This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition oh Heterotopia at the Deusches Architekturmuseum (DAM) from May to August 2008 in collaboration with the Dr. Guislaiin Museum in Ghent. Michel Foucault used the term "heterotopia" to refer to parallel social worlds tht display a different fabric of relationships and a different order - enclaves in the real world, such as prisons and sanatoriums. This book features works that can be considered "Outsider Art" - working outside the mainstsream, their authors are people exposed to extreme mental strains and pushed to the fringes of society. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
