D.A.F.T. Related events & participants: THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL in Trollhättan

Fred Lindberg started THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL as a society and network of contemporary artists in London 2005. The thought behind these art events was to put people and ideas together rather than single pieces of art. To create a foundation for collaborations. In 1937 Hitler exhibited “Entartete Kunst”, 1962 came Fluxus events like “The Festival of Misfits” and today our Art is striving to exist in-between being singled out as a degenerate, or choosing to be a misfit.

The Round Chapel and Art:

Maybe some of you happened to catch the prior exhibition by Anthony McCall at the “chapel”. His piece was a sculptural light installation consisting of two 12-metres-high-pyramid-like projected forms. The piece is called “BETWEEN YOU AND I”.

ATTENTION!

Due to the recent big interest and possible growth of the (deviant) ART festival there might be a shortage of beds in the cottage village next to the gallery where most of the participants will be living. This means that the first people to hand in and get their proposals approved to be in the show, will be the first people to secure a bed space in a cottage. Late comers might have to arrange their own living. (We will help of course, but it WILL be more expensive.)
