Jokes around the world
The Energetic Humouristics
Krijnie Beyen / Tine Munk / Paulien Cummins

Do you laugh about the same things as I do? A journey of discovery of jokes and the significance of jokes in different cultures. Laughing together and a moment of positive attention for the other person.



"Jokes around the world" is a street project of The Energetic Humouristics (Krijnie Beyen / Tine Munk / Paulien Cummins) whereby random people are asked on the streets whether they would like to hear a joke or have one to tell. Making or listening to a joke enables contact with complete strangers, listening to each other, sharing a laugh and having fun together. People are invited to tell a joke and The Energetic Humouristics have jokes "in stock". At the same time, the journey of discovery of jokes and the significance of jokes in different cultures entails sampling other cultures.
"Jokes around the world" kicks off in The Hague and then goes to Venice, where The Energetic Humouristics will take to the streets during the Biennale. The project is a statement on the worth and worthlessness of giving meaning to "things", to jokes, to art and to life.
