Carnival, curated by Joe Coleman at Jeffrey Deitch’s New York gallery, is a vibrant and chaotic exhibition running until June 28. It celebrates marginalized individuals in an immersive environment filled with maximalist installations, vintage sideshow banners, and grotesque sculptures. The exhibition, characterized by its rebellious spirit and familial connections among artists, transcends traditional outsider art by emphasizing intimacy. It explores themes of difference and desire, offering both shocking spectacles and poignant moments that invite viewers to rethink their preconceptions about art and eccentricity.
The spectacle has returned to the gallery, featuring an eclectic mix of the freakish and flamboyant that blurs the line between art and oddity.
Curated by Joe Coleman, Carnival is not just an exhibition but a living entity, embracing maximalism and subversion with vibrant installations and effervescent energy.
Coleman's community-driven approach in Carnival creates a familial energy, transforming the narrative of outsider art into an intimate, shared experience.
Through moments of tenderness and reflection, Carnival challenges viewers to reconsider notions of difference and deviance, merging playful camp with critical insight.
