Everybody likes a winner. Unless they backed the other guy, or, if it’s Lleyton Hewitt.
Winners are Grinners takes a look at the dark side of victory and its place in the psyche of a society that suffers from a ‘must win’ mentality and tall-poppy syndrome all at once.
The mixed-medium works by seven Aussie and Kiwi artists tackle the psychology of winning on and off the sporting field, passing the baton to the equivalent top-dogs and heroes in the realms of religion, politics, war and race.
Sure, the staff at ThreeThousand may have been picked last for the footy and netball teams but we like this exhibition because it reaffirms, despite what sports minister Justin Madden tells us, that winning is not just about coming first.
Medium: Mixed
Drink: Anything, as long as you look good holding it
