Can discomfort also be a form of humor?

Exhibition Name: Everything Looks Like a Nail (to a Hammer) - Solo Exhibition of Artist Emma Stern Exhibition Venue: Chi She (No. 2555 Longteng Avenue) Room 4 Public Transport: Metro Line 11 Yunjin Road Station, Binjiang No. 1 Exhibition Dates: March 8, 2024 to April 26, 2024 Exhibition Tickets: Free, no reservation required Exhibition Introduction: The late art critic Harold Rosenberg believed that it is important to remember that the art world is a comedy. Whether it's mermaids who can't swim or cowgirls racing on lonely highways, Emma Stern takes her characters on the road with her paintings, characters that are tenacious, sexy, and powerful. The exaggerated interpretation of these works brings them closer to the humor hidden within. Whispers in the Mist: Although the painter thinks that discomfort can also be a form of humor, if one cannot appreciate it, the provocativeness in the works makes one uncomfortable and thus dislike them.
