Description
HAHA Humor as an Artistic Strategy: The Dogo Residence as a Guest in the Sidecar
with: Alice Köppel, Dana Ferrari, Lily Pellaud, Lino Stirnimann and Thom Driver
Humor connects, exposes and questions. It can highlight grievances, reverse power relations and playfully question social norms. Humor is a means of subversive engagement with existing structures and at the same time creates moments of collective cheerfulness and relief – especially in challenging times.
For the year 2026, the Dogo Residence invited eleven cultural workers to engage with current artistic questions under the thematic focus HAHA — Humor as an Artistic Strategy. The works created during the residency will be presented to the public twice in cooperation with the Kunst(Zeug)Haus Rapperswil-Jona in the event format Sidecar. On September 6, we will open the first of the two group exhibitions. This exhibition is kindly supported by
