The Outsider / Core Arts/ Hackney/ London
Core Arts is pleased to announce the opening of a new group exhibition, The Outsider.
Curated by Ryan McClelland the exhibition takes its title from Albert Camus existentialist novel.
Artists in the show examine different notions of the artist as an outsider and the romanticised clichés and stereotypes involved.
The Outsider surveys a wide range of Artists in age and background from the internationally renowned and established to relative unknowns. Exhibiting artists are shown without hierarchy of academic achievement or fame, their ability or disability, the selected artists have been chosen upon their uniqueness of voice and originality of perspective and it is this that makes for such a compelling exhibition.
