CURATED BY CATHERINE CONNOLLY AND VICTOR GRISS

Exhibition Friday 18 March to Sunday 24 April

Running in conjunction with the 2016 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Is This Thing On? is a celebration of humour, wit and weirdness in the work of 10 contemporary visual artists who, like comedians, risk humiliation, insult and indifference.

Including themes of satire, irreverence, pathos, surrealism and the absurd, this exhibition will feature animated objects, video work, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, textiles and installation.

Is This Thing On? will be accompanied by a series of public programs and events that should leave you rolling on the floor... or reaching for rotten vegetables.
