Two Plus Two Makes Four curated by Lizz Brady (Broken Grey Wires) creates a space for audiences to catch their breath and explore the mental health crisis through an ambitious and challenging project.

Featuring work from leading artists, including Bill Viola, Pipilotti Rist, Gillian Wearing, Martin Creed, and the late American, DIY artist Daniel Johnston. The show features work on paper, neon, photography, interactive installation, and video.

The work exhibited in Two Plus Two Makes Four is rooted in the lived experience of mental illness. It spans the sombre, the joyful/funny, and the raw and explores the politics of mental illness.

The project encourages interaction and conversation with a Mad Manual Toolkit to use in the gallery, and The Comfort Zone, a dedicated chill-out space where visitors are invited to relax and reflect on the show.

Broken Grey Wires breaks down societal stigmas and promotes art as a facilitator for recovery, however recovery manifests for the individual.

Through our personal understanding of mental ill health, Broken Grey Wires creates spaces for people to experience madness in a radical and ambitious, yet safe environment.
