Today
Due to weather complications, the opening and 4 p.m. reception of the gallery “Two Kinds of Funny” are postponed. The crate, containing artwork from Matt Lynch, Ryan Mulligan and Chris Vorhees, was held in shipping because of extreme weather. The exhibit is expected to be up and running by Wednesday.
‘Two Kinds of Funny’
At 10 a.m. in the Atrium Gallery, artists Matt Lynch, Ryan Mulligan and Chris Vorhees will present a gallery of contemporary sculptures. The “Two Kinds of Funny” exhibit will bring pieces of artwork ranging from literal jokes to visual puns “illustrating the multiple dimensions inherent in the serious endeavor of comedy,” according to a press release. “The work in this exhibition is unified by predefined size and shipping constraints” because the work is shipped in a one-cubic-foot box. There will be a reception with the artists at 4 p.m. The artwork will be at the gallery until Jan. 31.
