Furiously Mad: 300 Years of Legal Insanity

This fascinating exhibition reveals the legislative history relating to the treatment of people described as ‘Furiously Mad’ in a legal document in 1714 – through to the more recent treatment of the ‘mentally ill’. Pool Arts have been working on this Heritage Lottery funded exhibition, researching both mental health law and policy, whilst also developing their own personal responses to the subject. The exhibition features an interactive time line, and art works including installation, performance, video, print and paintings. There will also be a series of talks and performances to accompany the exhibition.
