Description
In the heart of the 1970s, amidst a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru (Steve Carell) is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making back-up from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto - a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please - deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons, and pull off their first missions.
When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin), Gru interviews to become their newest member. It doesn't go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
Paul Caporn presents a series of 2D and 3D works that reflect on the emergence of things.
Dates:Jun 25 - Jul 23
Venue:Art Collective WA

Description
Best summed up by the 17th century chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier: ‘nothing is created and nothing is destroyed but everything is transformed.’ The moment of loading Instagram images and the discarded sprues of plastic model-making take on new life.
In this exhibition the sculptural work similar to the 2D works is drawn from an otherwise overlooked material. Sprue 2 is made from the sprues of the plastic-model making process. Generally discarded once the model is made, the sprue’s importance is no longer potent; it becomes the cast off from the production process. In the case of plastic model-making the sprue also provides the key and instructions to how the model is built, and where the final pieces exist once complete.
Both these series of works reflect on the process of the emergence of things best summed up by this quote from the 17th century chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier; “nothing is created and nothing is destroyed but everything is transformed."'
