What: Paul Richards: The Incurable Malady of Coco the Clown

The Incurable Malady of Coco the Clown’ is a new video work by Paul Richards produced for exhibition at the Jerwood Space. A clown, haunted by the jokes of his past, is imprisoned in a bleak desert scene. Tantalised by a desire to quench his thirst, the clown undertakes a sequence of desperate acts. The clown’s repeated failures become the subject of a behaviorist experiment rooted in slapstick choreography.
