Philippe Cohen Solal (Gotan Project) and Mike Lindsay(Tunng) continue their audio, visual and digital exploration of America’s most celebrated Outsider artist Henry Darger, by today sharing the next instalment of the project with the stunning, panoramic official video for “Onward In The Fight” featuring Adam Glover & Hannah Peel, taken from the critically acclaimed album ‘Outsider’. Watch HERE.
Created by Gabriel Jacquel, the new ‘Onward..’ video is inspired by Henry Darger’s 15000 page novel, The Story of the Vivian Girls in the Realms of the Unreal, where he describes the courageous little girls’ battle against adults who want to enslave them. The Vivian girls are at the heart of this new animation video, which sees one of the heroines ride across the wide plain followed by friends and family on horses to face a powerful army.
Philippe Cohen Solal says, “Henry Darger was not only an awesome visual artist, but also a prolific writer. Onward In The Fight should give us the courage to confront obscure forces. Onward!”
Outsider will also have its own 7 part podcast ‘Outsider: The Amazing Story Of Henry Darger’ launching on 12th Aprilon Henry Darger’s birthday. It will be presented by Philippe and Mike, who will go an audio adventure exploring Henry Darger’s life in conversation with scholars, artists and international art curators.
The adventure into Darger’s life is explored further by the official websiteoutsideronline.co, which is presented as an animated flip book, including a teaser of the new podcast series and will be the most comprehensive gathering of Darger’s work online, with an interactive map connecting the collections of international museums Intuit Art Center Chicago, Moma NYC and Musee d’art Moderne, Paris.
