Alex Miller https://www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/Your-council/News-and-media/Media-releases/2014/January/Film-launch-will-pay-tribute-to-street-art-in-(1).pdf Mr Hutchens said: “I absolutely love public art and was so stoked when the City of Subiaco invited me to make a video about this unique mural project. “The result, I think, is a film that’s not only about the role art can play in our public spaces, but also, how valuable understanding and incorporating history into art pieces is in terms of contributing to the vibrancy of our communities.” Filmmaker and Little Wing Corner Gallery joint-owner, J’aime Fazackerley commented on the opportunities that have been created for him through the city’s Works for Walls program. Mr Fazackerley said: “It’s been great to be part of the City of Subiaco’s Transition Zone project from start to finish. From filming at the site, editing the film, creating the soundtrack and then to have the Corner Gallery launch the project – it’s been a fascinating process.” https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/western-suburbs-weekly/gallery-comes-of-age-c-937981 Gallery comes of age Staff Reporter Western Suburbs Weekly January 28, 2014 12:00AM TOPICS Western Suburbs Weekly The hot pink art hub will premiere four short films that document the creative process behind City of Subiaco-commissioned public artwork over the past three years, including Transition Zone (a three-day project at the Bosich site featuring artist Jackson Harvey) that was filmed and photographed by gallery directors J’aime Fazackerley and Alex Miller. The Works for Walls event will also include films of the Hay Street underpass and Gold Lane murals, and a Subiaco Hotel artwork time-lapse. Mr Fazackerley said it would be a ‘whole new gallery experience’ combining film, photography, live music and a guest artist painting throughout the night. ‘Last year we had lots of people who live and work around here ask us what we’re all about ” they could hear the faint music or looked through the windows ” so this is our chance to invite the community to be a part of these art projects in Subiaco,’ Mr Fazackerley said. Mr Fazackerley said Subiaco developers Devwest last year gave him and Mr Miller its building rent-free while they waited on approval to redevelop. ‘Up until now, we have always worked under the assumption of borrowed time,’ he said. ‘We didn’t think we would be here that long, so we never made a real plan ” now we’re coming up with some really exciting concepts for this year.’ gallery directors J’aime Fazackerley and Alex Miller. http://www.littlewingcollective.com info@littlewingcollective.com
