The Paralympics in Brazil are currently in public focus. The disabled athletes from all over the world compete in athletic Competition. And are in the process. “Inclusion” would you call it when athletes with and without Handicap fought in joint competitions for medals.
Otherwise, the traveling exhibition “art in spite of(t) Handicap”. With the diakonia Germany would like to achieve inclusion. In the Documenta-Halle in Kassel, Germany, currently well over 200 works of art to see the show exactly what is presented in the classical exhibitions of contemporary art: abstract and representational painting, printmaking, sculpture, photographic art, created by over 100 artists with and without disabilities. Add Video-and photo documentation, the Handicap from different perspectives.
What is a Handicap?
The special feature: Only one third of the works created by artists without disabilities, says Andreas Pitz, curator of the exhibition. “We have chosen the term ‘Handicap’ deliberately, because this is a very broad term. The artists are disabled, with various Handicaps: mentally retarded, mentally ill, looking ill.”
Remarkable: The matter that has become ideas to hang or stand on an equal footing, without that, there is a note, which his Creator is disabled and who is not. The focus is on the art, not the personal Situation of the artists.
Art at eye level
Curator Andreas Pitz
“In many institutions for the disabled the help and services of psychiatric services, people are supported with artistic Talent,” explains Pitz in an interview with DW. In addition, there are workshops and studios, and special offers in which the creatively Gifted can develop. So the art of high quality would arise again and again. The works of these people are presented within the framework of the exhibition, together with exhibits by artists with academic training, who also have a Handicap. As the Third works by artists that already have a name in the scene and with your for people who are physically disabled.
It’ll make the disabled artists are immensely proud that their art showed works in the famous museums and exhibition halls, and in addition to exhibits of well-known contemporary artists would hang. “There’s a fascinating role change takes place. If I embed a disabled artist in my guides, the disability no role at all. Since artists are in the first place.” For the curator, it is clear: “In art the person is no longer disabled.”
Time-Consuming Search
Also large-sized in the Show (more in the gallery)
Three-quarters of a year, Andreas Pitz is driven by Germany, before the exhibition in 2015. He visited the Ateliers and workshops, talked with the artists, looked at thousands of works of art in person, because for him it was crucial that it must be good, challenging art. “For me, makes a good artist, he has developed a distinctive style. In our exhibition, a lot of artists have developed a visual language of their own that makes it distinctive.”
Another aspect for the selection of the artworks was that they “will be the Motto of the exhibition, that people in their art, what hinders, what makes them problems.” The works of art of the mentally ill people, the experienced curator, made the “tremendously impressive.”
At half-time with a desire
Some of the eye-catcher for “onlookers”
This seventh Station of the exhibition “art in spite of(t) Handicap” in the documenta-Halle in Kassel (until 18.09.2016) marks the mid-point of the entire project. By the end of 2017, the Show should be shown at least five Times, right then (21.09.-19.10.2016) in Hannover. Financially, the diakonia Germany is supported by the aid organisation “Aktion Mensch”.
In the tradition of art, the site of the documenta-Halle rich, where every five years, the largest and the world’s most respected exhibition of contemporary art, curator Andreas Pitz but still a bold request: “I was just thinking with the artists, the Ateliers forward, that it is a great idea could be to show immediately after the big documenta exhibition with works of art by people with disabilities.”
That would indeed be a great goal to have, however, also a bit of Paralympics, which act a bit like a appendage of the Olympic games – with a disability remain largely among themselves, and to them only at the end. Since art is “in spite of(t) Handicap” today, actually, even more than the Sport.
