Vending Art and Ideas
The Outsider Art In A Box is a new project using vending machines to sell art in public spaces in the city of Vancouver BC. Outsider Art In A Box is cheap, direct and accessible to the general public and provides a space for artists to
distribute their work.
The project makes the relationship between the public and art direct and tangible, with the aim of building a bigger contemporary art audience in Vancouver BC.
Outsider Art In A Box is both an
alternative and a complementary space to the existing independent art spaces in Vancouver BC. The project provides artists with a space to distribute works as diverse as:
jewellery ~ badges ~ found objects ~ instructions ~ patches ~ ‘zines ~ comics ~ audio tapes ~ prints ~ paintings ~ collage ~ sculptures ~ gadgets ~ poetry/prose ~ toys ~ flipbooks ~ puppets ~ constructions ~ textiles/knitting/crochet ~
CDs/DVDs
The space also invites artists to make work that is responsive, immediate, experimental, instructive or just frivolous. |
