Brunch and private view of KNOCK KNOCK: Humour in Contemporary Art exhibition spanning both the original South London Gallery site and the Fire Station to mark the opening of the SLG’s new Fire Station annexe.
KNOCK KNOCK explores the enduring use of humour as a device in contemporary art, featuring works by more than thirty artists. Curated by SLG Director, Margot Heller, with artist Ryan Gander, KNOCK KNOCK brings works by internationally established figures such as Maurizio Cattelan, Sarah Lucas and Ugo Rondinone into dialogue with newly commissioned and existing works by younger practitioners such as Danielle Dean, Hardeep Pandhal and Simeon Barclay. The show provides a surprising encounter with a broad range of humorous strategies, from slapstick, parody and caricature through to the in-joke, one-liner and visual pun.
Margot Heller, Director will introduce the exhibition at 10.30am.
Complementary transport to the SLG departs Tate Britain from 9.30am.
Complementary transport to Frieze departs the SLG at 10.45am, 11.00am and 11.15am.
