Where is the field of self-taught art heading? This discussion will bring exhibition curator Val\u00e9rie Rousseau<\/strong>, curator Robert Cozzolino<\/strong> (Minneapolis Institute of Art<\/a>), and specialist Cara Zimmerman<\/strong> (Christie’s) into conversation about the expansion of the field of self-taught art through the study of archival material and oral history, around the theme of the supernatural, and to wider audiences.<\/p>\n

Robert Cozzolino<\/strong>, Patrick and Aimee Butler Curator of Paintings at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia), has been called the \u201ccurator of the dispossessed\u201d for championing underrepresented artists and uncommon perspectives on well-known artists. He has collaborated with many contemporary artists, and in 2014 organized the largest American museum exhibition of David Lynch\u2019s visual art. A native of Chicago, he studied at the University of Illinois at Chicago before receiving his MA and PhD (2006) from the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison. In his work on American art he has emphasized regional diversity, integrating artists of Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and other areas into installations, thematic exhibitions, and his scholarship. Before joining Mia he was the senior curator and Evelyn and Will Kaplan Curator of Modern Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia, where he oversaw more than 30 exhibitions, including retrospectives of George Tooker, Peter Blume, and Elizabeth Osborne. He acquired more than 2,000 objects for PAFA, mostly gifts, including the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women and major collections of work by Sue Coe, Ellen Lanyon, and Miriam Schapiro.\u00a0He is co-editor of and contributor to\u00a0Art in Chicago: A History from the Fire to Now<\/i>\u00a0(University of Chicago Press, 2018) and is curating a major survey of the paranormal in American art from the Salem Witch Trials to U.F.O.s.<\/p>\n

Cara Zimmerman<\/strong>\u00a0joined Christie\u2019s in 2014 as a specialist in folk and outsider art. Since then, she has been involved with and developed multiple major sales, including the unprecedented January 2016 sale of William Edmondson\u2019s Boxer,<\/em> which set a world auction record for a piece of outsider art. Zimmerman previously worked for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where she coordinated the critically acclaimed exhibition\u00a0Great and Mighty Things: Outsider Art from the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection<\/i>, and she served as executive director for the Foundation for Self-Taught Artists in Philadelphia. She has edited and written for catalogs published by the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; San Jose State University; and the University of Delaware University Museums; and is a contributor to Raw Vision<\/em> magazine. She has lectured at museums and universities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Val\u00e9rie Rousseau<\/strong> is Senior Curator of Self-Taught Art and Art Brut at the American Folk Art Museum. Since 2013, she has curated exhibitions on artists from various countries, including the AAMC Award\u2013winning When the Curtain Never Comes Down on performance art (2015); Once Something Has Lived It Can Never Really Die on Ronald Lockett, Melvin Way, Native American effigies, and Brazilian ex-votos (2016); Art Brut in America: The Incursion of Jean Dubuffet (2015); and shows on Bill Traylor (2013) and William Van Genk (2014). The Director of Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des arts indisciplin\u00e9s, Montreal, from 2001 to 2007, Rousseau built an archive on art practices emerging outside the art mainstream and organized exhibitions, notably Richard Greaves: Anarchitect (2005\u20132007). Rousseau holds a PhD in art history and an MA in art theory, both from Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, as well as an MA in anthropology from \u00c9cole des Hautes \u00c9tudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. She is the author of the essays \u201cVisionary Architectures\u201d (The Alternative Guide to the Universe, Hayward Gallery, 2013), \u201cRevealing Art Brut\u201d (Culture & Mus\u00e9es, 2010), and Vestiges de l\u2019indiscipline (Canadian Museum of Civilization, 2007).<\/p>\n

Memory<\/strong> Palaces:<\/strong> Inside the Collection of Audrey B.<\/strong> Heckler<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

The works revealed in the collection of Audrey B. Heckler are grounded in a variety of human experiences. They have been mainly gathered at a time when their creators\u2014all self-taught\u2014were marginalized by the art mainstream, a context that defined their artistic status temporarily. The perspective for this exhibition, which is centered on an individual approach to each work and its maker, invites us to consider them as memory palaces, which are visualizations used to organize and recall constellations of information in an ever-expanding mental landscape.<\/h3>\n

Heckler\u2019s collection is emblematic of the growth of the field of self-taught art in the United States, which manifests a strong interest for African American artists, a curiosity for European art brut, a consistent attention on American classics, and a search for international discoveries. Known for her keen eye, Heckler has surrounded herself for the last twenty-seven years with excellent examples by the most significant artists in this art niche.<\/h3>\n

Working with found pigments is a wonderful way to engage with the local landscape and tie artwork to a specific place. Inspired by exhibition artists Alo\u00efse Corbaz and James Castle, who used the natural materials available to them to create their work, participants in this workshop will be introduced to the natural colors of foraged mineral pigments and botanical lake pigments. Teaching artist Natalie Stopka<\/strong><\/a> will share a hands-on demo of pigment grinding and paint mixing with a soy binder, focusing on a selection of lake pigments from her studio garden. Students will then use the handmade paints to create their own works on paper. All materials are provided. The program is limited to 20 individuals.<\/p>\n

Natalie Stopka<\/strong> is a New York based textile artist and educator focused on historical surface patterning techniques including natural dyeing, marbling, and pigment extraction. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design.<\/p>\n

For sixty years, the American Folk Art Museum has been a leader in celebrating the accomplishments of self-taught artists, whose inspiration is genuine and candid, often resulting from personal experience. As a center for an ever-evolving field, the museum routinely receives national recognition for its exhibitions and programs, underscoring the museum’s position as an eminent institution for collecting, exhibiting, and promoting self-taught art. Its engaging, thought-provoking exhibitions define and shape the field of folk art, and provide portals for discovery from its two locations, both of which are in vibrant cultural neighborhoods\u2014Lincoln Square in Manhattan and Long Island City in Queens.<\/p>\n

The museum welcomes more than 130,000 visitors annually and serves more than 10,000 children and adults with its educational programs. And most important, the American Folk Art Museum is free to all.<\/p>\n
