Outsider artists and the reformulation of Australian art

这个项目旨在让人们了解外来者艺术家，他们的生活，他们的历史，以及他们创作作品的社会历史背景。“局外人艺术家”包括经历监禁、残疾、精神疾病和其他形式边缘化的艺术家。将他们的作品整合在一起，可以让我们更深入地了解澳大利亚的主流艺术，从而描绘出一幅更丰富、更复杂的澳大利亚艺术史的画面。该项目将改变艺术政策和机构以及澳大利亚艺术家本身的观点。

This project aims to produce an understanding of outsider artists, their lives, their histories, and the socio-historic context in which they made their work. “Outsider artists” includes artists experiencing incarceration, disability, mental illness and other forms of marginalisation. Integration of their work will lead to a deeper understanding of mainstream art in Australia to paint a richer, more complex picture of the history of Australian art. The project will alter the perspective of arts policy and agencies, and of Australian artists themselves.
