What’s So Funny? Everything. Or nothing. It can be hard to tell. Either way, we’re looking for a laugh. Just to break the silence. Or calm our anxious nerves. Let’s laugh until we cry at the Lynchian absurdity of the world around us. With quirky characters and shameless forms, bodily functions, wordplay, gritty materiality and subtle shifts in perspective, the works in this group show explore the nuances of humor and aim to hit that funny bone. This is an exhibition focused around comedy. And now more than ever, couldn’t we all use a laugh?
