"David Shrigley: Brain Activity"
Dave Eggers says he's probably the funniest gallery-type artist who ever lived. See for yourself at the only U.S. show of the acclaimed London exhibition. In typical Scotsman fashion, Shrigley injects comedy into his fine-art and never passes up a chance to comment on life's absurdities.
