The Huxleys – DisGraceland at Abbortsford Convent

Arts, Fashion & Beauty, Performing Arts, Visual Arts

Will from The Huxleys joins us to discuss their new exhibition DisGraceland at Abbotsford Convent.

DisGraceland sees The Huxleys on a wild road trip across rural Victoria for a lurid fever dream capturing the story of two queer alien Elvis’s trying to make it home. The Huxleys embrace the camp, unorthodox presence of how Elvis would have first appeared in small-town USA in the 1950s. Rewriting the history of rock ’n’ roll as a gay love story, The Huxleys have interpreted this in their own queer cosmic fashion. The duo created these photographs and costumes to speak to their continuing interest in escapism and otherworldly glamour.
