A comprehensive insight reflecting the independently mounted
exhibitions, Tragedy Plus Time: I Laughed, I Cried, I Split My Side
which explored the tragicomic impulse in contemporary art.
Published in partnership with the Dunlop Art Gallery in Regina and AKA
artist-run in Saskatoon to document the exhibitions during Summer 2014
which brought together Canadian and international emerging and senior
artists from across artistic disciplines. Tragedy Plus Time explores
the political dimensions of comedy in art while I Laughed explores the
interstices of humour and horror.
Tragedy Plus Time features full color installation images of both
exhibitions, as well as two critical essays by the exhibition curators
and a speculative essay on the tragicomic impulse in art practices by a
guest writer.
