COP3 ??

This year I've been looking at gallery spaces, and I'm wondering if for the next stage of COP I could be looking at art beyond galleries, maybe at outsider art.

 

I watched this episode of Journeys Into The Outside with Jarvis Cocker. It was interesting and got me a little more interested in the idea of outsider art as a subject but also made me think about tones of voice when talking about art. I think one of the things that made this documentary so nice was that Jarvis Cocker is an accessible figure, and all the artists were treated with friendliness and humour, and it wasn't overcomplicated to watch. I'd like to watch the other episodes.

I was reminded of the Chichu Art Museum which I saw noted of in Wai Wai Pang's zine, Itenary which was about her trip to Japan. The museum is very focused on environment... but I haven't looked into it much.

All in all I feel a bit wary of it as a subject... just how possible is it to make illustration about art? Is it too... inward?
