Humor Risk
October 11 - November 8, 2014
Opening Reception Saturday October 11
A funny artwork can be the icebreaker to any exhibition, the means to cut through the seriousness of a gesture, the legitimacy of a space, the fog of art history. But what of latent humor, concealed behind any immediate reaction to a work?
"Humor Risk," a reference to the first, lost film of the Marx Brothers, is an exhibition of 15 works by emerging artists in Vancouver, the San Fransisco Bay Area, and New York. Innovative approaches to abstraction and subtle approaches to humor are shared between all the artists, many of whom have never exhibited together before.
