THE HUXLEYS: FANTASTIC VOYAGE
22 February - 22 March 2025 | Albany Town Hall
The Huxleys are a dynamic duo of cataclysmic proportions, presenting queer spectacle and disco-infused wizardry across the visual art, performance, and fashion worlds. Their photography and performance art traverse the realms of costume, film and recording.
With a visual assault of sparkle, surrealism, and absurdity, The Huxleys saturate their practice with glamorous, androgynous freedom, aiming to bring escapism and magic to everyday life.
Embark on a surreal journey through the luminescent landscapes of the glamorous art deviants as they look back on 10 years of photography, film, costume and chaos. This exhibition offers a magical detour from everyday life, inviting you to surrender yourself to a queer wonderland where too much is never enough.
Content Warning: This exhibition contains some adult themes, nudity and a lot of fabulous sparkle. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
Be sure not to miss the opportunity to experience The Huxleys live at the opening night on Friday 21 February, and join us for an insightful in-conversation artist talk event on Saturday 22 February.
