CULTURAL EVENTS
Being a former Deputy Mayor of the City of Perth, I am particularly interested in promoting cultural events in the heart of the city. Can the minister please outline how the Liberal-National government will attract a broader audience to our state’s cultural institutions? Mr J.H.D. DAY

It is wonderful that the culture and arts portfolio got the first question from the government side. On behalf of the member for Dawesville, I welcome students from South Mandurah Primary School, who are sitting in the Speaker’s gallery, and also acknowledge students from Lesmurdie Primary School from my own electorate who were here previously. One of the wonderful aspects of the culture and arts portfolio is the ability to experience the great diversity and depth of activity in the culture and arts arena around Western Australia from the traditional to the very contemporary and from the well known to new and emerging artists and performers. It is important that our major cultural institutions appeal to the wide range of population and age and various interests of people in Western Australia. There are two examples of how that is being achieved at the moment. One is at the Western Australian Museum in Perth, which is currently presenting Nick Cave: The Exhibition , which is obviously about the life, times and creativity of Nick Cave, who is a wonderful singer, as many members will know. Mr D.A. Templeman : You’d make a great mime. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I suggest that the member visit the exhibition because I am sure he would find it of interest. Mr M. McGowan : Name one song. Mr J.H.D. DAY : The Ship Song . The member should listen to it; he might enjoy it. Mr M. McGowan : Name two songs. Mr A.J. Carpenter : Into My Arms is the next one. It’s very good. Mr J.H.D. DAY : That is good to hear. I will come back to that. I can see a developing interest in this exhibition. Having had the pleasure of opening it on 22 May in the presence of, amongst many others, Martyn P. Casey, one of the members of Nick Cave’s current band, I can thoroughly recommend that members and anybody else visit this exhibition. Even if people do not have a great knowledge of Nick Cave’s creativity and art form, it is worth visiting because it is an exhibition that presents somebody’s life in all its aspects in a very interesting way. The exhibition has a range of different presentations, including lyrics chosen exclusively by Nick Cave to feature in the exhibition, his notebooks and diaries, a selection of photographs by Polly Borland and others and some of his manuscripts, not only of music and lyrics but also of some of the books that he has written. The exhibition was put together by the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Its tour around some cities of Australia, not all, is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian government program. I appreciate the contribution of the Australian government for funding that program. Mr D.A. Templeman interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister, I think we have some bad seeds. If the minister is able to finish his comments, I would appreciate it. Mr J.H.D. DAY : You are well informed, Mr Speaker. It is important to give due credit to some of the other artists in this state, including ericaamerica, the fashion designers and style-based visionaries. If members do not know anything about ericaamerica, I suggest they look them up on the internet. They have created an exhibition to go with the Nick Cave exhibition. I acknowledge also the contribution from the Belridge and Kent Street Senior High School students, who have prepared a fashion exhibition to go with this exhibition at the WA Museum. We now move onto the Art Gallery of Western Australia, another place I can strongly recommend members visit at the moment. Several members interjected. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I give due credit to the staff at the art gallery for developing the concept of the ARTBAR events, the first of which will commence tomorrow evening. There will be four events between tomorrow and September. Mr J.N. Hyde : Do you have an invite? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Indeed, I do. Do you? Mr J.N. Hyde : Where’s mine? Mr J.H.D. DAY : I am sure it is in the mail. I give the member for Perth credit for attending quite a number of arts events in the time he has been shadow minister. He has shown a genuine interest in some of the events, albeit 90 per cent of the material he puts out in his media statements is completely and utterly wrong. But I am sure there will be opportunities to educate him over the next couple of years or so! These particular events are designed to appeal to a different demographic and to get people into the art gallery after hours to enjoy some food and drink, to see the exhibition, to listen to groups such as The Basics and to hear people like Wil Anderson of the Gruen Transfer and Glass House ARIA award winner Tim Rogers, and Katie Noonan, who will be there on 17 September. I give credit to all the staff at the WA Museum and the Art Gallery of Western Australia who have been involved in organising these events and ensuring that those very important organisations are relevant to a broad range of Western Australians.

DAY : That is good to hear. I will come back to that. I can see a developing interest in this exhibition. Having had the pleasure of opening it on 22 May in the presence of, amongst many others, Martyn P. Casey, one of the members of Nick Cave’s current band, I can thoroughly recommend that members and anybody else visit this exhibition. Even if people do not have a great knowledge of Nick Cave’s creativity and art form, it is worth visiting because it is an exhibition that presents somebody’s life in all its aspects in a very interesting way. The exhibition has a range of different presentations, including lyrics chosen exclusively by Nick Cave to feature in the exhibition, his notebooks and diaries, a selection of photographs by Polly Borland and others and some of his manuscripts, not only of music and lyrics but also of some of the books that he has written. The exhibition was put together by the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Its tour around some cities of Australia, not all, is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian government program. I appreciate the contribution of the Australian government for funding that program. Mr D.A. Templeman interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister, I think we have some bad seeds. If the minister is able to finish his comments, I would appreciate it. Mr J.H.D. DAY : You are well informed, Mr Speaker. It is important to give due credit to some of the other artists in this state, including ericaamerica, the fashion designers and style-based visionaries. If members do not know anything about ericaamerica, I suggest they look them up on the internet. They have created an exhibition to go with the Nick Cave exhibition. I acknowledge also the contribution from the Belridge and Kent Street Senior High School students, who have prepared a fashion exhibition to go with this exhibition at the WA Museum. We now move onto the Art Gallery of Western Australia, another place I can strongly recommend members visit at the moment. Several members interjected. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I give due credit to the staff at the art gallery for developing the concept of the ARTBAR events, the first of which will commence tomorrow evening. There will be four events between tomorrow and September. Mr J.N. Hyde : Do you have an invite? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Indeed, I do. Do you? Mr J.N. Hyde : Where’s mine? Mr J.H.D. DAY : I am sure it is in the mail. I give the member for Perth credit for attending quite a number of arts events in the time he has been shadow minister. He has shown a genuine interest in some of the events, albeit 90 per cent of the material he puts out in his media statements is completely and utterly wrong. But I am sure there will be opportunities to educate him over the next couple of years or so! These particular events are designed to appeal to a different demographic and to get people into the art gallery after hours to enjoy some food and drink, to see the exhibition, to listen to groups such as The Basics and to hear people like Wil Anderson of the Gruen Transfer and Glass House ARIA award winner Tim Rogers, and Katie Noonan, who will be there on 17 September. I give credit to all the staff at the WA Museum and the Art Gallery of Western Australia who have been involved in organising these events and ensuring that those very important organisations are relevant to a broad range of Western Australians.

Mr J.H.D. DAY replied: It is wonderful that the culture and arts portfolio got the first question from the government side. On behalf of the member for Dawesville, I welcome students from South Mandurah Primary School, who are sitting in the Speaker’s gallery, and also acknowledge students from Lesmurdie Primary School from my own electorate who were here previously. One of the wonderful aspects of the culture and arts portfolio is the ability to experience the great diversity and depth of activity in the culture and arts arena around Western Australia from the traditional to the very contemporary and from the well known to new and emerging artists and performers. It is important that our major cultural institutions appeal to the wide range of population and age and various interests of people in Western Australia. There are two examples of how that is being achieved at the moment. One is at the Western Australian Museum in Perth, which is currently presenting Nick Cave: The Exhibition , which is obviously about the life, times and creativity of Nick Cave, who is a wonderful singer, as many members will know. Mr D.A. Templeman : You’d make a great mime. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I suggest that the member visit the exhibition because I am sure he would find it of interest. Mr M. McGowan : Name one song. Mr J.H.D. DAY : The Ship Song . The member should listen to it; he might enjoy it. Mr M. McGowan : Name two songs. Mr A.J. Carpenter : Into My Arms is the next one. It’s very good. Mr J.H.D. DAY : That is good to hear. I will come back to that. I can see a developing interest in this exhibition. Having had the pleasure of opening it on 22 May in the presence of, amongst many others, Martyn P. Casey, one of the members of Nick Cave’s current band, I can thoroughly recommend that members and anybody else visit this exhibition. Even if people do not have a great knowledge of Nick Cave’s creativity and art form, it is worth visiting because it is an exhibition that presents somebody’s life in all its aspects in a very interesting way. The exhibition has a range of different presentations, including lyrics chosen exclusively by Nick Cave to feature in the exhibition, his notebooks and diaries, a selection of photographs by Polly Borland and others and some of his manuscripts, not only of music and lyrics but also of some of the books that he has written. The exhibition was put together by the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Its tour around some cities of Australia, not all, is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian government program. I appreciate the contribution of the Australian government for funding that program. Mr D.A. Templeman interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister, I think we have some bad seeds. If the minister is able to finish his comments, I would appreciate it. Mr J.H.D. DAY : You are well informed, Mr Speaker. It is important to give due credit to some of the other artists in this state, including ericaamerica, the fashion designers and style-based visionaries. If members do not know anything about ericaamerica, I suggest they look them up on the internet. They have created an exhibition to go with the Nick Cave exhibition. I acknowledge also the contribution from the Belridge and Kent Street Senior High School students, who have prepared a fashion exhibition to go with this exhibition at the WA Museum.

DAY : The Ship Song . The member should listen to it; he might enjoy it. Mr M. McGowan : Name two songs. Mr A.J. Carpenter : Into My Arms is the next one. It’s very good. Mr J.H.D. DAY : That is good to hear. I will come back to that. I can see a developing interest in this exhibition. Having had the pleasure of opening it on 22 May in the presence of, amongst many others, Martyn P. Casey, one of the members of Nick Cave’s current band, I can thoroughly recommend that members and anybody else visit this exhibition. Even if people do not have a great knowledge of Nick Cave’s creativity and art form, it is worth visiting because it is an exhibition that presents somebody’s life in all its aspects in a very interesting way. The exhibition has a range of different presentations, including lyrics chosen exclusively by Nick Cave to feature in the exhibition, his notebooks and diaries, a selection of photographs by Polly Borland and others and some of his manuscripts, not only of music and lyrics but also of some of the books that he has written. The exhibition was put together by the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Its tour around some cities of Australia, not all, is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian government program. I appreciate the contribution of the Australian government for funding that program. Mr D.A. Templeman interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister, I think we have some bad seeds. If the minister is able to finish his comments, I would appreciate it. Mr J.H.D. DAY : You are well informed, Mr Speaker. It is important to give due credit to some of the other artists in this state, including ericaamerica, the fashion designers and style-based visionaries. If members do not know anything about ericaamerica, I suggest they look them up on the internet. They have created an exhibition to go with the Nick Cave exhibition. I acknowledge also the contribution from the Belridge and Kent Street Senior High School students, who have prepared a fashion exhibition to go with this exhibition at the WA Museum. We now move onto the Art Gallery of Western Australia, another place I can strongly recommend members visit at the moment. Several members interjected. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I give due credit to the staff at the art gallery for developing the concept of the ARTBAR events, the first of which will commence tomorrow evening. There will be four events between tomorrow and September. Mr J.N. Hyde : Do you have an invite? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Indeed, I do. Do you? Mr J.N. Hyde : Where’s mine? Mr J.H.D. DAY : I am sure it is in the mail. I give the member for Perth credit for attending quite a number of arts events in the time he has been shadow minister. He has shown a genuine interest in some of the events, albeit 90 per cent of the material he puts out in his media statements is completely and utterly wrong. But I am sure there will be opportunities to educate him over the next couple of years or so! These particular events are designed to appeal to a different demographic and to get people into the art gallery after hours to enjoy some food and drink, to see the exhibition, to listen to groups such as The Basics and to hear people like Wil Anderson of the Gruen Transfer and Glass House ARIA award winner Tim Rogers, and Katie Noonan, who will be there on 17 September. I give credit to all the staff at the WA Museum and the Art Gallery of Western Australia who have been involved in organising these events and ensuring that those very important organisations are relevant to a broad range of Western Australians.
On behalf of the member for Dawesville, I welcome students from South Mandurah Primary School, who are sitting in the Speaker’s gallery, and also acknowledge students from Lesmurdie Primary School from my own electorate who were here previously. One of the wonderful aspects of the culture and arts portfolio is the ability to experience the great diversity and depth of activity in the culture and arts arena around Western Australia from the traditional to the very contemporary and from the well known to new and emerging artists and performers. It is important that our major cultural institutions appeal to the wide range of population and age and various interests of people in Western Australia. There are two examples of how that is being achieved at the moment. One is at the Western Australian Museum in Perth, which is currently presenting Nick Cave: The Exhibition , which is obviously about the life, times and creativity of Nick Cave, who is a wonderful singer, as many members will know.

The exhibition was put together by the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Its tour around some cities of Australia, not all, is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian government program. I appreciate the contribution of the Australian government for funding that program. Mr D.A. Templeman interjected. The SPEAKER : Minister, I think we have some bad seeds. If the minister is able to finish his comments, I would appreciate it. Mr J.H.D. DAY : You are well informed, Mr Speaker. It is important to give due credit to some of the other artists in this state, including ericaamerica, the fashion designers and style-based visionaries. If members do not know anything about ericaamerica, I suggest they look them up on the internet. They have created an exhibition to go with the Nick Cave exhibition. I acknowledge also the contribution from the Belridge and Kent Street Senior High School students, who have prepared a fashion exhibition to go with this exhibition at the WA Museum. We now move onto the Art Gallery of Western Australia, another place I can strongly recommend members visit at the moment. Several members interjected. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I give due credit to the staff at the art gallery for developing the concept of the ARTBAR events, the first of which will commence tomorrow evening. There will be four events between tomorrow and September. Mr J.N. Hyde : Do you have an invite? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Indeed, I do. Do you? Mr J.N. Hyde : Where’s mine? Mr J.H.D. DAY : I am sure it is in the mail. I give the member for Perth credit for attending quite a number of arts events in the time he has been shadow minister. He has shown a genuine interest in some of the events, albeit 90 per cent of the material he puts out in his media statements is completely and utterly wrong. But I am sure there will be opportunities to educate him over the next couple of years or so! These particular events are designed to appeal to a different demographic and to get people into the art gallery after hours to enjoy some food and drink, to see the exhibition, to listen to groups such as The Basics and to hear people like Wil Anderson of the Gruen Transfer and Glass House ARIA award winner Tim Rogers, and Katie Noonan, who will be there on 17 September. I give credit to all the staff at the WA Museum and the Art Gallery of Western Australia who have been involved in organising these events and ensuring that those very important organisations are relevant to a broad range of Western Australians.
