Bronze statues of entertainers John Farnham, Kylie Minogue and Dame Edna have been moved out of storage after about 10 years and installed for public display, according to reports from Brisbane and Melbourne. Both outlets describe the statues as controversial and as featuring several of Australia’s best-known performers. While the statues are now given a new location, the reports note that their placement is not in central Brisbane or Melbourne’s CBD, but elsewhere, leaving them some distance from the main downtown areas. The articles characterize the return as a delayed release from storage rather than an immediate, widely publicized unveiling, highlighting the long period the works spent kept away from public view before being relocated. The sources do not provide new details on the commissioning, artistic process, or the reasons for the storage period, but they agree on the broad timeline and outcome: the statues are finally displayed after a decade held in storage, with installation occurring outside the CBD.
