The outsider art fair is here! Oohhhwow. I get to be outside that. They only accept galleries to show at the fair. They lost the title even though they’ve co-opted it. It’s long been officially a cash cow for the art world, some kind of performance stamping on the history of many artists who suffered with mental illness who will not see any money from this. If your art is in that fair and you’re not dead, you’re now a “meta” outsider artist with a gallery. It’s an either or. You can’t be both and once you’re in you are masquerading as being an outsider artist. Congratulations! You have entered an elite club of inside “outsider” artists.
