Last Night.................................
The Monkey would like to say a big THANK YOU to Yolanda Stapleton for putting together an amazing evening opening to the Super Super Sampler exhibition. There was a wonderful turnout and a very appreciative audience for the exhibition. Congratulations Yolanda and also for having the most fantastic Dad! Ron, worked so hard all night helping everything to run smoothly. “Yeh Ron!!!” (Monkey screams!)
A big congratulations to Lloyd Hughes who won the Best In Show award for his unique approach to using the supersampler camera. Prizes courtesy of exhibition sponsors Fitzgerald Photo Imaging, Pigeonhole and Lomography Australia. Well done Lloyd and indeed to all exhibitors – Flexhaus, Gav Fielding, Nathan Martella, Russell Winter & Yolanda Stapleton. (Monkey claps loudly!).
The People’s Choice award is still open and votes are being taken during the duration of the exhibition, so make sure you put yours in! (Monkey offers pen!)
If you didn’t make it last night the exhibition runs daily until January 25th so do make sure you check it out! (Monkey wags fingers!)

The Irony Of The Lightbulb Series By Fred Suicide
As featured in the West Weekend magazine, Behind the Monkey is delighted to display a mix of Fred’s smaller Toy Art Sculptures.
About the Series
The light bulb – invented by Humphrey Davy (although some say Thomas Edison) has, through mass world consumption, become a recycling issue in itself.
Fred finds he can breathe a new life into light bulbs that have suicided on the rubbish heap using lego men that have suffered long and hard in the playroom……..such a bright idea!
About The Artist
FRED SUICIDE
perth – western australia
(born in Sydney; raised in Lebanon, Fred Suicide left Tripoli to study abroad at the age of 18 and after living in Sweden and California, settled in Perth six years ago.)
Fred has been experimenting with the amazing art form of transforming and sculpturing used and discarded toys after switching career paths from engineering a few years back. He has no formal art training but has adapted the skills learnt over the years while studying engineering to create his artworks.
Fred’s toys reflect Australia’s recycling culture. He has spent hours at the tip, at garage sales and can often be found in an op-shop on the fringes of Perth looking for pieces of Lego and other toys that have been rejected by past owners. In a dedicated quest to reuse and re-invent he will often go to the lengths of mixing his own epoxy from discarded glues – or melting down the wax from cheese wheels – using springs from watches, a head from a dinosaur with the hair from a Barbie………so wonderfully weird they play with your head!

Chaos & Drama
Selected pics from the Chaos & Drama Book & Exhibition Launch on 19th September featuring the work of photographer Seng Mah.
Photographs by Brett Dorron and David Savage
_______________________________________________________________________________
Exhibition running until 12th October 2008 in the Cracked Gallery.
THE 2008 STORY - CHAPTER 7 - "CHAOS AND DRAMA''
"Monkey's don't live in Greece" sighed Keeper.
"So". said the Monkey
"Seng Mah tells me that Greece is a place where nothing is as it seems".
“I, THE MONKEY, want to go there - expose myself to an environment which is wonderfully and richly unfamiliar".
Keeper thought to herself that she exposed herself each day to an environment which was also wonderfully and richly unfamiliar - try working in a store with a Monkey!
"Talk about Chaos and Drama" she muttered out loud.
"That's what I'm talking about Keeper - Chaos and Drama - Seng's photographic exhibition and exploration of the rich, chaotic tapestry of Greek life. Photographs that are less about the external landscape of Greece and more about his internal feelings of isolation and loneliness while traveling solo and how he reacted to these travel experiences. Seng has a way of revealing the unexpected in his images and it looks so different............"
"the individual stories, characters and landscapes that he has drawn out in these images show the powerful emotions that emerge from traveling around Athens, Crete and the Cycladic Islands - it reveals a different side to this land - and - I, THE MONKEY –
-want to experience it too......"
(……and I, the Keeper will enjoy a drink on opening night – see attached invitation and I’m about to RSVP now to Seng! Phew!)
