THEME
The Outsider - Think Different. By definition the outsider has always been with us. The outsider is a mirror of ourselves. Usually they are people with looks, origins, orientations or conditions that certain societies, or members of society consider undesirable or abnormal. Sometimes they are outlaws, often they are outcasts. Refugees think different so they are exiled or feel the need to escape, only to find themselves being immigrants or illegals: outside their homeland, outside their new society. We find outsiders in the margins of society, living on the streets, in asylum camps, in prisons or in mental institutions.
Think different could be the slogan of the so-called Outsider Art: artists that are outside the main stream of art society, typically artists that have come to their craft from avenues other than the academy system that most consider the only way to bestow the title of artist. That said, anyone assuming the role of an artist has nearly always been the outsider.
In this exhibition, we are looking for all of the above; from the art of the outsider, to art that attempts to give voice to the outsiders of our society. We invite everyone to think different, to give another perspective to look at ourselves and our world.
