EUROPEAN OUTSIDER ART ASSOCIATION

CURATING OUTSIDER ART
International Conference
May 15-16, 2014 - Halle Saint Pierre, Paris

More and more institutions for contemporary art integrate art works by outsider artists in exhibitions or permanent collections today. As a lot of these artists are not thinking in terms of the art scene or art market they are unfamiliar with ways of presentation and exhibiting their works. Professional art curators, on the other hand, are often unfamiliar with the context of and special ideas behind outsider art and tend to press it into well-known presentation formats, cutting off important dimensions of the works. The conference "Curating Outsider Art" wants to look for ways to mediate between artists and curators in this field. The conference is produced by The Prinzhorn Collection & European Outsider Art Association
