Expo: Art is comic

Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornellà may well be an internet sensation with millions of followers, but his relationship with the shortcomings of contemporary humanity and especially its behaviour on social media is problematic at the very least. Selfie stick it where the sun don’t shine! Jet-black humour doesn’t get much more colourful than this.
At “Art Is Comic” – only the MIMA’s third exhibition, but yet another reason that makes this place an unmissable beacon in Brussels – Cornellà is sharing space with equally illustrious visual screwballs like HuskMitNavn, Jean Jullien, Mon Colonel & Spit, Brecht Evens, and Brecht Vandenbroucke, who co-curated the whole show. The result is a bleakly sinister but also painfully funny struggle with the present. Laugh your head off!
