This exhibition, inspired by Carl Gustav Jung's 'Man and His Symbols,' explores the human journey from a state of paradise through obstacles to eventual enlightenment. It features contemporary and modern art alongside historical works, drawing connections between art, mythology, and psychology.
The exhibition 'Uit het paradijs' (Out of Paradise) draws inspiration from Carl Gustav Jung's seminal work 'Man and His Symbols' and the theories of mythologist Joseph Campbell, themes that have long influenced artists, filmmakers, and writers. The exhibition invites visitors on a metaphorical journey, starting from a safe, paradisiacal environment and navigating through various obstacles, ultimately leading to a state of catharsis and return. The exhibition is presented as a labyrinth, with its design playing with the visitor's perception, offering limited or no visibility at times, mirroring the often non-linear and challenging paths individuals take in their personal development and self-discovery. Christian myths and symbols are reinterpreted within this artistic and psychological framework, highlighting how art, mythology, and psychology intertwine to offer new meanings. Featuring a diverse range of works from contemporary and modern artists, 'Uit het paradijs' includes immense spiral paintings, tufted 'Joshua trees,' and striking imagery such as snakes framing a woman's face. The exhibition showcases graphics by Salvador Dalí and Rembrandt, video art by Guido van der Werve, and photography by Juul Kraijer. Notable loans include Rembrandt's 'The Prodigal Son' and Dalí's 'Divina Commedia.' The exhibition also highlights works from artists associated with 'outsider art' through a collaboration with atelier for 'outsider art'. The exhibition design itself is intended to enhance the visitor's experience, creating a sense of journey and introspection.
