A few weeks ago we checked out the See-Saw exhibition at The Butcher Shop. This all Perth exhibition was to celebrate Open House Perth. Most of the works were on vintage timber saws (hence the name) and it was impressive to see how the different artists had worked with their canvas.

Although The Butcher Shop is a small venue, the recently added outside area gave a comfortable social space to the event. Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite as annoying as trying to see an artwork with some dude’s scone in the way. The gallery was left free for the perusal of the awesome art, while the chitchat and catch-ups were carried out in the courtyard – win-win.

I loved that The Butcher Shop had included a program for viewing legal street works, done as a part of the exhibition. After all, See-Saw is a celebration of  architecture, landscape and public art. Street art plays a huge part in the personality of a city and it’s always good to see it represented in a positive way.

Still time to check the show out for yourself, be quick though – exhibition ends the 25th of November.
