Art Business News, Jan, 2004
Artist Corita Kent once said that flowers grow out of dark moments. The Fortune Society--an ex-prisoner service and advocacy organization--tried to gather some of those flowers recently when it presented "Insider Art: The Ultimate In Outsider Art," a prisoner art show at the National Arcs Club. Conceived and developed by The Fortune Society, the show, which ran from Dec.
4 to 22, featured artwork submitted from nearly 200 prisoners representing more than 20 prisons around the nation. The show was curated by Tim Nye, founder of Thread Waxing Space, a New York-based art gallery and performance space, and a member of the New Technology Committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art, with Lia Gangitano and Miguel Abreu.
