Jeffrey Deitch: Welcome to the Carnival: Joe Coleman and Gluklya

Welcome to the Carnival introduces the unruly visions of Joe Coleman and Gluklya, two artists who use performance, spectacle, and satire to confront systems of power. The article traces how their work channels the energy of carnival—at once joyous and unsettling—as a way to upend social order and expose hidden truths. It invites readers into a space where chaos becomes a tool for critique, and where art offers a glimpse of liberation through disorder.
