Much of art was once cloistered away to be experienced in specific venues, in specific ways, by specific people. To a large degree, large-scale art installations have upended these ideas by inserting themselves into unexpected spaces, at sometimes ridiculous sizes, and shrugging off or even spoofing artistic convention—like how Jeff Koons’ enormous Puppy turns formal 18th-century topiary into a Chia Pet.

When I give my talks, people often ask, “What is it about comedians that separates them from everyone else?” My answer is simple: It’s the way we look at life.

In doing so, we are not negating the seriousness of the subject matter, but rather looking at it from a different perspective—the humor perspective.
