homework, & adventure
stories is far away.
Lord of the Flies plays at Harbour Theatre
on July 29, 30, Aug 1, 3, 5 & 6 at 7.30pm
with matinees on July 31, Aug 6 and Aug 7
at 2.00pm.
Tickets are $25.50 Full, $23.50
Concession and $20.50 F.T Student or child

W
HEN it comes to sex
appeal, the Italian
Tenors leave Shades
of Grey in - well - the shade
and Madame Ciccone seems
a tinny-titted support act.
With a mix of pop/opera,
sass, suits and seductive
songs the easy-on-the-eye
trio’s YouTube promos are
backdropped by drop-dead
gorgeous Italian settings and
enough slow-mo and soft
lighting to have any cougar
licking her lips.
Conservatory
They weren’t always destined
for the stage, but luckily for the
female half of the planet, fate
intervened.
Mirko Provini held a
sociology degree and looked set
for a career in academia, while
Evans Tonon was studying to be
a lawyer.
Sabino Gaita is the only
member of the trio who set out
to be a musician, studying at the
Milan conservatory where he
ualified as a tenor composer
saxophonist, clarinet player and
pianist.
Having abandoned a career
Italians bring opera
to a sexy new level
at the bar Tonon studied music
in London and Rome, while
Provini added a music degree
from the Milan conservatory to
his academic bow.
The Three Tenors (Pavarotti,
Domingo and Carreras) proved
opera could be popular: “They
were the first to start this kind
of idea which is imitated by
many groups around the world,”
Tonon says.
Luckily for the female
half of the planet,
fate intervened
Playful even about
classic music, the trio named
themselves after a UK-mate’s
cliched view of Italians.
“[He] said ‘when we think of
Italians they are good cooks –
and good singers’,” Tonon told
the Herald.
The tenors are heading Down
Under for a tour and the launch
of a new album.
“We create a whole new
and fired atmosphere with our
interpretations of Italian pop
songs,” Provini says in a press
release.
Their Perth show is a mix of
the classics and Italian pop, sung
with a operatic fillip onon sa s.
They include Speak Softly
Love from the movie The
Godfather – sung in Italian:
“Hallelujah is the only nonItalian song,” Tonon says.
here s nothin stu l
highbrow about the Italian
Tenors, with plenty of hamming
up: “We put in some fun to
connect with people. “We like to
have fun on stage.”
But there’s nothing funny
about the passion the trio bring
with them: “It is for us as Italians
to create a breathtaking mix of
passion and culture to build our
own composed world. That’s
always a concept of our work,”
Tonon says.
The Italian Tenors are at the
Astor Theatre, September 10. Tix

F E A TU RE
Perth all jazzed up
Vince Jones has set the benchmark
for Australian Jazz artists since
his emergence in the jazz clubs of
Melbourne in the late 70s and early
80s. His 20 album, international
career has never hesitated in its
musical evolution - a career played
in the moment. He is that rare genredefying artist who creates music
without borders. From Iris DeMent’s
folk “Our Town” to his original piano
heavy, new age “Wonderworld”,
he comments, sometimes
uncomfortably, about the world we
live in from an unashamedly idealistic
perspective. His intuitive readings
of the Great American Songbook
are sensitively true to composer and
artist.
Vince is also a wonderful trumpet
player. His style has developed a
distinctive reserve and subtlety. He
plays a little less and draws a good
deal more from it than he did in
early days. A brief, thoughtful solo
from Vince is worth a hundred notes
played with less discretion. Particular
about the musical company he
keeps, he’s enjoyed playing with the
best musicians the country has to
offer and his shows coming up at The
Fly By Night Club and The Ellington
Jazz Club will be no exception. He’s
in Quartet mode along with three of
the country’s finest jazz players; Matt
McMahon (piano), Brett Hirst (bass)
and local Ben Vanderwal(drums).

Tenors that formed in 2012 and released
their successful album “Viva la Vita” in
2014. They are now a worldwide pop-opera
phenomenon. The three Italian Opera singers
Mirko Provini, Sabino Gaita and Evans Tonon
do an unbelievable balancing act between
Classical arias and popular Pop hits.
The Australian tour promises all the Italian

Gen-y drives
art revival
• From page 1
“For an artist to find us all
the way from over east and
seek us out, that’s a proud
little moment for me,” Mr
Flavel told the Voice.
“She said I’ve been
watching you guys for over
six months, I want to do a
show in WA, and I want to
do it with you. I was blown
away.”
While some galleries
are downsizing or even
shutting, Flavel says they
need more space. They’re
currently extending to
make a permanent space for
emerging artists to have their
works on show on short-term
leases with no commission.
“The Perth art scene is
going through a massive
revolution,” he says. “You’ve
got great artists going
underground, doing little
pop up shops themselves.”
The problem is they’re
often ill-suited to the
purpose, with bad lighting,
bad display spaces, and they
disappear as fast as they pop
up meaning punters coming
back to secure the deal are
confronted with an empty
space.
“It’s hard to build
momentum and get buyers
in. That’s why we built this
thing: We want to have a
permanent space that on
any day of the year you can
look at this space and there
will be artwork in there...
it’ll be raw and underground
but readily available to
anybody. All these artists and
underground shows, they’re
doing really well, but they
need a better spot.”
Kathryn Gallagher’s solo
exhibition runs July 14 to
August 6 at 281 Guildford

With voices powerful
enough to shatter chandeliers
Shaw and Cooper Smyth belt
out a mix of opera and pop in
their show Licence to Trill that
promises dressing room gossip
and Hollywood glam.
The pair are sassy and
talented divas who have taken
on the fickle world of art to
turn singing into a business.
If you want to work in the
music industry in WA you can’t
rely on jobs from other people,
Ms Shaw says.
“You have no power, and
I found it frustrating waiting
for the phone to ring, hoping
someone wants you.”
Cooper Smyth comes
from a business background,
including public relations for
Andrew Lloyd Webber in the
UK.
The pair were initially rivals
for parts in the WA Opera
chorus, and their show hams
up their initial stand-off.
Licence to Trill is a cocktail
of opera and pop and is a great
introduction for kids, Shaw
says.
“They might not want to sit
through three hours, but kids
in my experience really enjoy
opera.”
The JCCA show is a helping
hand for mate Adele Carles
who is raising money for Edna
Adan in Somaliland.
Ms Adan built her own
maternity hospital 14 years
ago, where she’s reduced the
mother/infant mortality rates,
and is campaigning to end
the horrific practice of female
genital mutilation.
Licence to Trill is on at
JCCA July 16, 6.30pm. Tix at
