There is a horizontal approach in all actions of the exhibition. "We want to show a playful and unusual transformation of reality and organize the works to a purposeful visual contamination", Tania account.

What is delusional in the art and what's reflection about the madness in art are questions that guided the curatorial research, who organized the exhibition with a wide variety of genres and languages. "We're bringing emblematic artists such as Arthur Bispo do Rosário, who lived more than 50 years institutionalized in psychiatric clinic, but also other not so well known to the public, as Luis Guides, from Porto Alegre, Maurice Flandeiro, of Ceará and Fernando Lima, of Bethlehem, in a dialogue with important contemporary artists such as Cildo Meireles, Laura Lima and Anna Maria Maiolino, for example ".
