| Description |
This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exposition at Museums of Belfort and Espace multimedia Gantner and examines the notion of Art Brut, or outsider art, in our modern age of rapidly shifting technologies. It explores new avenues of research, linking the industrial region of Belfort with topical debates on the subject. Besides an extensive selection of essays by various specialists, the richly illustrated book introduces works by the 28 participating international artists. Among these iconic, emerging, or yet obscure names are Miroslav Tichý, Óscar Morales, Melvin Way, Pepe Gaitán, Zdenek Koek, Dan Miller, Hans Krüsi, and others. With an introduction by Christian Berst. |
