There were tales of last-minute spit and polish, a bomb-scare evacuation, and the artist even hanging his own paintings, but the opening of Outré Gallery Perth on Friday night went off with a Shebang!

It’s a great thing to have Shag ~ aka Mr Josh Agle ~ in Perth again, and he was at his amusing, bon vivant best (well, we were well-lubricated, esp. after some cocktail indulgence at Deville’s).

Check out the new 260 William St space and the exhibition ‘Inscrutable Mystery Guide’ – the paintings must be viewed in full panoramic splendor. It’s up for 3 weeks.
