Lexicon Infernali
Sep 03, 2015 - Oct 15, 2015
The inaugural exhibition "Lexicon Infernali" makes a nod to the 17th century French book "The Infernal Dictionary", of which an original rare copy of the coveted 6th edition will be on display, an illustrated catalogue of apparitions of the underworld. The exhibition functions in a similar manner, as an encyclopedic lexicon of artists whose works have a shamanic sensibility, whose art is highly personalized - as are the works of genuine outsider artists (Stephen Romano's biography includes several years as manager of a prominent "Outsider Art Gallery" in Manhattan. Romano also produced with DAP a well received monograph on Charles A.A. Dellschau of which Tom Paterson wrote in Raw Vision magazine "(Dellschau is) widely acknowledged as an outsider art master in the same league as Darger, Wolfli and Ramirez."), vernacular photography, folk art, as well as works by several international contemporary artists who are producing some of the most challenging works today.
