ABOUT
margo · outsider art
The term ‘outsider art’ was coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in the 1970s to describe art created by people outside the mainstream of contemporary art. These artists, often self-taught or with unusual life experiences, produce works that do not follow traditional aesthetic conventions and are not influenced by the dominant art movements of their time.
The ‘margo’ project seeks to create a dialogue between digital and print, highlighting the diversity and richness of outsider art while exploring the spaces of the marginal with a contemporary vision.
HYBRID SPACE
Hybridity dissolves various dichotomies such as physical-digital, formal-informal, individual-collective.
The core values of this project include authenticity, inclusion and collaboration. These values not only guide the development of the project, but also reflect a commitment to creating an authentic, inclusive and collaborative space that highlights the richness of outsider art and design.
The project's mission is to provide a platform with an innovative design system that combines physical and digital elements for the exhibition and dissemination of outsider art.
