TKE Studios artist Guy Oliver presents Sincerely Yours, a themed screening and talk exploring the interplay of irony and sincerity in contemporary culture. Through a curated selection of films and clips, Oliver will delve into the complex, often blurred lines between performance, authenticity, and artistic subversion.
At the heart of the discussion are two key figures:
Andy Kaufman – the avant-garde comedian and performance artist whose elaborate pranks and refusal to break character challenged the very nature of comedy and reality.
John Smith – the British filmmaker known for his playful yet profound manipulation of cinematic language, blending documentary with deception to question truth and perception.
Drawing connections between their work and those they’ve inspired, Oliver will navigate the ways in which irony and sincerity intersect in film, comedy, and performance art.
