The Show You’re About to See

 

Belmont Univerity in Nashville TN  is seeking submissions for a curated group exhibition around the themes of humor in art, comedy, jokes, and works that use humor or comic process to create content.   Art and humor have been companions for centuries.  Bernini’s Fountain in the Piazza Navona comically recoils away from his rival’s architectural work and Michelangelo’s self-portrait as the sagging skin of St. Bartholomew are just two of thousands of examples in art history. More strikingly, since 1900 the membrane between comedic processes and art has all but disappeared.  Surrealist, Dadaist, and Post-Modernist works are often wry and humorous. Artists like Erwin Wurm, John Baldessari, William Pope. L, and Jane Quick-to-See Smith use humor as the primary vehicle for content in their works.  

This Exhibition will take place at Belmont University from Mid-August to late September 2023. All media are welcome.
