“Uninterpreted brings together disabled artists producing high quality work.

Shape offers no written interpretation next to the work or in the catalogue. Instead, they invite the viewer to make their own mind up and record their reactions on a comments wall within the exhibition space or online.

This offers the viewer freedom from the curator’s understanding of the work. Shape has democratised the interpretation process; allowing individual viewers to read other’s ideas and opinions and share their own understanding of the work.

This exhibition, like all Shape exhibitions, challenges the stereotypical assumptions often made about disabled artists by showing work that would be at home in any major gallery."
