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: Lee Maelzer at Gallery Carter

Lee Maelzer The way of seeing and language developed creates an interdependence which makes the artist own her subject and the subject in turn control her inescapably. Her paintings, seemingly both nostalgic and traditional, have a sting in the tail, offering a contemporary vision of the world told with traditional and technical craft. The observation of Vuillard with the realities of today. A graduate from The Royal College of Art, she has work in international collections and she has exhibited widely in Britain in group shows such as the prestigious John Moores painting exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, the BP Portrait Award, the Hunting Art Prizes and in Germany, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, New York and Switzerland. She has carried out residences abroad including an Arts Council of England Residency in Colima, Mexico and the Abbey Fellowship at the British School in Rome.
