Description

From the caricatures of Honoré Daumier to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp, the puns of the Dadas, and the videos of Dalí, humour has been a powerful tool in art, especially for critiquing itself. This catalogue will explore the humour of art through its different variations: toys and games, hoaxes, puns, jesters.

A humorous essay by curator Nicolas Liucci-Gutnikov introduces the subject. An anthology of philosophical and historical texts puts humour as a tool of criticism in context, referencing thinkers from Pascal and Montaigne to Baudelaire and Nietzsche. Additionally, humorous quotes from Dada and surrealist artists and writers punctuate the book.

HA! HA! HA! is a French/Dutch bilingual edition, with a complimentary booklet in English.
