Gender Fluids
Frankston Arts Centre presents

Gender Fluids

Gender Fluids pays tribute to the ingenuity and resilience of the natural world. Honouring the gender fluidity of specific sea creatures. Capturing their luminescent glory in playful, sparkling tableaus. Featuring photography, costume and video art by The Huxleys.

Will and Garrett Huxley (Aus/Gumbaynggirr/Yorta Yorta) are Melbourne-based collaborative performance and visual artists. Who work together as The Huxleys.

The Huxleys are a dynamic duo of cataclysmic proportion who present camp commentary and spectacle across the visual art, performance and entertainment sectors. Their photography and performance art traverses the classifications of costume, film and recording. A visual assault of sparkle, surrealism and the absurd, The Huxleys saturate their practice and projects with a glamorous, androgynous freedom which sets out to bring some escapism and magic to everyday life. Since 2014 The Huxleys have performed, exhibited and participated in numerous exhibitions, projects and events in Australia, and internationally in London, Berlin, Moscow and Hong Kong. Solo presentations, performances and commissions include the Melbourne International Arts Festival; Melbourne Fashion Week; Sydney Contemporary; Hong Kong Design Week; Heide Museum of Modern Art; Art Bank, Melbourne; NGV; AGNSW; QAGOMA; AGSA; AGWA and the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra; The Huxleys first came to prominence during the early years of MONA FOMA and Dark Mofo in Tasmania. The Huxleys photographs are included in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra; HOTA, Gold Coast; The Besen Foundation, Melbourne and the Pictures Collection at the State Library of Victoria. The Huxleys consist of Will and Garrett Huxley. To show solidarity with the flight for gay marriage Garrett took on Will’s surname. This was also to commemorate their ongoing love and connection as partners of over 15 years. In the early days of working together when Will and Garrett would show up in costume, performers and audiences would say “look the Huxleys are here!” and this kept happening so they decided to adopt the joining of their names as a message of love and unity through their relationship and work and have continued working with this artistic moniker, gifted to them by the artistic community of Melbourne which they love and adore.

The Huxleys live and work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and wish to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, paying respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
