Laura Du Vé work has spanned the art world and film world. Here is a list of exhibitions and short films showcasing her work.

Taking Up Space - Love Letters to Our Queer Bodies.

29 April to may 1 2022

Curated by Bo Bickmore & Variation Three. A multi art-form exhibit, show and spoken word event centered on celebrating and championing Queer bodies and creativity.
Meat Market, North Melbourne.

Showcasing “Plump” - A Series of four works reflecting on fat representation in the media of her youth, Du Vé explores the ways in which fat women appear to only be celebrated when they lean into the hyper-feminine. Intrigued to discuss fatness in its campiest form, she highlights how fat women are so often refused something as simple as public space, how their bodies are seen as community problems, and instead, shifting the focus to showcase the vibrant richness of history that fat queer bodies have carried over the decades.

CONTEMPORARY AF Exhibition Midsumma Festival

April 2021

Curated by Tim Ryan.

Mission to Seafarers, Docklands

Showcasing “Immure” Zine & Moving Portrait video installation.

Snippet from “Immure Zine” The zine was a space that helped connect me with the queer community world over, during a time when there were no in-person LGBTQIA+ spaces for us to gain comfort, release tension, seek validation of self, and feel seen in our individual identities. I've always been fascinated by queer portraits and have been long inspired by Eye To Eye: Portraits Of Lesbians, by American author and photographer Joan E Biren's 1979 book. This zine is a nod to that previous time and an ongoing exploration of queer and trans intimacy & love.

Love Me (Say That You Love Me) Exhibition curated by Tegan Iversen @ No Vacancy Gallery QV March 2019

Du Vé's tripdytch works ki, kii, kiii -  express decadent vanity / self-love.  Her works attempt to demonstrate this through a feminine lens but furthermore through a queer gaze. Referencing paintings such as John Richard "Caudillo" Renaissance Fruit painting and inspired by the sapphic insinuation of  Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet  1866 work "Le Sommeil" -  she shows the juxtaposition of stone fruits and the connection to touch and subtle sapphic autoeroticism.  Her works are always in conjunction with the model and their personal aesthetics and through her triptych Du Vé manages to visually display what Kiarra's - or K’s- musical creations had offered to Du Vé audibly.
