It features works by more than thirty artists, exploring humour that lies within, or on the face of contemporary art; asking what makes us laugh at art; how it makes us laugh; and why. So without further a due, Let\u2019s get started \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>How and what makes us laugh in art?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it the style of the art? Does something seem out of place? Is it art that doesn\u2019t even <em>look<\/em> like art? Alastair Sooke explains how \u2018Contemporary art is not normally celebrated for its capacity to make people laugh\u2019 \u2013 she uses celebrated in its capacity to be intentionally funny, versus incidentally, and where the issue around humour in art becomes fragmented.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at art, the individual may have to explore the undermining meaning; it may not be clear where the humour is until it starts to make sense; or perhaps it is simply funny. Caricature is an example of art that exaggerates or oversimplifies a subject from what it may originally look like, thus being humorous.<\/p>\n<p>But back to the question \u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Since humour is an individual thing, not everyone will get it. Although humour can be found in anything, right? Beneath an artistic piece, whether it is a painting or a sculpture, or anything else, there is something that can make anyone laugh.\u00a0 Take Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s famous <em>Mona Lisa<\/em> painting for example; it is certainly not meant to be a humorous portrait, but has been parodied numerous times. Mona Lisa, with a mobile phone, sounds like contemporary art genius.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is it okay to laugh at art?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry! No one says there is a barrier to what you can or should laugh at. Although (here comes the catch) it can depend on the context; this is primarily to do with what can be considered art \u2013 an issue that remains complicated and controversial \u2013 and indeed within contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard of Jackson Pollock? Barnett Newman? If not, then have you have looked at art and thought: \u201chold on, is this art?\u201d If so, then this is when the context of art and its understanding is paramount. Consider abstract expressionism, an art movement that appeared after World War II:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54987\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?resize=580%2C435\" alt=\"8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?resize=680%2C510&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/8209284898_a5e7a3a441_b.jpg?resize=770%2C577&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><em>Jackson Pollock&#8217;s\u00a0Number 1 (Lavender Mist) 1950, photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/detlefschobert\/\">Detlef Schobert<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em>Note:<em> Artwork and photographer are not associated with the exhibition.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Abstract expressionism is the source of controversy; observed as an important movement in the history of art, while conversely being questioned on how the movements\u2019 work can be considered art.
