Y'all know how I love art about museums or museum humor. The museum staff at SFMOMA recently hung their own artwork on 4 floors of the museum's offices in an exhibition titled ART : WORK. 25% of the staff participated, isn't that great?
Above is the wall text from my favorite piece with a sample of the installation below. Brilliant! What would your office do? You can read more about the show on their blog Open Space and check out the pictures on their flickr stream.
It's summer, finally, in Boston. Summer makes me happy. I guess that's why I have been on a humor kick. For fun, I started searching for photo jokes, but oddly didn't find many at all. Over on the Prairie Home Companion's "Pretty Good Joke" portal, I found a few, mostly geek/art-related jokes. Below I present a few of my favorites as well as two photography related Prairie Home "sketches" - one on digital cameras and the other on a one-hour photo shop. Feel free to share any photo jokes you know in the comments!
