This exhibition was subtitled, "Five Contemporary Outsiders." The colored illustrations of each of the five artists featured in this exhibition are printed on heavy stock paper. The commentaries in French and English of their work are printed on lighter stock paper. The print included in this catalogue was an add-on to the purchase. This exhibition, which was seen by the Sackners is well summarized by Lauren Danchin's essay in the catalogue. He writes, "Nothing at first could bring together the cave painting style of Christine Sefolosha, the exaggerated fetishes of Joseph Kurhakec and the pseudo tibetan manuscripts or the ritual shields of Lidia Syroka. Nor the little vegetable people living in Jephan de Villiers' legendary land, the Arbony, or Marc Pessin's fictitious archeology with its proliferous writing. Nothing except a common affinity with what could be named the archaic perception of the world, a common feeling for the materials, the techniques and the sensitivity of ancient civilizations: either the primitive societies from the agricultural period that preceded industry or the Paleolithic tribes from prehistorical times. They share a common nostalgia for eras where man, having just recently invented writing, or even before that, was still imbued in magic and primitive thought, keeping a far closer contact with nature than in our society of laboratories, offices and factories. Five artists are shown here, in their idiosyncratic geography: five imaginary tribes, five countries, five worlds. Yet the primitivism of their purpose, rather than a conceptual attempt, artificial and deliberate, is the result of a deep obsession, a spontaneous reaction of their sensitivity, and for this reason, it touches us. A primitivism technically refined, nourished by scientific knowledge and by a passion for archeology, history and anthropology, thus able to operate far away from art brut but also from these regressive utopias denounced by Jean Baudrillard - the synthesis of the two extreme poles of our personality." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
