DAMnº is a highly respected international magazine on contemporary culture, with a broad international focus on the worlds of design, architecture and art. The article, by Scoop writer Nathan Scolaro, traces the project from its genesis in 2006, through the six-week 1800km bush-studio trip, to the final acquisition and exhibition of 113 works at the National Museum of Australia.

What do you do?

Following a very successful 2009, Alda’s will mark the first exhibition of 2010 with Perth artist, Gian Manik, who will be presenting a solo project entitled Others. Returning from a three month residency at The Gunnery Artspace in Sydney, Manik will present new work in both the upstairs gallery and project space.

Manik explains, “This work explores the attraction of the ‘Other’ through perceptual references of my body. Various filmic inspired makeshift components such as costumes, props and paintings are used to explore the border between familiar and unfamiliar objects and spaces. The anonymous figures and accompanying settings speak of possible events that are about to occur or which have already taken place.”

The exhibition will be open from the 8th January to the 5th February. Please join us at Alda’s on opening night, Friday 8th January at 6pm til late.
