“Of Funniness and Seriousness,” explores the nuanced interplay between humour and gravity within contemporary artistic practice. The curatorial premise centres on how artists deploy metaphorical and narrative strategies to oscillate between the comedic and the solemn, or to simultaneously inhabit both registers. Through a diverse range of works, the exhibition foregrounds how humour, irony, and satire coexist with critical reflection and social commentary, challenging traditional binaries of levity and seriousness. The selected artworks collectively form a visual and conceptual narrative that interrogates the lived realities of our time. These include explorations of popular culture, particularly the pervasive influence of social media as well as the complexities of human behaviour and interpersonal dynamics in contemporary society. Several works engage directly with urgent socio-political concerns, including systemic injustice, identity politics, and environmental degradation, while others present more intimate or subversive critiques of institutionalised religion, cultural norms, and power structures. Rather than imposing a didactic or prescriptive curatorial voice, these artworks are without a serious curatorial presence and also void of any critical judgements. The aim is not to direct interpretation but to facilitate a space in which viewers may encounter the works on their own terms, whether that engagement provokes laughter, introspection, discomfort, or delight. “Of Funniness and Seriousness,” is a pure visual journey, and experience for the viewers to enjoy, be it a humorous take or meditative thought to bring back. Participating Artists: David Chan, Feng Zengjie, Kenny Low, Pan Yue and Zhang Peng.
