The Lab says…

While comedians are lucky to keep their jokes alive over the course of an evening, the visual artists in Deadpan Exchange have somehow breathed non-stop life into their gags since last June. The three-part, transatlantic exhibition features a suite of Danish and American artists who take turns delving into the nature of straight-faced humor and the more bawdy (and bathetic) relationship between comedy and communication. In the final installment, the Copenhagen-based Koh-i-noor collective, the Agressive Mimes of Team Lexington, Joe McKay, and Matthew Hughes Boyko bring a little irreverence to those plagued with l'esprit de l'escalier.
