Outsider Art
Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of Outsider Art, first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists, and provides fresh critical insights into the achievements of both major figures and newly discovered artists.
Outsider Art
The term outsider art has been used to describe work produced exterior to the mainstream of modern art by certain self-taught visionaries, spiritualists, eccentrics, recluses, psychiatric patients, criminals, and others beyond the perceived margins of society. Yet the idea of such a raw, untaught creativity remains a contentious and much-debated issue in the art world. Is this creative instinct a natural, innate phenomenon, requiring only the right circumstances—such as isolation or alienation—in order for it to be cultivated? Or is it an idealistic notion projected onto the art and artists by critics and buyers? David Maclagan argues that behind the critical and commercial hype lies a c...

The Invention of ›Outsider Art‹
What does it mean to be called an ›Outsider‹? Marion Scherr investigates structural inequalities and the myth of the Other in Western art history, examining the role of ›Outsider Art‹ in contemporary art worlds in the UK. By shifting the focus from art world professionals to those labelled ›Outsider Artists‹, she counteracts one-sided representations of them being otherworldly, raw, and uninfluenced. Instead, the artists are introduced as multi-faceted individuals in constant exchange with their social environment, employing diverse strategies in dealing with their exclusion. The book reframes their voices and artworks as complex, serious and meaningful cultural contributions, and challenges their attested Otherness in favour of a more inclusive, all-encompassing understanding of art.

Outsider Art
Das unendlich kreative Potenzial jenseits etablierter Formen und Strömungen, fernab von dem akademischen Kunstbetrieb, fasziniert seit längerer Zeit Wissenschaftler, Sammler und Künstler gleichermaßen. Unter dem Begriff Outsider Art - ursprünglich als Übersetzung für Jean Dubuffets Art Brut gedacht - versteht man eigensprachliche, meist existentielle Werke, die die Grenzen des menschlichen Denkens ausloten und Anlass zu grundsätzlichen Fragen unseres Daseins geben. Die Publikation Outsider Art - Past, Present & Perspectives bringt internationale Stimmen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis zusammen, die sich mit dem Thema kritisch auseinandersetzen. Dabei spielen interdisziplinäre Methoden und Theorien der Kunstgeschichte, Bildwissenschaft und Philosophie, aber auch zeitgenössische Praktiken der Kontextualisierung, Präsentation und Vermittlung eine wichtige Rolle.
