THE first of this year’s Transart temporary art projects has been put up, with Perth city council commissioning WA artist Richard Hammer’s kinetic sculpture MMM Energizer which is suspended from two trees in Stirling Gardens for 11 weeks. Allegedly it performs “a mesmerising dance for the viewer” but it was kinda lank when we had a look, more UMMM than Energizer, so maybe it needs higher winds. The next Transart project is by Matt Aitken and Mei Swan Lim, who are putting on the “Swamp Clubb” eco-ghost tour of the wetlands that used to flourish in the CBD and Northbridge from 1830 to 1880. That’s on May 6, 13, and 21, it’s free, and head to visitperthcity.com or call 9461 3181 for more info.
