On the Comedic in Modern Art

Hmmm…”the Comedic in Modern Art”…yeah I think I’d like to work on that. Every year the Southern California Consortium of Art Schools presents a symposium and related activities around a theme in contemporary practice. When the art historian John C. Welchman approached the Hammer, I was obviously eager to get involved. For the conference I organized a night of stand up called Live Sphinx, which featured the amazing Murray Hill on hosting duty with the following phenomenal line up: Jessi Klein, Al Madrigal, Michelle Biloon, and Patton Oswalt.
