Hilaire Carmody presents :)
ART by Funny People
A cheeky assemblage of artistic works by comedians in the 2013 New Zealand International Comedy Festival.
Thistle Hall Art Gallery hosts an exhibition showcasing the artistic talents of some of the performers in this year’s New Zealand International Comedy Festival from May 7 – 11. Titled ‘ART by Funny People’ the exhibit will show the world as perceived by comedians through a variety of mediums from manga sketches, to portrait photography to interactive pieces.
At 6pm each night the gallery turns into a performance venue with a half hour show featuring artists from the exhibit, with a different line-up every evening. This is definitely a time when giggling in the gallery is encouraged.
Comedy is naturally a creative process and each comedian has a unique style and point of view on the world. Find out a little more about the person behind the microphone and see where else their mind takes them.
Works will be displayed from Alexander Sparrow, Ali Little, Brad Zimmerman, Hilaire Carmody, Jen O’Sullivan, Jez Brown, Jon Coddington, Julia Holden, Mary Laine and Sanjay Parbhu.
Entry to both the evening shows and the daily exhibit is free.
