"The question of whether artistic proficiency (apart from technique) can be taught is an old one \u2014 and never was the question more relevant than now, with MFA programs popping up faster than you can say \u201C20-year payment plan.\u201D It isn\u2019t surprising then that \u201Coutsider\u201D artists \u2014 who didn\u2019t go to art school or who remain outside the art school culture \u2014 offer an increasingly potent allure for those seeking respite from the self-referential, homogenized or theory-drenched work that can be annoyingly commonplace in academia. \u201CTo me, that\u2019s the most exciting thing [about the genre], that it hasn\u2019t been homogenized,\u201D says Zeitgeist\u2019s James Puntigam, who curated the gallery\u2019s show of French outsider artist Gerard Sendrey that opened Friday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
