It’s been a while (a year?) since I gave a TV interview—the al-Jazeera spots don’t count because the question is prepared long beforehand and I have had a day (or days) to get ready. Yesterday, Nick Wang fired a few good questions my way, not just on the Republic of China’s anniversary but about my political candidacy, for both Sky TV and state television over in Taiwan.&

I attended a wedding this weekend. My little cousin got married and it was a lovely event. His aunts and uncles and grandfather made the drive to Maryland from South Carolina for the nuptials. His aunts and uncles are my cousins and his grandfather is my aunts husband. It was great seeing all of them since I hadn't seen them in about 7 years or so since my aunts death. Although I was looking forwa
He is an autodidact who writes, sculpts and uses multimedia, dividing his time between Luleå, Sweden where he was born in 1966 and a small village outside Skellefteå, where his sculpturing studio is located.

The prices will start from Rs 15.5 lakh to Rs 16 lakh. So all those who wanted to take home the ‘tough guy’ can now make arrangements for finances.

Naive and Primitive Artists
Dubuffet was working with the mentally ill artists, while “Outsider Art” outside of France was known to be a much more general term. It included not just the psychotic art, but also naive, self-taught, and primitive art as well. On the American scene in the [...]
What actually is art? Give me ten people and I'll give you ten different definitions of the word. What it means to you is as unique to you as your fingerprints. But who's to say what qualifies as art, or fine art?

My advice to anyone thinking of moving to a foreign land is to start thinking of yourself as an immigrant not just an expatriate, accept the local culture for what it is, try your HARDEST to learn the language and use it wherever possible. Don’t make the minimum effort - go for maximum effort! Think [...]

The hero of the novel 'The Outsider', Meursault is a typical example of an absurd character. His story parallels the story of Sisyphus - stripped of all illusions, extracts a grim acceptance of life from death and defeat, he deems life worth living after all he'd had. This novel without hope, even against hope, ends on a note of hope and promise.When Meursault is condemned to death, he considers the question of beginning life afresh (here Camus is illustrating the absurdity through the myth of Sisyphus).In a letter Camus wrote: "A man's greatness lies more in what he keeps to himself than in what he says." Meursault is an example of this great silence. During the trial one of the witnesses says about him: "Meursault didn't waste words."Camus writes about Meursault's feelings at the end of the novel:"I realized that I'd been happy, and that I was still happy. For the final consummation and for me to feel less lonely, my last wish was that there should be a crowd of spectators at

A conversation from the movie K-PAX.Mark: You have no laws?Prot: No laws, no lawyers.Mark: How do you know right from wrong?Prot: Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.Mark: But what if someone did do something wrong...committed murder or a rape, how would you punish them?Prot: Let me tell you something Mark. You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of an eye for an eye, a life for a life, which is known throughout the universe for its stupidity. Even your Buddha and your Christ had quite a different vision, but nobody's paid much attention to them, not even the Buddhists or the Christians. You humans...sometimes it's hard to imagine how you've made it this far.
If you had no idea who painted this picture, would you consider it junk, the product of an unlearned and unskilled artist? Would you feel differently were I to tell you that it is in fact the work of none other than Henri Mattisse? I assure you that it is a Mattisse, a piece entitled “Red Studio”.
This brings me to the subject and the point of my article - a term with which I only recently became acquainted in my search for definitions of art that doesn't quite fit the norm. I stumbled upon the use of "Outsider Artâ€, a term used when referring to untutored artists. I recently referred to the subject of critics in this blog and it seemed to me that the description was often used by them in a derogatory way to define the work of an artist who has no formal training.
Here is an example of artist Glen Brady’s work which is termed as “outsider art”. I came across Glen’s work at Outsiderart.info and engaged in an exchange of emails with the very hel
