Book excerpt: Outsider Art and Folk Art have been gaining increasing attention over the past two decades. They have been described as the 'hidden face of contemporary art'. Once marginalised and seen very much as a minority interest, these forms of art are now the subject of important international exhibitions and even have specially dedicated museums on both sides of the Atlantic.

It leads its readers to make their own discoveries, showing where collections and exhibitions of Folk Art and Outsider Art can be found and how to visit the most sensational of the visionary environments ndash; self-built architecture and large scale sculpture gardens.

Download or read book Raw Creation written by John Maizels and published by Phaidon. This book was released on 2000-09-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of self-taught artists - including visionaries, folk creators, spiritualists, recluses, the 'mad' and the socially marginalized - was once scorned by the art establishment. Among the first to value and collect such works was the French artist Jean Dubuffet (1901-85), who coined the term Art Brut, or 'raw art'. He saw Art Brut as the purest form of creation because it was 'uncooked' by culture, touched by a raw nerve and deriving directly from the psyche. Some 50 years later, a wave of enthusiasm for contemporary folk art has gripped countries as far apart as India and the United States. John Maizels ties these disparate strands together, providing an extensive survey of the self-taught art of the twentieth century. Today a bewildering range of terminology has emerged, along with growing enthusiasm, for strains of creative expression outside the conventional art world. In Raw Creation, Maizels traces the history of the recognition and study of this art and examines different theories and definitions that have grown up around it. He provides detailed expositions of the work of individual artists ranging from such Art Brut masters as Adolf Wolfli and Aloise Corbaz, to such gifted American folk artists as Bill Traylor and Mose Tolliver. Devoting several chapters to large-scale visionary environments, Maizels takes a broad view, embracing Rodia towers in Watts, Los Angeles, the Palais Idéal in the South of France and Nek Chand's sculpture garden in north India. Raw Creationprovides an indispensable guide to self-taught art and a fascinating account of human creativity.

Download or read book One Place after Another written by Miwon Kwon and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s. Site-specific art emerged in the late 1960s in reaction to the growing commodification of art and the prevailing ideals of art's autonomy and universality. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as site-specific art intersected with land art, process art, performance art, conceptual art, installation art, institutional critique, community-based art, and public art, its creators insisted on the inseparability of the work and its context. In recent years, however, the presumption of unrepeatability and immobility encapsulated in Richard Serra's famous dictum "to remove the work is to destroy the work" is being challenged by new models of site specificity and changes in institutional and market forces. One Place after Another offers a critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s and a theoretical framework for examining the rhetoric of aesthetic vanguardism and political progressivism associated with its many permutations. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem. It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. The book addresses the work of, among others, John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renee Green, Suzanne Lacy, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson.

Download or read book Scrawl Too written by Liz Farrelly and published by Booth-Clibborn. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Whiteread is one of the most acclaimed British artists of her generation. Yet, despite the fact that she has been the subject of consistent press coverage since being awarded the prestigious Turner Prize in 1993 -- & that her work openly articulates emotional themes -- there has been limited public exposure of the personality behind the work, & her sources of inspiration as an artist. Rachel's Book is far more than a conventional monograph, offering Whiteread the opportunity to present her work in published form for the first time. It is an artwork in its own right. Continuing in the spirit of the celebrated 'anti-monograph' he produced with Damien Hirst, publisher Edward Booth-Clibborn has given Whiteread free rein to expand the idea of how an artistic vision may be 'captured' on the printed page. As the theme for Rachel's Book, the artist has chosen 'home'. But Whiteread is less interested in describing what home means, more in how it feels. Using innovative production effects, the book articulates her personal response through images, textures, colours, smells, sounds & emotional references, which the artist has sourced over the course of several years. Rachel's Book is an emotive & evocative extension of Whiteread's celebrated series of pieces on a domestic theme. These 'spatial negative' sculptures -- unique casts of forgotten spaces under furniture, & most memorably, the entire space inside a derelict house in London's East End -- are the artworks that first brought her to international attention.
