Modern Whitney asks the question everyone mutters in a museum, what does that painting even mean, and hands it to a panel of comedians. Their confident wrong answers get checked by an actual art expert, so you leave with jokes and some real art history. If you spent the morning in a museum, this afternoon show is the perfect chaser.
What to expect
Artworks appear on screen, comedians riff on interpretations, and then the expert explains the real context. It is an early show in Caveat's small room with the bar open.
