"Shawn Gurczak - The Learning Mirror: Social Disorders and Children"
2001-02-10 until 2001-03-03
Mobius
Boston, MA,
USA
The Learning Mirror invites us to view the world from behind the eyes of
a dyslexic, and imagine a society that would celebrate learning disorders
as artistic talents rather than disabilities. The installation will consist
of stylized characters that represent the different aspects of the creative
process, learning and self-expression.
I trust you to share the secret
of my childhood experience of growing up with an artist's perspective, in a world that categorized me
as 'disabled.' I regard this work, alone, is proof of my argument - that a learning disorder can be a
form of artistic genius. - Shawn Gurczak
At the opening on February 10, a talk on learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
will start the show. The opening will be followed by a celebration with music.
