Showing ' Ha Ha Road' Bank Street Arts - Sheffield

This September, Bank Street Arts in Sheffield presents 'Ha Ha Road’, curated by Dave Ball and Sophie Springer. The show lives up to its name, pondering on those evasive elements, which make certain works funny. Featuring artists including Colin Guillemet, Debbie Lawson, Tobias Sternberg, Ed Young, and Dan Witz (left; 'Pranks 2004'), with contemporary works that cover video, installation, sculpture, painting, and performance, the show takes it name from London’s ‘Ha Ha Road’ in Greenwich. The title also has a secondary meaning, referring to a sunken boarder, a boundary that leaves the surrounding view unaffected – and that, in a way, is about as elusive as humour.

Ha Ha Road is showing at Bank Street Arts, 32-40 Bank Street, Sheffield S1 2DS from 11th September -12th October 2008.
