Laughing in a Foreign Language explores the role of laughter and humour in contemporary art through the work of over 30 international artists working in a range of media, including video, photography and interactive installation. In an era of globalisation, this book asks whether humour can act as a catalyst for understanding the unfamiliar.

Including essays by Mami Kataoka (Hayward International Curator) and Simon Critchley (Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, New York), Laughing in a Foreign Language investigates the whole spectrum of humour in contemporary art, from jokes, gags and slapstick to irony, wit and satire.
