2. Humor Noir at Walker

Humor Noir
Target Free Thursday Nights

Date & Time:  Thursday, April 26, 7:00 pm
Location: Cinema
Price: Free tickets available at the Bazinet Garden Lobby desk from 6 pm

Humor is a complicated human response, prompting us to laugh at things both
absurd and tragic. Kara Walker constantly tests these boundaries by
employing her sense of humor within violent imagery. To address these
issues, Simon Critchley, professor of philosophy at the New School for
Social Research and the Getty Research Institute, speaks about the
definition and possibilities of the comic as well as humor's ethical limits
and function in culture and visual art. This lecture will be webcast live
and archived on the Walker Channel (channel.walkerart.org).
