Join USC Roski MFA Graduate Josh Beliso for a virtual artist talk through his garden installation. instagram.com/color_and_stone/ The knock-knock joke is a quintessential gesture of adolescence and a relic of comedic pastime. As one grows into the banality of adulthood, into the grey-tinted consciousness of a serious demeanor, the importance of laughter grows ever more important. "Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana" is an exhibition that explores Josh Beliso’s adaptive take on traditional stone sculpture. As he pushes the monumental qualities of this natural material, Beliso imposes transitional subject matter outside thousands of years of historical context into contemporary genres. His investigation into the function of jest is expressed through select objects of humor and traditional gag comedy.
