On the Road: London’s Museum of Everything

London collector James Brett mounted his rambling and raw Museum of Everything, in a former dairy and recording studio in the quaint Primrose Hill neighborhood.

The exhibit pulled together 200 outsider artworks from Brett’s collection, alongside commentaries by other artists, curators and cultural figures including David Byrne, Ed Ruscha and Annette Messager.

Wall text near the start of the show explains it all:

“For these artists there are no studios, no press junkets, no art fairs, no magazine spreads. Instead there are treasure troves of untrained work, discovered under rocks, in basements and attics, its creators often unaware their art would every see the light of day.”
