Know any good jokes?
The Boyfriend Auditions explore artist Sadie Hennessy’s own aloneness. They also reflect on the wider cultural phenomenon of many women in the 21st century, who find themselves alone in spite of their best efforts. Everybody seems to be looking for a G.S.O.H (a good sense of humour) in prospective partners, so Hennessy invites
you to come and tell her your favourite joke.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sadie Hennessy is an artist, who has expanded her idea of collage to create immersive environments and events. She explores the vital issues of the day, through a dark prism of melancholia, mixed with black humour
