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.

CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM 1 and 200 SKIN TENT are the remenents of a collection of lever arch files. The plastic covers of the files have been stripped off and woven together to form a huge multi purpose rug which serves as a tent, play mat, blanket and picnic rug. The mechanisms have been attached to the ends of discarded structural materials to form a kit which can be erected, dismanteld and re-erected with ease. During the show I will be inviting visitors to use the construction system to create new forms. If you are interested please email me on olipop7@hotmail.com to book a day of the show. It is recommende that you bring workmans gloves. By using discarded office materials to form new structures the urban landscape is re-vitalised with its own waste.
