Exhibition

Location:

Western Front

Description:

Die Laughing: A Commedietta was a video installation by D.I.R.T. that explored documentation, surveillance, humour, and queerness. It included three separate yet incestuous objects in company with a sea of public propaganda in the form of text printed on balloons, bumper stickers, posters, buttons, and shirts. The artworks were titled: Blinky, Fruit Basket (the birth of language), and Knots.

The exhibition was previously presented at the Art Gallery of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
