"Wild Art" refers to work that exists outside the established,
rarified world of art galleries and cultural channels. It
encompasses uncatalogued, uncommodified art not often recognized as
such, from graffiti to performance, self-adornment, and beyond.
Picking up from their breakthrough book on the subject, Wild Art,
David Carrier and Joachim Pissarro here delve into the ideas
driving these forms of art, inquire how it came to be marginalized,
and advocate for a definition of "taste," one in which each
expression is acknowledged as being different while deserving equal
merit. Arguing that both the "art world" and "wild art" have the
same capacity to produce aesthetic joy, Carrier and Pissarro
contend that watching skateboarders perform Christ Air, for
example, produces the same sublime experience in one audience that
another enjoys while taking in a ballet; therefore, both mediums
deserve careful reconsideration. In making their case, the two
provide a history of the institutionalization of "taste" in Western
thought, point to missed opportunities for its democratization in
the past, and demonstrate how the recognition and acceptance of
"wild art" in the present will radically transform our
understanding of contemporary visual art in the future. Provocative
and optimistic, Aesthetics of the Margins / The Margins of
Aesthetics rejects the concept of "kitsch" and the high/low art
binary, ultimately challenging the art world to become a larger and
more inclusive place.
