Jane Lombard Gallery is pleased to announce its summer group exhibition: Punchline, a takeover of its Tribeca space by the Boston-based Praise Shadows Art Gallery. Presenting works of various media from ceramics to video games, the show is inspired by artists who use humor to communicate issues that are often considered taboo or difficult subjects of conversation. Punchline is also inspired by our need for levity, our desire to laugh out loud unexpectedly. The (art) world could use a little more laughter. The exhibition, features work by Jon Burgerman, Reniel Del Rosario, Madeline Donahue, Divya Gadangi, the Guerrilla Girls, Garrett Gould, Oliver Jeffers, Nina Katchadourian, Kalup Linzy, Duke Riley, and Ben Sloat

Public reception: July 7th, 5–7 PM.
