First NZ Outsider Art Fair
It's universal art: New Zealand has its OAF, too - Conference in AustraliaAuckland/New Zealand. The first New Zealand Outsider Art Fair from 21 – 23 November 2014 has aimed to create a platform from which to, not only celebrate and popularize art work that originates outside the usual venues, but review new ideas around the field of self-taught art in New Zealand. Curator was Stuart Shepherd, himself owner of a gallery and exhibitor at the "old" New York Outsider Art Fair. To consider the local and global significance of this field, is overdue in NZ, and as it happens, this Auckland fair was timed on the heels of the international conference on outsider art held at the University of Melbourne/Australia, 23 – 26 October 2014 (with Lynne Cooke, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC / Thomas Roeske, Prinzhorn Collection, Heidelberg, Germany / David Lomas, Art History, University of Manchester and Colin Rhodes, School of Fine Arts, The University of Sydney).
Shepherd in an interview: "I am excited by the potential of this art fair to initiate ideas that have resonance for the contemporary New Zealand art scene. Including ideas about collaborative practice, curatorial practice, art and education, and the potential for building business sector relationships into the field of disability arts and community enhancement."
The OAF in Auckland is a new weekend long event in November that showcases the quality and creative diversity of artists that do their work, for whatever reason, outside of the mainstream, and explores the term ‘Outsider Art’ in a New Zealand cultural context. The Fair is loosely modelled on the concept established by the New York Outsider Art Fair, which has worked for the past 20 years at building awareness around the diverse community of artists with unique experience and practice. Outsider Art is international, universal art. So, no wonder, New Zealand artist Susan Te. Kahurangi King´s was recently presented at the European Outsider Art Fair in Paris.
Located in central Auckland at the Britomart Precinct, the 2014 Fair promoted the unique qualities of this art genre and stimulated awareness and dialogue through an exhibition, installation and performance program, plus panel discussions, workshops and portfolio presentations.

Runder Tisch Outsider Art in Düsseldorf
Outsider Art-Szene am Rhein formiert sichDüsseldorf. Im Herbst 2014 haben sich in Düsseldorf über 30 Künstler im „Runder-Tisch-Outsider-Art“ zusammen geschlossen, über den gemeinnützigen Verein "Jason Rø", zur Förderung der Art brut in Düsseldorf, wie man es formuliert. Eine erste Ausstellung "Präsentation Eins" in der alternativen Kunsthalle Düsseldorf konnte vergangenen Oktober veranstaltet werden. „Runder Tisch Outsider Art“ ist eine Kooperation von Malgruppen, Vereinen und Einrichtungen, die sich aus verschiedenen Gründen und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven der sogenannten Outsider Art verpflichtet fühlen. Man will die Vorstellungs- und Lebenswelten dieser Künstler in Düsseldorf mit solidarischen Mitteln einem größeren Publikum zugänglich machen, mit Ausstellungen und Events.
Gleichzeitig hat sich in der Großstadt am Rhein zum Jahreswechsel die erste kommerzielle Outsider Kunst-Galerie etabliert, deren Inhaber in Soest beheimatet sind. Ein weiterer gemeinnütziger Verein hat sich mit Duisburger Künstlern zum Thema Outsider-Art in Düsseldorf angesiedelt.
