Art & Comedy
David CampbellAbstract
Art & Comedy (A&C) is an extended curatorial project, initiated by artists David Campbell and Mark Durden, exploring the comedic impulse in contemporary art.
From the intellectual constructs of irony to the performative characteristics of deadpan or slapstick, the research expands a shared interest in the use of comic effect as an artistic strategy, and aims to map out new and expanded thematic distinctions of comedy and its applications.
