• Wild Art

    Wild Art is a forthcoming book by Joachim Pissarro and David Carrier that explores the vast proliferation of art forms that occur beyond the perimeters of what we call the established art world, or the Art System. These are forms of art that tend to escape the attention of art experts, art academics, art curators, art critics. They fall short of catching the eyes or ears of cultural channels. This is an introduction to the vast number of wild creative forms that proliferate outside the well-groomed art world.
