"The
art of those with disabilities unmasks the falseness and emptiness of
the world of pretences and illusions. As professor Aleksander
Jackowski, an expert on non-professional art, so accurately puts
it, Even when avantgarde artists begin negating the role of art,
art will be saved by those for whom it is a ray of hope, a sign of
existence, a voice from a distant solitude. For them, art is a
necessity."
Quote from catalogue of the exhibition "Taming the World". CCA 2003
