2:44 Validating Self-Taught Art
The international art scene has embraced the work of so
called outsider artists or self-taught artists for more than a decade, but the
work by self-taught artists but has been slow to latch onto the hearts and
minds of New Zealand's contemporary arts arena. So who are New Zealand's
self-taught artists, where do they come from and where do they sit in the
broader context of New Zealand's contemporary art culture? Sonia Sly speaks to
artist and curator Stuart Shepherd, artist Fraser Hoffe and chief executive of
Artists alliance Maggie Gresson about outsider art and inclusion as Arts
Aotearoa launch an exhibition Original Voices, where 60 works by self-taught
artists have been selected from 300 submissions around New Zealand. Outsider or
self-taught art has been big overseas for more than 20 years. Curator Stuart
Shepherd tells Sonia Sly that New Zealand needs to catch up with the rest of
the world.
