'View of Albany from Princess Royal Harbour', Mimi Tong, Albany, Western Australia
Project Title:View of Albany from Princess Royal Harbour, Western Australia c. December 2009
Artists: Mimi Tong
Community: Albany
Partner: NewArts Inc & MIX Artists
Residency Dates: 17 November-12 December 2009
Exhibition Dates: 17 June-4 July 2010 29 June-10 July 2010 (Albany Public Library)
During 2009 and 2010, Sydney-based artist, Mimi Tong, spent two months in the southern town of Albany. Inspired by the maritime explorers who created the first recorded views of Albany's coastline from the sea, and informed by current local debates about waterfront development, the focus of Tong's project became the contemporary coastal landscape of Albany.
Like the maritime explorers before her, Tong documented the coastline from onboard a pilot vessel in Princess Royal Harbour. Making the most of the advantages of digital photography, these images were used by Tong to create a highly detailed drawing of over six metres presented in the format of a concertina book. Tong's exceptional rendering of the landscape includes key local landmarks such as the Grain Silo, Albany Entertainment Centre, the Brig Amity and Wind Farm. Presented on a shelf that enables close viewing, the folded format of the drawing echoes the undulating lines of the Albany coastline and documents the landscape of a city in transition.

Little Library Stolen in Albany
ALBANY -- An unusual theft in the Pine hills neighborhood in Albany.
A family there has a little free library in the front of their yard - a box they fill with books for anyone to take - but that's not what the thief or thieves made off with.
Kaira Kristbergs, who owned the box, said Had they stolen the books we would have been so pleased. That's the goal. Take the books, read them. But instead they took the box that holds the free books which is kind of a very mean, vindictive thing to do.
They're now looking for anyone who has an old newspaper box they can use as a replacement.
And if you have any information of who may have stolen the box, give Albany police a call.
