FUNNY (not funny)
January 21st, 2010I’m in this great group show, opening tomorrow evening (January 22) at The University of Michigan Work: Detroit Gallery.
The “FUNNY (not funny)” exhibition seeks to elicit uncomfortable laughter in the realm of black humor-a place where the serious and the taboo are fodder for comic provocation. Work by the twenty artists on view in “FUNNY (not funny)” demonstrates that cartooning is keeping the tradition of black humor alive and flourishing.
Participating Artists:
Ivan Brunetti
Chris Cilla
Sue Coe
Lisa Hanawalt
Glenn Head
Tim Hensley
Ian Huebert
Ben Katchor
Michael Kupperman
Mats!?
Daniel Maw
Taylor McKimens
Travis Millard
Tom Neely
Mark Newgarden
David Paleo
Jonathon Rosen
David Sandlin
Rob Sato
Jon Vermilyea
