HISTORY

THE YEAR IS 2020

'RELICS: A New World Rises’ is the brainchild of Perth duo Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, mates from high school who shared a childhood love of LEGO®.

After winning the second season of Channel 9’s smash hit reality competition show LEGO® Masters in 2020, they were commissioned by WA arts organisation FORM to create an exhibition at The Goods Shed gallery in Perth. The only brief was to explore the bounds of their imagination. With a totally blank canvas, they set out to push beyond the conventional limitations of storytelling with LEGO®. The resultant exhibition, titled ‘RELICS: Bricks of the New World’ ran from February to May in 2021 and amassed an attendance of nearly 50,000 people.

FAST FORWARD TO 2024

RELICS has evolved - Jackson and Alex have stepped it up and expanded their original concept. Two years in the making, rebuilt from the ground up.

RELICS: A New World Rises smashed attendance records in its debut season- becoming the most successful ticketed show at the South Australian Museum in all of its 167-year history!

More Australian and International tour dates to be announced soon.
