- sincerity and enthusiasm in image making
- this is all I want, though why should I assume trendy/ kitschy images are not part of this narrative? I will always doubt it though!
- intuition and innateness of image making
- what drives people to record their world through art
- rebellion / parody of arts institutions
- discussion of commodification vs encouraging artists
------------------------------------------------------
Thoughts on the Museum of Bad Art:
- would the painters I love like Miroco Machiko and Mogu Takahashi be displayed here? I feel that there is a certain deliberance and confidence that distinguishes artists like them than what is being displayed in that gallery.
- similar thoughts with artists like David Shrigley, Paul Davis (and more that I cannot remember at this moment). As well as being so honed and deliberate and confident do they use the style as an addition to their humour- would their concepts not be as funny if it wasn't for the *ugliness*? Does something need to be pretty if it's got a concept?
- does the gallery make fun of artists or encourage them?
- the exclusiveness of bad art
- is the work in MoBa kitsch or outsider art?
------------------------------------------------------
steps from here?
- more research on the Museum of Bad Art
- research the definitions of Outsider Art and Bad Art and the Ugly
- more in depth case studies of specific artists?
- think about connection of illustration / 'professional' art and outsider -> can they be distinguished visually/ content wise?
