What is outsider art?
From the psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn’s collection to Jean Dubuffet’s art brut: where outsider art comes from and how it is seen today.
Art in the waiting room: the pilot exhibition at SCBI Cluj
Works by Vizibil artists at the Ambulatoriul Integrat SCBI Cluj: art as an antidote to the stress of waiting.
For many people, waiting to see a doctor is a tense time: a chair, a number on a screen, thoughts that will not stop. The pilot exhibition at the Ambulatoriul Integrat SCBI Cluj, the outpatient clinic of the Spitalul Clinic de Boli Infecțioase Cluj-Napoca (Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital), starts from a simple idea: art can be an antidote to the stress of waiting.
Why a waiting room
The works leave the exhibition hall and go where people have not come for art, but have time to look. For the artists, it is a new audience. For patients and the people who come with them, it is a reason to look up.
Why a pilot
A pilot is a first attempt. We are watching closely what happens in the room, so that we know how it can continue.
If you work in an institution with a waiting room and would like an exhibition there, write to us.
