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. Artworks included reflect upon society, the urban environment and their authors.

Like any one-man band the material and the instruments’ are cobbled together exploring outmoded art making techniques many of the artists work involves a “patched together” DIY aesthetic.

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.
