OUTSIDER ART FAIR 2020 NEW YORK

[@missinglink9973]

thank you for showing and honoring the talented outsiders .Not every good artist goes to art school.

[@royeggygmail32]

Love how this guy keeps his train of thought despite all the distractions. Appreciate these dispatches now more than ever, thank you Kate.

[@robertnovel4938]

You are a wealth of knowledge that most curators do not have. Love your work!

[@jameskalm]

Thanks @Robert Novel for your kind words, but this is just a hobby, I'm really a painter...

[@accalloway1950]

I am enjoying your tours of these magnificent shows. Thank You.

[@jaydubya3698]

Like all artwork, sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good. But...why is it that many times outsider work is WAY more interesting than a lot of the work created by people with MFAs? And why do some people with MFAs try to ape outsiders? Simple...in art, instinct often trumps intellect and "game recognizes game." Thanks, James.

[@knoxst6577]

For those of us who couldn't make it to the show your video and commentary are fantastic. Thank you!

[@paulinehughes5325]

Always enjoy hearing from you james. Outsider art is important thanks

The exhibit was a good blend of established artists and new ones venturing out. I'd like to see more Thanks Kate.

Thank you James for your great work. Both visually and very informative.

[@holdmyhand9573]

I dont say, what I dont mean.... Thank you Kate. Thank you James. I Love you both, for the work you do, in this time of a PLANNED DEMIC .. It's stuff like your work, that makes my grown-up spirit feel like it can still "go/run outside and play." Thank you Kate. Thank you James. Much Love.

[@curiousperson6275]

Loved/enjoyed the work, a great variety, and range of subject matter. Also enjoyed your insightful commentary.

[@lawrencetarpey373]

Highlight of the year. I think this fair is worthy of a part 2, right?

[@mjcard]

It’s nice to see what people make. Lots of us do and decorate our walls with it all through our lives. It’s not necessary to sell or have others bless our work. Or give it a category, either. Actually, if you put a nice frame on almost anything it looks nice.

[@StereoChimps]

hi just wanted to say that ur videos makes me feel like the days i would spent in a museum looking at art pieces, since its quarantine here in Brazil all the museum are closed for long time now

[@relicman]

I really love the Robert Kippur Paintings. I can't find much on him. I thought a few of his pieces might be on Ebay, but no such luck.

[@kckstnd8]

Thank you for uploading this and promoting outsider art.

[@wmg5852]

Before commenting, a question- In one of your group show videos, you had 2 works by Allison Schulnik; the larger one was one of the best things I've seen in years, but after searching (and wondering whether I'm mistaken!), I can't locate which video it's in. Anyway, this looked like a fairly fun show, and I'm sorry I didn't go. Nothing earth-shattering, a little decorative here, a bit derivative there, but I did get a Paul Klee vibe (love 1920's Klee.) Your inside baseball was, as always, a bonus. Really liked a small 'congested' scribble @16:57; wish you woulda paused just a bit longer. Thanks Kate!

[@jameskalm]

I think this might be the program you're interested in with Allison Schulnik (from ten years ago...) : Homunculi curated by Trinie Dalton at CANADA: //kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYnJeXx9jsxga5I (Allison starts at 2:23) Also so I'd be interested in hearing more about what seems your negative take on "a little decorative" ...? This is a notion that's provoking a lot of debate here in New York these days...

[@wmg5852]

@@jameskalm Hmmm, it does sound negative, a bit more than I intended, because I did like a lot of stuff (wrote down 9 pauses!) You used the word 'obsessive' (quite a good descriptive term) and that tends toward the decorative I think. Maybe a good way to put it- I was recently looking through this wonderful book I have of Mark Bradford's work, and began to think- these would make great rugs!!! I love making abstractions, and sometimes tear my hair out trying to break up the repetitive rhythms that sometimes happen, yet other times revel in it, and so personal experience enters into my thinking as well. Thanks for the link to Allison's work, they were good to see (the flower was excellent), but unfortunately it wasn't the exhibit. I think she has done 2 large works of a unicorn in a field; it was one of those. And the photos of it do not do it justice. edit: Oh I just found it at Ziehersmith, Oct, 2016 .

[@billykobilca6321]

This was done in February 2020... I'm delighted to see something. Mos that all this is prohibitive it makes it that more appreciated. Hopefully we will be back to an art gathering culture. However artists. ... USE this isolation time and produce! !!!

[@robinsonhakimestibill2254]

Una vez mas, muchas gracias Mr. James

[@thomnull9759]

Outsider art is important if for no other reason than because it brings our attention to the portion of the artists in the world who are autodidacts.

[@pennykent5687]

So appreciate your doing this.🙂 Love to see all the artists work. Thank you Kate. I hate to go.

[@maureenwalsh5454]

some pieces can be catapulted right into a fancy store. the exposure is so dense due to the high number of art work.

[@e.a.wtzipporah1192]

Awesome video awesome art by awesome people There is a question I been thinking about what are the the boxes a person has to check to be an outsider Artist because am a self taught Artist and am on the autism spectrum so I think of myself as an outsider Artist because my style of art is very different.

[@jameskalm]

Yes @E.A.W Tzipparah this is a very contentious subject with no clear definition. But here's some information that might help clarify the issue: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outsider_art

Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA taught me that there is no such thing as a straight line---I'm living proof of it. James, I would really like to see you take a more in-depth look at the Outsider Art Fair. Possibly, more than one drive by of this august event.

[@jameskalm]

Thanks @Tom Lill I've covered many of these artists when they've had individual shows, so if you have someone you're interested in you can check the archives. As to "more in-depth look" sure, just send some money, I'll check the budget that Art 21 spends for each episode, and send an estimate... (should be under $20,000)

Can anyone tell me if H.Boxer was showing this year ?

[@frankaudiffret6959]

This looks like a very nice expo and I am glad that it highlights the 'outsider' artists. But, I get the feeling that it's all art-dealers who are showing/selling the work. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that the artists can make some money this way. But, (most of)the outsiders/folk artists I know, work differently. But again, it looks like a cool expo. Something, I would definitely visit, if it was around here.

[@frankaudiffret6959]

Oeps, I just figured it out... it's an expo. Nobody's selling anything, my mistake.

I find the way you eat cheese is something of a miracle. You sneak on unsuspecting mozzarella and cheddar and go ,"nraw nraw nraw , gulp" and you have eaten at least three cheese families. Their little cheese labradoodle couldn't do a thing. He tired speaking French but he couldn't reach you. You told the dog, there is three colors: red, orange, pink, and emerald green number 43, what are you?" And then you broke their priceless vase.

I'm an untrained artist as well but I feel physically ill after viewing that. I'm not being melodramtic- I actually feel nauseous, and I've viewed several art fairs on here without issue. Whether its the filming style or the art or the Mexican food I had for dinner, idk. A few good pieces in there too.

[@malcolmwatt4866]

Oh for EF's sakes. It's New York. I know dozens of artists of equal weirdness whole live way outside of the capital city. There's a gallery in Vancouver BC that tells the true 'art' story. It goes like this: In that gallery are stored thousands of works, all of which or of superb quality done by artists of talent and discipline. No one wants to buy their works at any price. What we have then is a vast oversupply of paintings and no way to move these refrigerators or custom kitchens. Do us a favor, New York. Figure out how to sell our artwork. I've been working on it but as long as there is this antichrist business world making war on everything I am not able to carry out any business. U-toob is fun though.

[@jameskalm]

I'd have to say that most of the artists in the "Outsider Art Fair" are not from New York, and most of the galleries are not from New York. Many of the shoppers are not from New York, but there's a strong "Outsider Art market" in New York. Sorry...JK

[@malcolmwatt4866]

@@jameskalm I should say I'm sorry for my outside attack. I'm sure though that there is an overabundance of art being produced that has no market. I suppose I'm acutely aware that opportunities in New York far exceed those in the hinterland for art sales or any kind of cultural showing. Everyone looks to NYC for approval and so much is trashed in other places simply because of the idea that NY is where all the real stuff is. I think it's laziness on the part of these other places that can't see their own place without some kind of reference to the big town.

[@jameskalm]

@@malcolmwatt4866 you don't have to be sorry. I've been skeptical of the "art market" for ever. The problem, is that the market provides an area where information is communicated. Sadly, If you're not in the market, you don't exist...(Some pundits have claimed that the internet will allow anyone to enter the "market" from anywhere, which I'm also skeptical of...)

[@amaxamon]

A very small amount of these are better than what's happening in fine art right now, but a lot of it is just crap.
