As part of this, from June 6 – 29, 2014, the Unclean exhibition will take place. Visual artists, performers, lecturers and others are invited to make proposals. In ancient cultures certain animals, rituals, moral attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, sicknesses or even blood were all considered unclean. Still today, collective preconceived opinions or feelings, either favorable or unfavorable, have a great impact on society and the individual. SomoS is looking to give space for artworks and performances dealing with the issues of self-identification and/or social exclusion based on common taboos and prejudices such as body image, sexual orientation, beliefs or disabilities.

Painting and poetry are connected in many ways. If one looks at poets/artists like Jean Cocteau, Max Jacob, William Blake or Pablo Picasso, it becomes clear that being a poet adds an extra dimension to other artistic expressions the poet might choose. Liis Kogers’s paintings are distinguished by a high level of lyricism and introspection; the classic abstract Nordic painterly tradition of artists such as Per Kirkeby is given a contemporary and mature interpretation.
