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: Independents Biennial in Liverpool, Joanna Ageborn.

Deviant art participant Joanna Ageborn´s piece “Welcome to Dalarna, the best place in the world” was displayed at the projection gallery during the Independents Biennial, Liverpool. The two females are used as metaphors as a comment on cultural taboos, myth, narrative and feminist ideas, bringing travellers through aspects of life left out of art. The use of oil paint, artificial grass and embroidery combine the materials. Enabling the viewer a clear sense of expansion beyond the frames of the artwork.
