The Commonwealth of New Bayswater regularly opens its borders around the same time as each Fremantle Biennale. The tiny state and ephemeral nation (with its permanent population of 1), has given visitors access to numerous territories and holiday destinations since 2017, from the South Mole Resort (2019), the Commonwealth’s Downtown, Embassy and Inverted Museum (2021), and a temple at the ocean edge, devoted to the glorious beings of small favours (2023). 

The Commonwealth of New Bayswater is always an unmissable experience offering exclusive access to all this quasi-functional state has to offer, from live performances by international acts, culture, motels and motor inns, views, carparks, free potable water, a restaurant, souvenirs, a postal service and much more.

Presented for HIGH TIDE 17, UNDERCURRENT 19, CROSSING 21 and SIGNALS 23.
