MUSEUM OF SEX Henry Darger at IntuitJan 20 – May 29, 2017 Examinations of Henry Darger’s writings juxtaposed with his artwork have been performed in scholarly essays but never presented in a museum or gallery setting where viewers can see an actual work of art next to a facsimile of a corresponding page of text. In fact, pages from his epic novel In the Realms of the Unreal are almost never exhibited except for the occasional display of a Realms volume from the permanent collection of the American Folk Art Museum, so the exhibition Henry Darger: Author/Artist is a rare opportunity to see Darger’s art and read his words in one and the same viewing. Also opening at Intuit on January 20 until March 26, Unreal Realms takes the world Henry Darger imagined in In the Realms of the Unreal and provides a view into the otherworldly places created in the artworks of Adolf Wölfli, A. G. Rizzoli, Charles A. A. Dellschau, Ken Grimes and Darger. INTUIT: THE CENTER FOR INTUITIVE AND OUTSIDER ART In our special Winter Sale, we are offering a huge 50% off back issues!
