• Dr Isil Ezgi Celik on capitArt and Art Brut at Wienwoche Festival in Vienna 24 September 2022.

Almost eighty years after the movement Art Brut got its name, it seems to be increasingly challenging to understand it based exclusively on its original definitions, aesthetics, and a myriad of names and subforms. Can terms Art Brut, Outsider art, Naïve Art, Raw Art, and others still function in a context that has been considered socially, politically, and artistically transformed since the movement’s emergence? Who is an Art Brut artist? Who has the right to engage in Art Brut? What is Art Brut in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East? Is there Art Brut in Austria outside Gugging? Is there a feminist dimension of Art Brut and how is it represented? What makes Art Brut attractive to the art market?
