Art and madness have in common the force of transformation of reality and this is represented in the exhibition ", explains the curator Tania Rivera, that is a psychoanalyst and Professor at Fluminense Federal University (UFF).

The word raving mean anything that diverts the defaults and create new settings of reality. And that is why it is used in the title of a show which brings works by artists diagnosed with a psychological disorder, but also familiar names in art, they produce works that refuse the traditional routes of representation or that question in a way which is called madness.

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 ".
