Purple Nurples & Peekaboos, Emerging Artists Programme, University of Arts, London

Humour is fundamental to the art practices exhibiting in this group show.Distinct from postmodern irony,
the humour in Purple Nurples tickles in a different way.Bathos, absurdity, futility, materiality,
these are some of the conditions of humour explored in the works by Maurice Citron, Katja Kublitz
Ronnie Yarisal, Janina Anja Lange and Sam Zealey.
