SHAUN WAKE-MAZEY: PAINTINGS
17 January - 15 February 2025 | Albany Town Hall
Wake-Mazey’s imposing large-scale abstract oil paintings fill the gallery with passionate use of violent colour and harsh tonal contrasts charged with emotion.
They conceptually occupy the space between the earth and the heavens – a transcendental space affirming that the artist is seeking the essence of spirit that is universal.
Open: 17 January - 15 February
Albany Town Hall, 217 York Street
Tuesday - Saturday, 10-5pm

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.
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.
