Art created outside the boundaries of official culture by those untrained in the arts
POPULARITY
InTerConectArt, așa se numește proiectul lansat de colectivul de artiști și psihoterapeuți ai Asociației Entuziart, o invitație la conectare interumană prin terapii expresiv-creative. Pe 6 aprilie, de la ora 15:00 Green Hours Jazz Cafe din București găzduiește o serie de întâmplări care duc mai departe misiunea Entuziart, aceea de a da tuturor posibilitatea ca prin artă să-și cunoască potențialul terapeutic. Vorbim despre art terapie destinată nevăzătorilor, cu actorul Valentin Andrieș. Asociația Entuziart va lansa pe 6 aprilie la Green Hours, doua proiecte artistice InTerConectArt și Ecosisteme Empatice Incluzive - proiecte care subliniază importanța terapeutică a artei, susținând empatia și incluziunea. Evenimentul va reuni trei secțiuni principale: o expoziție de Outsider Art, un tur al instalației senzoriale incluzive „Micul Prinț” și un spectacol de teatru-forum intitulat „Zmeii și Cei-Care-Au-Devenit-Furtună”. Expoziția Outsider Art va putea fi vizitată începând cu ora 17:00 și va aduce în prim-plan lucrări realizate de persoane cu dizabilități, având ca scop celebrarea diversității și creativității. Aceasta va include desene şi picturi realizate de artiştii Ștefan Macovski și Elena Dobrică, ambii implicați în proiecte anterioare de succes ale Asociației Entuziart, de la ateliere de art-terapie din cadrul programului “Emoții prin Culoare și Muzică-IV”, finanțat prin Programul anual Mol pentru Sănătatea Copiilor în perioada 2022-2025, la proiectul „Prin art-terapie către sufletul celor lipsiți de voce”, o expoziție găzduită de Arcub, Hanul Gabroveni, în care au fost prezentate lucrări de artă psihopatologică realizate de beneficiari ai centrelor DGASPC. O atracție centrală va fi instalația senzorială „Micul Prinț”, creată pentru a fi explorată prin simțul tactil, ghidat, cu ochii fizici închiși, pentru simți și a "vedea" mai bine cu ochii minții și mai ales ai inimii, frumusețea din lucrările de ceramică realizate de persoane care prin actul creativ transcend întunericul datorat deficiențelor de vedere. Această abordare unică va promova empatia și va contribui la destigmatizarea persoanelor cu dizabilități, oferindu-le ocazia de a-și exprima creativitatea într-un spațiu public apreciat. Piesele din cadrul instalației senzoriale au o poveste aparte care va fi descoperită o dată cu parcurgerea turului. Instalația senzorială va putea fi vizitată între orele 15:00 și 20:00. Evenimentul este deschis publicului larg și este adaptat pentru persoane cu dizabilități motorii sau de vedere. Toți sunt bineveniți să trăiască această experiență artistică incluzivă, iar intrarea este liberă! Proiectul InTerConectArt este co-finanțat de AFCN. Proiectul nu reprezintă în mod necesar poziția Administrației Fondului Cultural Național. AFCN nu este responsabilă de conținutul proiectului sau de modul în care rezultatele proiectului pot fi folosite. Acestea sunt în întregime responsabilitatea beneficiarului finanțării. Totodată, Asociația Entuziart anunță și începerea implementării proiectului EEI! - Ecosisteme Empatice Incluzive, în cadrul Programului SAVE („School Anti-Violence Ecosystem”), coordonat de Fundația World Vision România și cofinanțat de Uniunea Europeană printr-un grant cu valoarea totală de 30.000 de euro, proiect care se va desfășura timp de nouă luni, implicând 6 școli gimnaziale și licee speciale și incluzive din București (Liceul de Nevăzători, Centrul Special de Educație Incluzivă, Școala Gimnazială nr 28, Școala Gimnazială 4, Școala Gimnazială 190 și Școala Gimnazială Ana Lugojana) și două din Timișoara (Școala Gimnazială Sfânta Maria și Colegiul Național Bănățean). Proiectul EEI! - Ecosisteme Empatice Incluzive, își propune să promoveze diversitatea și empatia față de situația vulnerabilă a copiilor cu cerințe educaționale speciale (CES) și nevoi speciale, să dezvolte conștientizare față de nevoile acestora reducând abuzul și hărțuirea provenite din partea comunității prin dezvoltarea comunităților de susținere, cât și să informeze beneficiarii și publicul larg în privința drepturilor copiilor cu CES. Prin tehnici artistice, performative și de teatru-forum, proiectul dorește să contribuie la crearea ecosistemelor empatice și incluzive, adresându-se unui număr de peste 2500 de beneficiari direcți - copii, părinți, profesori și specialiști instituționali. Spectacolul de teatru-forum „Zmeii și Cei-Care-Au-Devenit-Furtună” va începe la ora 19:00 și este poate cea mai directă și interactivă parte a evenimentului, dizolvând granițele dintre public și actori și creând contextul pentru o poveste provocatoare despre depășirea obstacolelor și revendicarea propriei voci, într-un moment de reflecție și de dialog deschis. Finanțat de Uniunea Europeană. Punctele de vedere și opiniile exprimate aparțin, însă, exclusiv autorului (autorilor) și nu reflectă neapărat punctele de vedere și opiniile Uniunii Europene sau ale Fundației World Vision România. Nici Uniunea Europeană și nici Fundația World Vision România nu pot fi considerate răspunzătoare pentru acestea. Empatia reprezintă condiția de bază, absolut necesară pentru abilitatea de a accepta diferențele și de reducere a prejudecăților. Astfel, proiectele propuse de Asociația Entuziart sunt menite să creeze și faciliteze procese creative pentru a dezvolta toleranța, empatia și înțelegerea, dar și o atitudine proactivă care susține împuternicirea persoanelor vulnerabile din cadrul comunității. Asociația Entuziart este o organizație non-guvernamentală dedicată promovării și sprijinirii persoanelor de orice vârstă și cu orice tip de abilități, prin activități creative și artistice cu scopuri terapeutice. Asociația se implică activ în oferirea de ajutor psihoterapeutic persoanelor din zone defavorizate, colaborând cu şcoli speciale, şcoli de masǎ, spitale de psihiatrie și D.G.A.S.P pentru a extinde accesul la serviciile de art terapie și stabilește parteneriate semnificative cu instituții academice precum Universitatea București, oferind contexte de practică pentru studenții din Facultatea de Psihologie

Yhdenvertaisuutta juhlistava Outsider Art Festival antaa vuosittain kasvot suomalaisen outsider-taiteen koko kirjolle musiikista kuvataiteisiin, kirjallisuuteen ja elokuviin. Mutta mistä outsider-taiteessa on lopulta kyse ja kuinka genre eroaa perinteisistä taiteen muodoista? Kuka onkaan lopulta in, kuka out – ja onko rajanveto edes tarpeen taiteessa, joka on aina ammentanut inspiraatiota yhteiskunnan marginaalista? Jaksossa sukellamme Helsingissä 15.–25.8. järjestettävän OAF:n backstagelle. Markuksen vieraina ovat festareiden voimahahmot Teuvo “Teukka” Merkkiniemi ja Arttu Partinen, jotka avaavat kuulijoille OAF:n laajaa työtä outsider-taiteilijoiden esiintuomiseksi osana suomalaista kulttuurikenttää. Yhdessä pohditaan myös mielen hyvinvoinnin ja taiteen suhdetta toisiinsa; kuinka voisimme tukea marginaalista ponnistavia taiteilijoita ajassa, jossa entistä harvempi saa äänensä kuuluviin? - - - - - - OAF:n tavoitteena on tukea outsider-taiteilijoiden ja marginaalikulttuurin yhdenvertaista asemaa suomalaisessa taiteessa. Yhdenvertaisuustyö toteutuu yhteistyönä laajan verkoston kanssa. Kukunori on yksi OAF:n pitkäaikaisista yhteistyökumppaneista. OAF festivaalia tuottaa Pertin Valinta, maailman ensimmäinen kehitysvammaisten henkilöiden perustama yhteiskunnallinen yritys. Tutustu 2024 festivaaliohjelmaan: https://outsiderart.fi/
Fast jeder zehnte Mensch in Deutschland hat eine schwere Behinderung. Doch in der Kulturszene sind Menschen mit Behinderung kaum sichtbar. Woran liegt das? Und wie kann man das ändern? Diese Folge stellt drei positive Beispiele vor: Projekte und Menschen, die sich auf unterschiedliche Weise für Barrierefreiheit und Inklusion in der Kultur einsetzen: Die Stiftung Lorenz hat 2009 ein Tanzprojekt mit hunderten Teilnehmern und Teilnehmerinnen begonnen, dass Menschen mit und ohne Behinderung, Sechstklässler und Rentner und viele mehr, zusammen und auf die Bühne bringt. Das Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt ist führend in der Region, was die Inklusion auf, vor und hinter der Bühne angeht. Was macht man hier anders als an anderen Theaterhäusern? Die Sammlung Prinzhorn in Heidelberg widmet sich einem Teil der so genannten „Outsider Art“, Kunst aus psychiatrischen Anstalten sowie von heutigen Psychiatriepatienten, und verschafft so einen spannenden wie intimen Blick in deren Leben und Werk. Moderation: Tanja Küchle
Nel Tamburino di questo sabato, Mariasole Garacci commenta l'insediamento del nuovo direttore delle Gallerie Nazionali d'Arte Moderna di Palazzo Barberini e Palazzo Corsini, scelto dal ministro Sangiuliano, poi ci racconta del nuovo museo della Forma Urbis Romae al Celio, e di una mostra particolare da Richard Saltoun per chi ama la cosiddetta Outsider Art o vuole conoscerla.
Wesley Willis was truly one of the strangest dudes to ever touch a keyboard. A street artist and independent musician from Chicago's south side, Wesley self-produced dozens of CDs before amassing a grassroots cult following among hipsters and music nerds. Wesley was a consummate "outsider artist"; his songs are basically little more than spoken word rants belted over a pre-programmed keyboard track. His lyrics cover all manner of oddities from McDonald's to gangsters to Sucking a Camel's Ass. Wesley himself was a barely-functional eccentric who suffered from schizophrenia and liked to headbutt everyone he met. So why do so many people adore his music? Well it's one of those things you just have to hear in order to understand. His songs are hilarious, charming, and 100% original, and his life story is as tragic and harrowing as anyone you'll read about.

Suzanne Muldowney (not Underdog Lady) wonders about the origins of birthday candles and why we do it. She also explains how to blow out the candles properly.

Suzanne Muldowney , nicknamed Underdog Lady, is a performance artist known for her appearances in parades in various cities throughout the year in her elaborate homemade costumes. She often dresses as the cartoon character Underdog. She came to national attention through her appearances on and calls to The Howard Stern Show to discuss and perform her dance interpretation of Underdog. There she was given the nickname "Underdog Lady", though she personally rejects this name and prefers to be referred to as simply "Underdog" when wearing the costume.

Das „Open Art Museum“ St. Gallen präsentiert ab dem 30. März die Ausstellung „Outsider Art unter dem Halbmond“ mit 25 Kunstschaffenden aus Marokko, Syrien, dem Iran und der Türkei. Giuseppe Gracia unterhält sich mit Monika Jagfeld, Leiterin des Museums, über die Werke aus der islamischen Welt. In der Schweiz ist die Ausstellung «Outsider Art unter dem Halbmond» die erste, die Outsider Art aus islamisch geprägten Ländern thematisiert. Begriffe wie Art Brut und Outsider Art sind aus einem eurozentrisch geprägten Kunstverständnis hervorgegangen. Damit verbunden ist die Idee einer subversiven, unverbildeten Kunst als Gegenspieler zu «art culturel». Kann dieses Verständnis auf andere Kulturkreise übertragen werden?
True Tunes host John J. Thompson recently traveled to Cleveland, TN, to speak at a festival in honor of Rev. Howard Finster – the enigmatic painter, pastor, and musician who first came to international prominence when his art was used on album covers by Talking Heads, R.E.M., and Adam Again, and is considered by some to be the father of contemporary folk art. Painter and woodcut printmaker Kreg Yingst, whose art has graced recent album projects by Vigilantes of Love and others, presented at the festival as well and joined John for a conversation. Plus, we crank up the Jukebox to check out one of the most prolific and accomplished outsider musicians of the last three decades; John Darnielle and his band, The Mountain Goats.

I love Christina Ward. And I love the work she does. I am lucky enough to know some really brilliant and wonderful women. Christina? She is absolutely top shelf. As an author, she does outrageously cool writing on food and food history. Canning and food preservation? She's got you. The relationship between food, cults and class? Read her work. It will blow your mind. Christina also has another gig: she is one of the primary folks at a publishing company known as Feral House. Around since 1989, FH has certainly courted controversy, being one of the very first publishers to release texts on such taboo subjects as black metal, punk, death culture, conspiracies and cults. But FH does not center itself on shock; it works on examining outsider perspectives and the work that Christina and the team there do is vital to our thorough understanding of the world. I invite you to listen to my conversation with Christina Ward in which we discuss all these things and more. The books and writing that they platform place them solidly against misogyny, colonialism, capitalism and classism, making them an incredibly valuable publisher in this day and age.
If the academy, gallery system and museums have the power to define and promote art, the countless works that are ignored make up an entire genre of their own. Despite it being used for decades, “outsider art” as a term comes along with a potentially problematic scaffolding. It can be construed as dismissive, defining untrained practitioners as “the other.” Art historian Colin Rhodes has tried to address that idea in his writing, teaching and research. More than 20 years ago, he published “Outsider Art: Spontaneous Alternatives,” a book that worked to explore the unwieldy genre, while expanding its context and scope. A newly issued version of the book, “Outsider Art: Art Brut and its Affinities” again pushes ahead, adding information and insights from Rhodes gleaned during two decades of scholarship that have taken him across the world. Additional reading The first edition of Rhodes' “Outsider Art” book was prompted by his desire “to write a short critical history of the field, as I saw it at the time, as well as introducing and exploring some of the problematics.” Rhodes has written an array of reviews for The Burlington Magazine, an arts publication based in the UK. In his own writing, the art historian's asked some of the same questions that he responded to in this WAMC interview.

Hossa, diesen Monat geht es genial-dilletantisch zu: Unsere beiden Radioautodidakten Eisi und Meisi widmen sich einem ganz besonderem Thema: Outsider Art aka Art Brute oder auch aka Naïve Kunst. All die Kunst eben, die nicht durch akademischen Druck in eine Form hineingepresst wurde. Denn: Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler und oft sind es diejenigen Künstler, die von aussen auf das gesellschaftliche Treiben blicken, die uns die wirklich spanneden Ideen auf den Sockel hinauffabrizieren können. Und so geht es um den Kunstmarkt und was alles nicht dazugehört, Adorno schaut mal wieder kurz vorbei und singt uns das Lied von der Kommodifizierung und der Authentizität, wir kratzen ein Graffito von der Wand, sehen und hören beim Bachmann-Preis Elefanten beim tröten und malen zu und geben Herrn Loos eine kleine Backenklatsche. Dazu gibt es einen riesen Haufen Interviews mit und über Outsiderkünstler und vielleicht sogar ein paar freshe Gesangseinlagen, zum Beispiel über den Wurstartisten Adolf Dürer und obendrauf noch zwei schöne Texte unseres Eisimeisiautorenpools. Viel Spaß beim Selbermachen wünscht Pappy, der Redaktionspapagey Die Autorinnen und Sprecherinnen: - Lea Schlenker - Lena Kratzer Im Interview: - Klaus Bayer - Marco Brosolo - Frank Behnke - Lili und Thomas vom Kunstraum Nürnberg - Lutz Krutein und Christian Vittinghoff vom Kunstraum Nürnberg

This is (for) hardcore (fans): in celebrating the work of singer, radio host, memoirist and Greatest Living Englishman Jarvis Cocker, we could have picked anything from a Wes Anderson film to a Harry Potter one. Instead, Graham and Ewan have reunited for a look at a true collectors item, his 1999 Channel 4 documentary series about outsider art. See Jarvis tour the world visiting houses, gardens, castles and churches made by people with no architectural training, all of which look better than that description implies. Along the way, we'll be diving into the rest of Jarvis's screen career, including the 2014 documentary Pulp: A Film About Life, Death and Supermarkets, which Ewan has just covered elsewhere. We'll also be talking about the legacy of Britpop - which, yes, means Graham gets to tell the "cagoules" story again - speculating on Johnny Marr's pub habits and deciding, once and for all, what the best Pulp album is. The answer may surprise you!

This week on the show we take our first foray into an incredibly important pillar of the long term care of art: how we document, catalog, and care for archives. Our guest Farris Wahbeh is the Benjamin and Irma Weiss Director of Research Resources at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Farris' role is quite unique in the sense that he oversees and serves as a central hub for all of the various teams that manage information at the Whitney: the archives, library, collections documentation – it is a rather unique and interdisciplinary role for a museum. In our chat we'll explore Farris' decades of experience working in incredibly interesting art archives, and how the Whitney integrates archives and documentation into their care of their collection of over 800 highly complex time-based media artworks.Links from the conversation with Farris> The Whitney Museum of American Art: https://whitney.org> David Tudor's archives at the Getty: https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/guides_bibliographies/david_tudor/index.html> The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art: https://www.art.org/Join the conversation:https://twitter.com/ArtObsolescencehttps://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.

Cal takes the lead for the first time as we explain the astonishing story of The Shaggs; the bizarre cult-like family that produced the absolute strangest rock album ever made. Along the way we take attempt to take a crack at a difficult question: what makes music "good" or "bad" in the first place? How did a trio of teenagers with no musical knowledge produce something that artists like Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain regarded as a classic? How is it possible to appreciate something that, to 99% of human ears, sounds like complete dogshit?You may not know who The Shaggs are, but the moment you hear them you'll never be able to forget it!Instagram: polishing.turdsFacebook: facebook.com/PolishingTurdsPodcastTwitter: @polishing_turdsemail: polishingturdspodcast@gmail.com

Season 2 is off to a good start, we're actually starting to call ourselves by our actual name. Music news? .. we got you. All this, and much more .. here on NTWIC Radio!
Det kan kallas för outsider art, rå konst eller särlingskonst. Det handlar om självlärda konstutövare som inte nödvändigtvis ser sig själva som konstnärer, men som ändå skapar fascinerande konstverk. Programmet är en repris från den 2 oktober 2020. Det genom tiderna mest ikoniska verk som skapats av en så kallad outsiderkonstnär finns i Hauterives i Frankrike. Här började brevbäraren Ferdinand Cheval en dag i slutet av 1800-talet bygga på sina drömmars fantasipalats, Palais Ideal, med stenar som han hittade på sin postrunda. Han byggde i 33 år. Idag är Palais Ideal en turistmagnet. Ferdinand Cheval är bara en av många idag kultförklarade särlingskonstnärer, vars egensinniga verk aldrig upphör att fascinera. I veckans program berättar vi om fler. Intresset för den här delen av konsthistorien sammanfaller med intresset för det undermedvetna i början av 1900-talet. Freudianskt orienterade psykiatriker och konstnärer gick i spetsen, något som kom att påverka den moderna konsten. En pionjär var konstnären Jean Dubuffet, som efter år av samlande grundade det allra första museet för särlingskonst i Lausanne i Schweiz i början av 1970-talet. Och intresset är fortfarande stort för konst gjord av människor utan formell konstnärlig utbildning och kunskap om eller ens en vilja att tillhöra det etablerade konstlivet. Hur kommer det sig? I programmet intervjuas Per Dahlström, intendent på Göteborgs konstmuseum; konstnären Jonas Liveröd; Staffan Backlund och Borghild Håkansson, kuratorer som anordnat flera utställningar med särlingskonstnärer; samt Brooke Anderson, f.d. intendent på American Folk Art Museum i New York. Programmet är gjort av Samanda Ekman.

Season 9 continues!!! We meet Jennifer Gilbert - curator, gallerist and longterm champion of Outsider Art - to discuss the work of leading Japanese artist Shinichi Sawada on the occasion of his first solo exhibition in New York at the awesome Venus Over Manhattan gallery. If you're in New York, we STRONGLY recommend visiting this extraordinary new show!!!!Thirty-eight year old Shinichi Sawada has kept the same schedule for nearly twenty years. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, he attends Nakayoshi Fukushikai, a social welfare facility in Japan’s Shiga prefecture, where he spends the morning working at the in-house bakery, making bread. He spends the afternoons working with clay. Sawada first attended this facility, one of many similar institutions in Japan designed to support people with intellectual disabilities, when he was eighteen years old, shortly after he was diagnosed with autism. In the two decades since, his ceramic beasts – sometimes ghoulish, always fantastical, and deeply redolent of ancient mythologies still coursing through Japanese culture – have attracted the attention of critics and connoisseurs worldwide, notably after a presentation at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.Venus' current showcase of thirty of Sawada’s ceramic sculptures follows a recent museum solo exhibition that traveled in fall 2020 from the Museum Lothar Fischer, in Neumarkt, Germany, to the George Kolbe Museum, Berlin. On view through late March, the Venus exhibition has been organized in collaboration with Jennifer Lauren Gallery, Manchester, UK, who has worked with the artist for many years. In conjunction with its presentation, Venus will publish a generously illustrated catalogue featuring new and recent writing on Sawada’s art.Shinichi Sawada (b. 1982) lives and works in Japan’s Shiga prefecture. Since 2000, he has attended Nakayoshi Fukushikai, a social welfare facility that supports people with intellectual disabilities. In 2020, a solo exhibition of his work traveled from the Museum Lothar Fischer in Neumarkt, to the George Kolbe Museum in Berlin. His work has featured prominently in major group exhibitions around the world, including “The Encyclopedic Palace” at the 55th Venice Biennale, curated by Massimiliano Gioni, and “The Doors of Perception” at Frieze New York in 2019. His work is held in the permanent collections of numerous public institutions, including the Collection de l’Art Brut, Lausanne; the abcd collection, Paris; and Halle Saint Pierre, Paris.Shinichi Sawada runs until March 20, 2021 at Venus Over Manhattan, New York.

In the second episode of Niche @ Nite, Nick and Amanda promise structure, but absolutely do not deliver on that. We do, however, prove we can be serious, too. Masters of pivot, Nick and Amanda discuss any and every fringe pop culture moment that you may have not heard of or forgot about (or suppressed) while Amanda loudly drinks water with ice out of a mason jar and Nick vigorously strokes his own ego—all without the focus of a neurotypical person. From a deep-rooted fear of Grimes that causes night terrors in a 22 year old man, to a slight misunderstanding of what happens in The Help, Rachel Berry's illiteracy, and trading your raccoon skin to go to your one-room schoolhouse. Narrowly avoiding slander lawsuits, they discuss pop culture without any of the refinement of really knowing much of anything about the world around them. If you think about it, this podcast is a great example of Outsider Art. Pop Culture Historians in 2099 will exalt us much like Herodotus, but funnier, more queer, and definitely sexier.

The Major Scale is proud to present a three-part special for Cornell Fine Arts Museum's exhibit African American Art in the 20th Century, on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It's a bounty of bold and brilliant masterworks that showcases paintings and sculptures from 32 African American artists. In our special series, we delve into the stories that tie together the exhibit's themes, including jazz and civil rights, as well as the music with the show's curator, Virginia Mecklenburg. Part 3: Among the many amazing artists in the exhibit is Purvis Young, a native to Florida. We thought it apt since the exhibit since both Cornell Fine Arts Museum and the Major Scale are based in Central Florida that we take the time to explore some of the regional roots. Young, the term "Outsider Art", and the legendary Highwaymen are on the table for conversation as well as some of the Sunshine State's - Slim Galliard, Fats Navarro, Charles Tolliver, Gigi Gryce, Pee-Wee Ellis, Archie Shepp, and more. This special series is a must for curious eardrums. ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between. ABOUT KYLE EAGLE (Host): Kyle Eagle has been a contributing writer and producer for the NPR-WBGO, WUCF, WPRK, Wax Poetics, The Orlando Weekly, Artbourne, and The Fiscal Times, as well as several music and film releases- Light in the Attic's documentary "This Is Gary McFarland", and an upcoming film on composer Jack Nietzsche.

78-year-old Rosemary Otto is a self-taught, outsider artist whose work is both a form of creative expression and has helped in her recovery from mental illness. Born in Germany to an American mother and German father, Rosemary now lives in the house where she was raised: her great-grandmother's house in Lake Worth, Florida, where she paints in between visits to the nearby senior center and her doctor appointments. In today's show, Rosemary talks about the box of crayons that sparked her interest in art as a child, her mother's influence, how she manages from day to day and why living in a nursing home is worse than being in a mental hospital. She also tells us about her new series of paintings, “The Invisible Women,” which challenges us to think differently about the older adults around us.

Today’s story is about a family business that sells nothing. Alan Zorthian and his daughter, Caroline, are the owners and operators of Zorthian Ranch. It’s hard to say what their jobs actually are – other than being Zorthians. Alan’s father, the artist Jirayr Zorthian, built the ranch more than seventy years ago. It resembles a sprawling village built of out of driftwood and washing machines, perched on the northeastern edge of L.A., beyond Pasadena and Altadena, over a wobbly bridge and up a dirt path. Jirayr Zorthian’s most famous work of art was this ranch – the homemade buildings and sculptures as much as the legendary parties he threw there: parties where Charlie Parker performed to an increasingly naked audience; parties where Andy Warhol and Richard Feynman rubbed shoulders with Buckminster Fuller, and they all wandered around amid the goats and the bees and the artful piles of junk. The ranch’s future is uncertain, and so The Organist sent a radio producer, Jen Rice, to find out what remains of Zorthian’s weird legacy. Photos of Zorthian Ranch by Jen Rice and Amanda Siegel.
The story of Chris Stroffolino, who describes his journey from academia — writing Cliffs Notes to Shakespeare, teaching Creative Writing at NYU — to the downtown poetry scene of the 90s, to playing in the Silver Jews on their great 1998 album American Water, to a bicycle accident and eventual self-enforced homelessness – where he currently lives in a 1983 Ford Econoline van retrofitted with a piano in the back, performing for pedestrians. CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES. Produced by David Weinberg.      Photos courtesy of David Weinberg
A day on the streets of New York with the singular Alabama musician and artist Lonnie Holley. Holley always sang while making his junkyard assemblages out of objects including pick-axes and buckets, but it wasn't until the age of sixty-two that he began releasing records and performing live, both of which caught the attention of a younger generation of musicians (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Black Keys) who have since become his collaborators. This episode also features a world-premiere of Apologies, a very short radio play written by Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag) and Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live), who together make the sketch-comedy show Portlandia on IFC. The play was performed by Tig Notaro (This American Life, The Sarah Silverman Program) and Kevin Corrigan (The Departed, Pineapple Express, Buffalo 66). This episode of the Organist was produced by Ross Simonini. The Organist is produced by Simonini along with Jenna Weiss-Berman and Andrew Leland. Banner Image Credit: Matt Arnett
