Is this thing on?: the art of comedy


I am curating this art exhibit. Feel free to submit work. /////MC





A call for artists/comedians:
Is this thing on?: the art of comedy
Art exhibit at Cobalt Art Studio in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, August 2011


Deadline: July 15, 2011


"If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses."
- Lenny Bruce


Art is too serious sometimes. This show will focus on what makes us laugh. Most of us are part of the system and work 40+ hours a week and by the weekend we just want to unwind and be entertained. Artists will create work for you that is funny and absurd but will make you think.

 Acceptable formats include: video, performance, installation, audio, painting and drawings. You can submit 4-5 pieces. There is no fee. email submissions with video/audio links or jpeg attachments  to antenapilsen@gmail.com
