Love Is In The Air by The Huxleys

A joyful surreal interlude of music and movement, channeling queer utopias and the divine androgynous spirit of glam. 

Will and Garrett Huxley (Aus/Gumbaynggirr/Yorta Yorta) are Australian based collaborative visual and performance artists. The Huxleys are a dynamic duo of cataclysmic proportions who present queer spectacle and disco enthused wizardry across the visual art, performance and fashion worlds. 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, New York, Arles and Hong Kong.
