Transvision
An Introduction to Haitian Art
The Black and White Building
London
June 15th-30th, 2017
Alex Latour, founded THE smARTest PROJECT in London in 2015 as a collaborative platform initially representing Haitian art and artists, with plans to progressively integrate international artists from many more points on the globe.
The objective of the THE smARTest PROJECT is to advocate and raise the profile of the artists involved, and to afford them a better opportunity to develop and sustain their careers by bringing their work to a wider audience. The goal is to return the profits from a world of art that is relatively unknown to projects that have a long-lasting social and economic impact.
THE smARTest PROJECT work with other outsider groups to create art events featuring new and as yet less well known, or even known unknown names, in spaces not usually reserved for art shows. Way beyond the gallery circuit. The next show, Transvision - An Introduction to the World of Haitian Art at the Black and White building in EC2, is co-curated by Creative Debuts.
Transvision promises "the ingenious supra vision of Haitian artists." Through their eyes, you will step into the unseen, the magic, the poetic, the inner creativity of Haiti. Beyond any prejudice, any normality, Haitian artists will offer you a new experience of seeing and living art. Alex says, "A new era for Haitian Art and Art globally has just started."
The artists include Gino Tintin, Kayava, Levoy Exil, Makenol Profil and more.
Launching on June 15th with an evening of Haitian Music it's not to be missed, admission is free although advanced booking is recommended through EventBrite. The show was initially planned to run until June 23rd, but has been extended to June 30th.

I like to look at things while listening to things I am not looking at. But doesn't everyone.
about Lee Paul »»
Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
