Curated by Mark Bayly

‘New Faces’ was an Australian talent show that ran on television from 1963 to 1985. The program was an energetic, low-brow combination of all-dancing, all singing form of exhibitionism that rated well with peak hour viewers and advertisers alike. The works in this exhibition resonate with aspects of popular culture in a similar manner, from transgressive drag artists, to actors, models, and those who perform and celebrate their identities through gender or sexuality. ‘New Faces’: come on down and join the fun.
