No Use Crying Over Ripped Lace

Thu 23 Feb - Sat 4 Mar | 2 hours .M Contemporary
Free Exhibition

Wigs and heels were lost that night, but as Coco says, “there is no use crying over ripped lace”. An art exhibition by award winning artist Todd Fuller.

In 2017, a post-performance kebab for three Sydney drag stars (Ivy League, Coco Jumbo and Vybe), ended in an altercation as the queens intervened in a gay-bashing. Drag Queens often take on the role of protectors for the LGBTQIA+ community but on this occasion, Ivan Flinn, who had been king hit, described the queens as appearing like angels. Not only did the trio answer his prayers but they potentially saved his life. Told through the eyes of Coco Jumbo, this animation marks another moment in history when Drag Queens led the way.

Reviews

Todd Fuller shows us how a position of vulnerability can combat a heteronormative culture fooled into thinking we are weak and without limitless strength. Daniel Mudie Cunningham, Art monthly

Todd Fuller is a graduate of Sydney’s National Art School. An arresting draftsman, his multidisciplinary practice integrates animation, ceramics, curating, painting and sculpture to construct nuanced figurations and layered narratives. Sarah Vandepeer, Artist Profile
