Bo Janmaat - VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION
MEET ME IN THE STREET
A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION BY BO JANMAAT
After managing a photo and film studio in Amsterdam, Bo Janmaat emigrated to Australia in late 2003, opting for the Australian scenery and
intending to spend more time behind the camera.
Meet me in the Street is the result of a million steps immeasurable impressions and a zillion thoughts.
This exhibition is a compilation of images taken on the streets and in empty buildings in the Fremantle area ...graffiti, stencil/copy art,
posters in various states of disarray.
Bo hopes to illustrate how beautiful graffiti can be and reverse the negative stereotypes and this very fundamental ancient artform.
There are many faces in this exhibition, a source of endless fascination to the artist as a portrayal of self.
Meet Me in the Street also features pictures of cars in unusual settings, images of Borneo and portraits, a pastiche of the artist's journey.

LUKA BLOOM & SABRINA DINAN - Special Concert
LUKA BLOOM: Not only a tremendous guitarist but also a mesmerising performer, LUKA is one of the rare showmen who can fill two hours at ease with only a guitar in his hands. And in between, he knows how to mark himself with some funny blinding lyrics
SABRINA DINAN: The minute you hear her sing you will know you're in the presence of someone special. The smoky warmth of her voice is irresistible. Her songs range from upbeat passionate to so gentle and fragile that the audience seems to hold its breath during the intricate guitar picking.
