NÖJE & KULTUR

Opretentiös konst för alla

Publicerad 26 juni 2008 kl 4.15.
Konst som berör och integrerar publiken. Det är målet med konstfestivalen The (deviant) Art som nu arrangeras i Trollhättan för tredje året i rad. - Vi vill få bort prettostämpeln, säger konstnärerna och arrangörerna Fredrik Lindberg och Joanna Ageborn.


Med start på lördag invaderas stan av svenska och brittiska konstnärer som ska visa upp både fasta utställningar och göra konstaktioner under den tre veckor långa konstfestivalen.
Arrangörerna utlovar konstnärliga uttryck och händelser för alla smaker. Som tidigare år kommer festivalen att ha en stark betoning på installationer, performance och platsspecifika verk. - De fasta platserna blir Konsthallen och Pumphuset. Däremellan och runt omkring kommer vi också att sprida ut oss på gator och torg, berättar Fredrik Lindberg, före detta Trollhättebo som numera är bosatt och verksam som konstnär i London.
I årets upplaga av The (deviant) Art Festival deltar ett 60-tal utländska och 16 svenska konstnärer med verk. I Konsthallen, där förberedelserna nu pågår för fullt, kommer publiken att kunna ta del av bland annat fotografier, teckningar, videokonst och skulpturer. Och Joanna Ageborn planerar att hänga upp tomma ramar och sedan på plats skapa egna verk i form av teckningar och målningar som kan fylla dem.
- Vi vill visa att konst inte behöver vara något krångligt och oåtkomligt, anpassat för en klick intellektuella. Och att det kan vara mer än att bara titta på en tavla. Därför integrerar vi publiken i skapandet, om de vill, säger Joanna. Flertalet av de medverkande konstnärerna kommer också att närvara under festivaldagarna. Något som är viktigt enligt arrangörerna. - Publiken ska ha möjlighet att ställa frågor och diskutera konsten direkt med konstnärerna på ett avspänt sätt. Mötet är det centrala. Konstfestivalen pågår 28 juni till 20 juli.

In my work with the forest I reconnect to old myths and childhood memories. The specific place of most of my pictures are taken in a forest that I know well since I was a child. A forest and a place where I have played, built huts, hidden out when sad or angry. The forest is a place which I miss when I’m away. The forest is a place where I am alone but without feeling lonely. My work does also expanded outside the forest to deal with myths about other people and places. Both which I find very difficult and interesting.

–There was once a time when the attention turned towards another then, tried to pull it into a future and make memories of it. It could have been thus. Or thus. The frame was there and the body tried leaning against it, but the touch stopped at the images blocking the way. A shut door to an inaccessible room. A covered window, wallpaper and the wallpaper’s patterns, all merged in an experience of perishing. Events that had passed when the attention gracefully and carefully tried to conquer them never returned. The same for all events, then as now. And it was easy to regard the impermanent as the border to an unconquerable emptiness or nothingness. The distance between the passed events and the images of them does not decrease. You feel your way and the patterns change.
Extract from a conversation between Kristina Bength and Fredrik Ehlin, translated by Kalle Mellberg, publiched in the cataloge for the third year exhibition The Loose Knowledge Movement at the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm.

(deviant) Artist's other projects: Sayshun Jay & Fred Lindberg in show: Some Things Worth Knowing

For it's inaugural show, ENDERS presents an unthemed group show.

Each artist has been invited to exhibit some thing they feel merits awareness.

Nothing particularly different from what they should be doing anyway, except the title also allows for the exhibition of articles outside of the artist's usual practice and reemphasises value exchange between producer and audience.

Therefore, the show will consist of a mixture of artist's works alongside objects/information, which reflect an artist's interests.

(deviant) Artists reviewed in degree show.

"Other highlights include... ...“Quercuc Ano” by Matt Blackler, a fabulous remaking of a section of tree trunk by winding oak veneer round and round into growth rings". "Also very interesting and novel was the archive of Clem Fatale and Fatalism constructed by Charlotte Young and I couldn’t decide whether it was a spoof, and I’m still not sure."
