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) Artist's other projects:

Charlotte Young was recently involved in a performance art-cum-comedy-cum-music cabaret devised and produced by Mel Brimfield and Sally O’Reilly entitled Brown Mountain Cabaret, both an ode to and a pastiche of the Black Mountain College.

Charlotte performed in a piece devised by artist Claire Hooper wherein she played the part of the very concerned friend of an epileptic who began to fit violently as soon as Sally O’Reilly began giving a lecture on Activism.

Appart from the above: As well as filming the new series of Shit TV with Fred, Charlotte has been working on new video-performance pieces wherein she sets herself tasks and then tells the camera why she can’t perform them, or short monologues about inane or banal incidents that has recently experienced and thought the viewer might be interested to hear it.
