Outsider Art Fair

Hotel Le A, Paris

Founded by Sandy Smith in 1993, the Outsider Art Fair soon became a critical and commercial success. Recognized for its maverick spirit, the fair played a vital role in building a passionate collecting community as crowds flocked annually to New York's Puck Building, the event's original site during its first 15 years.

In 2012, OAF was acquired by Wide Open Arts, a new company formed by art dealer Andrew Edlin. Its debut edition in 2013 saw the fair relocated to Center 548 in Chelsea and included guest curatorial projects and the OAF Talks program. OAF continues its tradition of presenting top dealers with prime examples of works by both legendary and newly discovered artists. The 2013 fair enjoyed rave reviews and more than tripled previous attendance levels.

In the wake of its success in New York, Wide Open Arts is pleased to announce its inaugural iteration in Paris. OAF Paris will take place at Hotel Le A from October 24-27, 2013.

The fair’s first Paris edition is dedicated to Art Brut and brings together a number of international galleries

OAF Talks
Program hosted by the American Folk Art Museum, New York.

Friday, October 25, 2013
10:00–11:00 am / Lobby, Hotel Le A
Limited seating. Reservations suggested.

Speaker: Jean-Hubert Martin, curator

In his recent exhibition Theater of the World (La maison rouge, Paris, 2013; Mona, Hobart, 2012), Jean-Hubert Martin weaves sensitive connections among heterogeneous works and objects — a museological approach that seeks to renew our way of looking at things. His projects — notably Magicians of the Earth (Centre Pompidou, Paris, 1989), Artempo (Museo Fortuny, Venice, 2007), and his biennials (Sydney, San Paulo, Lyon, Moscow, Venice) — have led to the opening of artistic and cultural frontiers. As a result, Martin has invited us to think more expansively about the notion of art brut and its gradual inclusion of non-western productions. From the specific to the universal, what is it about these works that speak to us, and what do they provoke in the imagined space of an exhibition?

Organized and moderated by Valérie Rousseau, curator, art of the self-taught and art brut at the American Folk Art Museum, with the participation of Barbara Safarova, president of abcd (art brut connaissance & diffusion) and associate professor at the Collège International de Philosophie, Paris.

Saturday 26, October 2013
10:00–11:00 am / Lobby, Hotel Le A
Limited seating. Reservations suggested.

Speakers: Sandra Adam-Couralet, art critic & independent curator and Nanette Jacomijn Snoep, director of History collections, Musée du quai Branly

This session with Sandra Adam-Couralet (Judith Scott, Collège des Bernardins, 2011) and Nanette Jacomijn Snoep (Exhibitions: The Invention of the Savage, Musée du quai Branly, 2011) presents a reflection on the exhibition Masters of Chaos (Musée du quai Branly, Paris, 2012. Curator: Jean de Loisy) on which they both collaborated. By referencing the creations and artistic practices highlighted during this and other projects, they compare the roles of the shaman and artist as transgressors, and examine the representation of otherness, shedding light on our understanding of specific aspects of art brut.
Organized and moderated by Valérie Rousseau, curator, art of the self-taught and art brut at the American Folk Art Museum.
