Leigh Bowery (1961 - 1994) was an Australian performance artist, club promoter and fashion designer. Known for his conceptual, flamboyant and extravagant costumes and make-up, as well as his controversial live performances, Bowery was an important model and muse for English painter Lucian Freud and a friend and fellow performer of pop star Boy George. Embracing performance, club culture and fashion design, Bowery created some of the most iconic images of the 1980s and 1990s that continue to resonate, with his influence visible in the work of the likes of Alexander McQueen, Jeffrey Gibson, Anohni and Lady Gaga. This eclectic and immersive exhibition is a rare opportunity to experience many of Bowery’s ‘looks’ alongside his collaborations with artists including Michael Clark, Charles Atlas, Nick Knight, Fergus Greer, Stephen Willats, Nicola Rainbird, Mr Pearl and Lucian Freud.
