Video Installation Galleries

March 13 - September 12

Humor and a sense of absurdity take center stage in Cheekwood’s next video installation as six artists help us laugh at some of life’s most challenging issues. Do-It-Yourself aesthetics, pop culture satire, polymorphous role-playing and a good dose of social and political culture
busting infect the invented worlds of this disparate group. Generationally, nationally and culturally diverse, all share a love of humor as a means of teasing out the absurdities of social convention, the need for love and comfort, daily rituals and contemporary communication. Identity, as it
responds to the changing cultural landscape, is the central character in these happenings meet situation comedies meet soap operas.
