Mixed-up childhood
"Our understanding of how children develop - and what influences that development for good or ill - is elementally tempered by our childhood memories. And that's a central part of what this exhibition is saying about "the state or time of being a child". "The artists in Mixed-up childhood recall or restage their own perceptions of childhood, sometimes through the filters of history and art history, psychoanalysis, psychology or politics, and sometimes through cathartic playing-out"--P. [9]
