Ever heard of an insider artist? Me neither. So why is it that the work of so many outsider artists is more interesting than lots of insider artists? Is it because they just come straight out with what moves them? We've got inspiring examples. And read our interview with Betsy Damon, the water woman. Unattached to GOs, NGOs or anybody, she ends up redesigning (for free) a multi-million dollar water project for Chengdu, a city of over 10 million. Plus Paul Van Slambrouck talks with Jonathan Parker who made the artworld spoof "Untitled."

On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer - as stalwarts avow over and over - the time invested in our interviews is well worth it. Read More


Sharing the Wealth

 Friday, March 5, 2024

Each piece here stands in a circle of its own riches. Each piece speaks in some way to the question posed. The question is the most elusive, and yet the most fundamental one. Read More
