As its name suggests, Strangely Funny showcases video, performance and new media art that explores humor and the absurd. Originally the word funny was just a derivation of the word fun. Then sometime around 1806, somewhere in the U.S. South, the word also came to denote the strange and the odd. The current definition includes the fun, the facetious, the suspicious, the insolent, and the strange, curious, and odd. Which leads us to the following questions when thinking about a show about funny art: what makes something funny? Can something be too strange to even be considered funny anymore, or too funny to really be considered art? Come and see what we found out.
ASPECT is a biannual DVD publication.
