Fabulous dancing Warhols on Oz museum’s Mardi Gras float

The art world is going gay this month, with the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney at the forefront of LGBTQI celebrations. The gallery will get a “fabulous makeover”, partnering with Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras over the next week. On 1 March, the gallery hits the homosexual heights with Queer Art After Hours, a celebration of gay art and performance. (music comes courtesy of DJ Seymour Butz with star turns by The Huxleys and Cocoloco). But the highlight is the gallery’s Warhol-inspired Mardi Gras float which will take to the streets during the famous equality and pride parade on 4 March. The float will feature a giant gold shoe that will be flanked by dozens of dancing Warhol lookalikes, says a press statement (Andy would have loved it).
