“The odd pleasure of WITH’s exhibition work comes from it being like a Samuel Beckett play that has been re branded by Nathan Barley. The visual aesthetic of WITH is snazzy, insidious and frigidly professional but the dark, self-ridiculing humour is the real beauty of the work. […] The implicit intention of WITH and other artists' strategies of cheerful antagonism is to jolt each individual from being a self-conscious visitor to being a self-aware, critical, thinking viewer. Humour in art, particularly in comedic exhibitions, asserts that understanding what we find funny and why is a form of critical thinking - humour is a form of aesthetics.”
