Abstract:
"Wild Exaggeration" is a group exhibition that includes works by Israeli and international artists whose art is characterized by a "grotesque" quality, and includes representations of the body that allude to this charged and multifaceted cultural term. The exhibition examines an aesthetic category that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years as part of an eccentric, baroque paradigm of self-expression. The "grotesque" thus reflects a faulty reality and a chaotic world; its bodily incarnation, meanwhile, is presented as both an allegory and as a critique of a fluid subjectivity without clear boundaries, in the context of a postmodern society defined by contradictory and opposing world orders, by excess and by the absence of governing norms.
