Resumo(s)
This dissertation, titled “Are You Serious?: Humour In An Artistic Process” intends to support my artistic thought and practice, through a theoretical reflection based on humor, and how it is present on art throughout its history, especially during the modernist avant-garde movements and presently on contemporary art. The investigation begins to analyze the presence of humor on the history of art, starting in Ancient Greece, passing through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance through the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, reaching Modernism and its avant-gardes, Dadaism and the Surrealism, where Charles Baudelaire and Henri Bergson’s studies on laughter will be addressed, and ending in contemporaneity, with approaches to the theorists Clement Greenberg, Antoine Compagnon and Arthur Danto. Later on, the research discusses the presence of humor in the artistic processes and works of: Marcel Duchamp (through his readymades), René Magritte (on his wordplay), John Baldessari (from irony in his conceptualism), Jonathan Monk (through appropriation and quotation), and Maurizio Cattelan (through the representation of the unusual and the absurd). Lastly, the plastic nature of my artistic process will be presented, along with the four phases my work has passed through, between 2017 and 2021, in the fields of painting, sculpture and installation. The dissertation focuses on the dialogues happening between these different periods and techniques, with referred distinct artistic references, since there is a similarity between all the phases: the presence of wordplay, appropriation, and the representation of the absurd.
