'Anxiety' festival to open in London

 

The most popular modern diseases, stress and anxiety, perturb the well-being of uncounted people nowadays.

 

To be in trend, it was just the case to create an art festival that explores this scourge of the 21st century in depth.

 

The Mental Health Foundation is organizing in London an art show called “Anxiety”.

 

The festival, funded by the Maudsley Charity, will feature, among other participants, Dulwich Picture Gallery and the Freud Museum.

 

The “Anxiety” festival will be launched by Money Distribution Machine and Other Useful Contraptions by Kathrin Böhm, open May 20 through July 27.

 

According to the organizers, getting tense is not always a bad thing, when art is concerned: "anxiety has been associated with art since the beginning of the 20th century, starting with the close relationship between early modernist artists and psychoanalysis, and the rise of art practices within psychiatric hospitals".
