Autobody Fine Art is proud to
announce the opening of ėThe Ship of Fools,î a group show that
focuses on theater, fairytales and magic. At the core of the
exhibition is audience participation and an exploration of how
artists and the creative act can transform the mundane and banal
into the sublime and other wordly. During the Middle Ages artists
and the insane were exiled beyond the walled fortresses of major
cities. Those perceived as mad roamed the countryside together
in search of a final resting place. This "Ship of Fools", the
Narrenschiff, encountered many outlying villages as it searched
for the elusive ėKingdom of Follyî. Through contact with the
villagers, the ideas, dreams and prophecy's held sacred by creative
people were returned to society. Autobody Fine Art is privileged
in continuing this tradition.
