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)Artists: Robert Luzar



Robert Luzar will be performing ‘Weathered’ a highly physical street drawing that will stretch along the Kungsgatan, Trollhättans pedestrianised main drag. This drawing will be made using 50 kilos of raw quarried chalk, and will take him a whole day to complete. The drawing process requires immense stamina; only ending when the artist can no longer physically make marks.
Using performance and concrete abstraction – marks made from lines composing plastic forms – in conjunction with various materials and objects, Robert’s works explore the tension between non-representation and pure presentation and he says “themes such as time and language appear directly in my forms of drawing, more to be exhausted than for their celebration”.
Robert will be performing ‘Weathered’ all day on Sunday the 15th. The drawing will last until it is washed from the streets.
