Masters of Irreverence

Arena 1 is pleased to present Masters of Irreverence a group exhibition, curated by Allen Tombello, which gathers the work of thirteen painters, sculptors and video artists in an examination of the parallels between the creation of art and humor. The artists embrace their joy in antic making, and collectively their strategic “irreverence” breathes life into old forms, provides an emollient for social tension and offers the most rare of qualities, enjoyment. Together they make a strong case for humor as a cognitive clean-up – “evolutionarily speaking, the brain’s method for debugging itself.”
