Funny Not Funny is an exhibition of artworks and performances that deal with the language, content, and representation of humor in overt and subtle ways. Artists who incorporate wit, absurdity, or satire into their practice create and confront the challenge of making serious work with humorous content, and question our understanding of "what is funny". The exhibition aims to reveal the careful balance of levity and intellectual rigor inherent to works by artists who take the risk of using the language of humor in a discipline that is not a joke.
*Performances by Rachel Mason, Shana Moulton, and Cintra Wilson will take place on the night of the opening reception and on the night of the closing reception. The performances will be documented and displayed as videos throughout the duration of the exhibition. Please contact the gallery for more information about performance schedules.
BELLWETHER is located at 134 Tenth Avenue, between 18th and 19th streets. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, from10-6. For more information please call 212 929 5959 or email info@bellwethergallery.com.
