In 1992, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art presented a groundbreaking exhibition titled “Parallel Visions” which traced the connections between modern artists and their self-taught colleagues. This exhibition played a major role in establishing the field of “Outsider Art” as it exists today. However, just as our view or modernism has changed in the intervening years, the boundaries between “outsider” and “insider” art have gradually begun to blur. Parallel Visions II: Outsider and Insider Art Today, will provide an incisive update on the subject by pairing self-taught artists with “mainstream” contemporary artists.

Participating artists include: Roger Ackling, Chelo Amezqua, Emery Blagdon, Joseph Crepin, Henry Darger, Lucky de Bellevue, Steve DiBenedetto, Marcel Dzama, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Sam Gordon, Chris Hipkiss, Ray Johnson, Augustin Lesage, Michael Nedjar, Raymond Pettibon, James Siena, Adolf Wölfli, Anna Zemankova, and Rosa Zharkikh.
