An Outsider Art Fair
And that Outsider Art Fair must have happened last week or so. I know because this copy of the Village Voice
that has been sitting around for some time says so. And that Outsider
Art Fair seems to happen every year around this time in that month of
January in that city of New York at that Puck Building on Houston
Street. And what's outsider art anyway? Art that's on the outside. And
the outside of what? And it seems to have something to do with those
phrases like self taught, art brut, art of the insane, mental health,
visionary and folk art. Art from the margins of society, people who are
out there art, maybe.. And it seems as if outsider art in, the newest
trend, maybe. And I know this Outsider Art Fair must happen ever year
because I think I can remember blah blogging about it on this blog last
year. And I think this Outsider Art Fair is part of that Outsider Art
scene with galleries like Galarie Etienne, Ames Gallery, Henry Boxer
Gallery, Phyllis Kind Gallery, Ricco Maresca, Carl Hammer, Maxwell
Projects, Marion Harris, American Primitive Gallery, Gilley’s Gallery,
Andrew Edlin Gallery, Luise Ross Gallery, Cavin Morris Gallery and
artists like Gramdma Moses, Howard Finster, Terry Turrell, Bill
Traylor, Adolf Wolfli, Frank Calloway, Henry Darger and more. And that
art fair rocks. Have a great art day.
