The Image Pool Curator’s Tour
@ DePaul Art Museum
935 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago IL 60614
Opening Wednesday, July 31st, from 5:30PM - 6:30PM
Please join Intuit, in collaboration with DePaul Art Museum for a tour with David Maruzzella, PhD., curator of DPAM’s current exhibition The Image Pool.
The exhibition investigates artists from DPAM’s permanent collection typically described as “folk,” “self-taught,” “outsider” or “intuitive,” due to their seeming distance from the institutional sanctions of art schools, museums, galleries and mainstream commercial success. Intentionally problematizing the insider/outsider distinction, this exhibition—featuring works by Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Mr. Imagination, Marva Lee Pitchford-Jolly, June Wayne, Derek Webster and Joseph Yoakum–instead frames these works as exemplary of what it means to be a contemporary artist rather than an exception.
The tour will explore the aesthetic materials from personal and imagined histories, ambient culture and elements of the modern world that influenced these artists and the fundamental shifts that prompted a renegotiation of their deserved place in art history.
