Eccentric: The Aesthetics Of Freedom
Bold and free, funny, touching, disturbing 鈥 exhibits by 50 international artists show that eccentricity involves far more than outrageousness or decadence. Rejecting all forms of ideology, it is a social driver of freedom and tolerance. Around 100 works, including painting, sculpture, installation art, video, and design present a celebration of diversity beyond all rigid norms and cliches. They illustrate the perspective of the 鈥榚x centro鈥, the view from outside a fictitious centre.
The exhibition Eccentric explores the multifaceted spectrum of identity and humanity. The artists experiment in a variety of different media, using the most diverse materials and techniques. They observe and process on their motifs and subjects from the most surprising perspectives. They distort, deform or liquefy figures and forms, combining them into hybrid or amorphous compositions.
