‘Beyond Taboo III. Relations’ Exhibition

Event date: 01.12.2016 - 17:00 to 02.12.2016 - 16:45

Beyond Taboo is a series of exhibitions, in which the artists, mostly working with ArtBrut Gallery and the Studio For Social & Cultural Inclusion, examine issues of great significance for them, but which they’ve never explored before, such as sensuality, feelings, need for closeness and intimacy. The artists reveal their secrets and emotions. Searching for answers, they enter borderland, places situated in the societal taboo areas. This year’s exhibition called Beyond Taboo III. Relations is an attempt to look for answers, this time in the artists’ closest environment. Where can I find strength to do something more? How my relations, frequently difficult and obscure, with the external world, with myself, with the relatives – are shaped ? What has the greatest impact on us, who or what shapes us? How much we influence each other, how much they give and how much we lose in the exchange, what is most important for us? People close to the artists such as parents and friends, people enjoying intense emotional and often also artistic relationships with them, are integral to the exhibition.

The exhibition has been organised within a public task entitled:RUNNING ARTBRUT GALLERY AND STUDIO FOR SOCIAL & CULTURAL INCLUSION FOR PERSONS WITH INTELLECTIAL DISABILITIES AND MENTAL DISORDERS IN THE YEARS 2016-2018 financed by the Municipality of Wroclaw.
