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.

(deviant) participant: Fred Lindberg

One of Fred`s artwork will be the "FAT" box. This box is covered with still`s from his video piece "FAT" where he writes the word fat with a razorblade. The box will be linked with an ad in the newspaper saying: "Artist feels fat, will trade his entire collection of own work for a liposuction, call for agreement." The box is art in progress and wont be finished until the fat from his stomach is stored in the box. During the (deviant) Art festival Fred will also be reporting for "Shit-TV" and have his video piece "In search of the miraculous II" on display.
