| HUMOR IS AN ART |
| 03.16.06 (8:45 pm) [edit] |

So much of the laughter and jokes that are told, are at the expense of thinking well of the world. So I'm very glad to tell you that this coming Saturday, humor will be shown to be an art--and crucial, as art is, to our honestly liking the way we see the world. Yes, on Saturday, March 18, at 8:00 pm at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation (141 Greene Street, NYC) you'll laugh and feel good about the reason why as you hear "LAUGHTER WAS GIVEN TO US BY THE WORLD," a talk originally given by Eli Siegel—with many comic examples.
And there will be: "CAN
CONTEMPT BE ANIMATED?" Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ken Kimmelman speaks about the ethics of animation, with short animated films. He says: "Since Gertie the Dinosaur defiantly turned her back to the audiences in 1909, film animation artists have been interested in animating the contempt all people have for the world, as an unconscious means of fighting contempt.”
And I will have the great pleasure to present, with actor Bennett Cooperman, a report of an Aesthetic Realism lecture by Eli Siegel, "HUMOR IS CENTRAL IN AESTHETIC REALISM"—including examples from Robert Benchley, and Newman Levy's hysterically funny story "Dinner at Marios"--about dinner with an operatic family.
There is a suggested contribution of $10.
I hope you can come.
