COURSE DETAILS

Overview

This collection of three short historical films explores a range of topics relating to artists working outside the cultural mainstream.

The first film is a visit to the Living Museum, a communal art studio on the grounds of Creedmoor State Psychiatric Hospital in Queens. The second, Imaginary Dwellings, focuses on four fantastical building projects by visionary architects. The final film, Magic Mirror of Aloyse, is a case study of the classical Art Brut artist, Aloyse Corbaz. Each film in its own way addresses fascinating convergence of creativity and mental health leaving open the question as to whether illness mars or magnifies artistic production.
