It’s the first Friday of the month, and there’s two things you should be doing — going to Mainframe Studio’s first Friday event, and listening to the second episode of my new podcast, “FolkArtwork and Friends”.
In the first episode of FolkArtwork and Friends, I spoke to my friend Kylie Ryu (@kyliejryu), the Associate Director at Ricco/Maresca Gallery in New York City.
Today, I am delighted to sit down and talk to my friend Alex Huninghake, the Executive Director of Outsider Art Museum & Gallery in Louisville. I talk to Alex about becoming disillusioned with fine art in Austin, Texas, growing up in Kentucky, and having folk art around his whole life, how his mom helped convince him to start a gallery for outsider artists, and I thank him for giving me such a great hat.
Plus, a deep dive into the life and art of Minnie Adkins, a 91-year-old self-taught wood carver from Kentucky who has become internationally renowned for her hand-carved and painted wooden animals.
Be sure to check out Outsider Art Museum & Gallery‘s latest exhibit, “Melanated Messages”, a group show dedicated to contemporary Black art spanning multiple generations in Louisville.
