Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness
October 3, 2009 - September 5, 2010

The quest for human rights and the search for personal fulfillment, as proposed in the 1776 American Declaration of Independence, provide the starting point for this international exhibition curated by Roger Manley (curator of AVAM's mega-popular inaugural exhibition "Tree of Life.") Works by 86 visionary artists are featured. Illustrator Renaldo Kuhler's vast imaginary country of "Rocaterrania," Tilden Stone's masterful "Furnitures of Secrets," and Duncan Laurie's Purr Generator (a "happiness machine") are among the many works that never have been shown publicly before.

"We think of big ideas like 'life' and 'liberty' as if they have to do with sweeping numbers of people," says curator Roger Manley, "but in fact they begin with the individual. And who could be better suited to reveal that, than self-taught visionaries? By definition, these are some of the most independent and individual thinkers and doers of all, and they've found some amazing, revealing, and entertaining ways to express their take on what makes our country what it is - or what it should be."
