Angus-Hughes Gallery & Sheffield Fringe present: Mainstream 2.1
With films by, Laure Prouvost, Charlie Tweed, Margaret Salmon, Maria Marshall, Harold Offeh, Yaron Lapid, Fred Lindberg, Erica Scourti.

Friday, 9 December, 6pm – 9pm

Angus-Hughes Gallery, 26 Lower Clapton Road, London, E5 0PD

Live operatic intermissions by The Society of Imaginary Friends.

"Mainstream 2.1" presents a series of artists' films brought together by their varying strategies in the use of actuality as a material object.
Much variation can be sited in how artists and filmmakers approach the use of actuality as a creative, political, and philosophical means for art production. Embedded in these works, dialogues and playful critiques can be found of the documentary form, of documentation, performance and spectatorship.

Perhaps in a way similar to the Hitchcockian principle approach to actors as object material "willing to be utilised and wholly integrated", it could be suggested that here actuality, meaning documentary material itself is the material object used to underpin an artistic authority in the pursuit of a captive audience.
This 'authority' exists not only in bodily presence and performance documentations as in Laure Prouvost, Fred Lindberg or Harold Offeh's work, but also in concept as in Erica Scourti's use of unauthorised archive material, a pastiche on 'becoming', or Margaret Salmon's seemingly covert recording of a couple’s domestic argument.
Providing an altogether more sensory experience for the spectator, these artists provide landscapes of discomfort, which draw in, charm, seduce and repel.

Sheffield Fringe is an artist-led initiative exploring the confluence point between art & documentary practice. It was first staged as a nano festival in June this year to coincide with Sheffield Doc/Fest.
Sheffield Fringe was born out of a desire to create a platform dedicated to an expansive understanding of how we make and view documentaries, incorporating a multitude of suggested strategies of reform.

Fred Lindberg

Fred Lindberg`s art practice is a plethora of personal expressions molded into a versatile chaos of what becomes 'Fred the Artist'. He organizes international art festivals, publishes poetry, makes music, art photography and films. He has a television show called Shit TV... and sometimes he even paints.

When Fred is asked about his multifaceted practice he often replies: I just tell stories, and when I manage to do it well, some people seem to enjoy it."

Slade Occupation:

Our Statement

THE OCCUPATION OF THE SLADE SCHOOL OF FINE ART

We believe that the current proposed cuts to university funding threaten the existence of arts and humanities education in England and Wales. It is for this reason that we have made the decision to occupy the Slade School of Art building.
We demand that the government provide the same protection for arts and humanities in universities as is provided for the sciences. We vehemently oppose the transformation of the university system into market based model; education should be a public debate, not a private economy.

Therefore we the students of the Slade are offering a space for the assembly of all art colleges in England in order to organise non-violent direct action against what we view as an attack by the government on the arts. This is not a virtual exchange, this is a physical assembly. We are demonstrating the value of physical space for art education through the continuation of our day-to-day activity, as well as by inviting other colleges to participate in open events, lectures and workshops. Our occupation is not designed to be disruptive, nor will it engender any damage to the building. Rather, we want to highlight the value of intellectual and cultural exchange within art courses. This is not a boycott, it is an act of support.

The first exhibition of the Gesamtkunstwerk 2012 project brings together all the artists involved in this ‘total artwork’ which will manifest itself as an artist’s road trip across the United States in 2012. This international troupe of artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, etc. will be art, make art, and exhibit art and more from the West to the East coast in the summer of 2012.

The practises showcased in the Debut Salon Show come from a range of media, though here they are represented as wall-based work, hung in the style of a Parisian Salon exhibition. The style of hanging is not in accordance with the Salon’s values, but rather an understanding of the aesthetic style of hanging large group exhibitions. This seems particularly appropriate for such a large group show, and as a historic parallel with the idea of the gesamtkunstwerk.

This first exhibit is intended as a launch for the forthcoming project, and an opportunity to view the work of all who are involved—though this group will be evolving and changing in the two year interim. In the two years before it’s manifestation, curated group exhibitions will happen under the umbrella of the gesamtkunstwerk project. This framework provides a starting point for further exhibitions, events, and enquiries into multi-disciplinary practise. The artists involved come from 12 different countries in total, and the majority of them work in the United Kingdom. When the final troupe embark on this monumental road trip, the different cultures will grant a transient yet lasting contribution to the contemporary landscape of the USA. During the road trip of travelling exhibitions, gigs, and performances in various institutions, the opportunities to engage in cross-cultural artistic debate will be vast. The international mix of cultural and artistic production will demonstrate the contrasts and similarities that exist between modes of production in the US, Europe, and beyond. The Debut Salon Show is the only occasion where all participants are seen exhibiting together, until the Gesamtkunstwerk finally happens in 2012.

Fredrik Fred Lindberg
Från Wikipedia

Fredrik T Lindberg, född 2 augusti 1972 i Vänersborg, och uppvuxen i Trollhättan, är en svensk/Brittisk konstnär. Lindberg är mest verksam i England där han är mer känd som Fred. Han började sina konst studier på KV konstskola och efter årskurs två fortsatte han vidare till Göteborgs konstskola där han stannade i fyra år. konst studierna fortsatte han sedan på London Metropolitan University för att till sist bli antagen till Magister programmet i konst på en utav University of London's mest kända skolor, Goldsmiths College.

Lindberg har ställt ut på flera av Sveriges Konsthallar. Ställt ut måleri på gallerier runt om i Sverige samt på kändis krogen Spy Bar i Stockholm. Hans text konst/poesi har publicerats vid flertal tillfällen i publikationer som Unexpected Item[1] eller Knights Move[2]. 2009 illustrerade Lindberg framsidan av Metro's nya bilaga, Metro Weekend.[3]

Sedan 2006 har Lindberg anordnat den årliga internationella konst händelsen The (deviant) Art Festival[4] på Konsthallen I Trollhättan samt på sprida platser i staden. Denna konstfestival har engagerat hundratals konstnärer.

2005 var Lindberg i samarbete med I.D.E.A.London en av konstnärerna på utställningen Post-bureaucracy på ICA: Institute Of Contemporary Arts[5]. 2006 visas Lindbergs konceptuellt konstverk Shit TV på “Independents Biennial” i Liverpool. Shit Tv visades även på den sjätte Biennalen vid namn "Ideas Of March" på det kult förklarade ABC NO RIO[6] New York. 2007 blev Fred Lindberg inbjuden av Patrick Brill[7], bättre känd som sin pseudonym Bob and Roberta Smith, att deltaga i utställningen Peace Camp[8] på The Brick Lane Gallery. Andra konstnärer som deltog var bl.a. Gavin Turk[9], Wolfgang Tillmans[10].

Snart arbetslösa Sofia gjorde tavelfyndet

Sundsvall - 08:18 Här står 34-åriga Sofia Johansson, gravid och snart arbetslös. Men som kan ha gjort ett ordentligt konstklipp. På den exekutiva auktionen i Sundsvall på prylar från Frank Andersson, köpte hon en tavla för 600 kronor. Ett konstverk som egentligen är värt 60 000 kronor.

Franks tavla var ett riktigt konstklipp

Vilket klipp. Den man som köpte den stora tavla som hängt i Frank Andersson lägenhet i Sundsvall och som kronofogden klubbade bort i fredags är värd minst 60 000 kronor. Mannen köpte den för 600 kronor.

värd 60 000. Tavlan såldes för första gången på en utställning i Trollhättan. I dag är den värd mijnst 60 000 kronor men gick för 600 kronor på en exekutiv auktion efter Frank AnderssonFoto: Hans-Göran Engström

Det var i fredags som kronofogden i Sundsvall sålde ut bohaget från Franks lyxvåning i Sundsvall.

Frank är skyldig hyresvärden Norrvidden drygt 100 000 kronor i obetalda hyror.

På auktionen, som samlade rekordpublik, gick en stor tavla för struntsumman 600 kronor.

I dag säger konstnären själv, Fredrik T Lindberg, till Dagbladet:

– Jag tror att sålde tavlan på en av mina första utställningar i Trollhättan.

• Vad är den värd i dag?

– Minst 60 000 kronor. Så mycket skulle jag få om den var med på någon av mina utställningar.

Fredrik T Lindberg är en utbildad konstnär och bara i år har han varit representerad på två utställningar i New York och kommer inom kort att medverka i två kända konsttidskrifter i London.

– Just nu befinner jag mig i Sverige, annars är England min bas, berättar Fredrik T Lindberg.

I England och USA går han under namnet Fred Lindberg eller bara Fred.

Han vill gärna komma i kontakt med den man som köpte tavlan i Sundsvall.

Men i går kunde ingen på kronofogden svara på den frågan.

Men mannen gjorde ett rejält klipp. Från 600 kronor till 60 000.

Förlorarna heter Frank Andersson. Och kronofogden

Auktionen i Sundsvall inbringade totalt 5 000 kronor.

Gathered on the banks of the River Lea, Hackney, London, examined, selected and relocated to the Mersey, Liverpool, this salon explores traditional subject matter, densely hung and re-framed for modern eyes.

TTela Newspaper article about The (deviant) Art Festival 2008

2008-06-26T09:01:00.000-07:00

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.

ENDERS 1:
Some Things Worth Knowing

25th June - 6th July

Opening Wednesday 25th June 6-9pm

Alex Bowen + Niall MacDonald + Sarah McNulty

Sayshun Jay + JD Hollingshead + Joe Watling + David Smith

Tomaz Kramberger + Alex Schneider + Natalie Sanders

Mark Metcalfe + Janice Harding + Fred(rik) T Lindberg

Tim Pratt + Flore Nové-Josserand + Steve Hall + Edward Newton

Cedric Christie + Emmett Walsh + Jay Tan + Craig Andrews

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.

Poems by TheFred in Issue:2 of UNEXPECTED ITEM

2008-06-01T23:00:00.000-07:00

UNEXPECTED ITEM is an Art writing Fanzine ran and created by Peter Rich and Gregory Sodergren.
In this second issue of the zine Fred has contributed with five poems written in 2007. Here is one of them:

Domestic crises by Fred

The moment for honest conversation
was clearly not now

The air infected with germs
and bad sleep

The night`s were cold
yet wet from sweat (get up and change the sheets)

The early sleepless mornings
was a constant headache

I stroked some blue hair from her forehead and said:

don't worry honey
It`s not us
It`s just the flu

Apart from the usual collaboration with Konsthallen Trollhättan, Fred Lindberg & Joanna Ageborn is in discussions with new partners about spreading The Deviants outside of Trollhättan as another step to take over the world.

THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD!

2008-04-09T05:58:00.000-07:00

Charlton Heston said: They will have to rip my rifle from my cold dead hands!
Well, now the iconic actor who used Hollywood to create a righteous and heroic character of himself, is dead. He used this image of himself frequently as a spokesman and President of the NRA (National Rifle Association) to fight for every Americans right to wear arms.
Personally I have to struggle to feel any loss.
Personally I wont be seeing him in hell cause it doesn't exist.
And even if it does... That's not where I'm going.

Alterpreconsistancy: The Manifesto

2007-07-07T07:07:00.000-07:00

ART

To justify artist’s professional, parasitic and elite status in society,

He must demonstrate artist’s indispensability and exclusiveness,

he must demonstrate the dispensability of audience upon him,

he must demonstrate that no one but the artist can do art.

FLUXUS ART-AMUSEMENT

To establish artist’s nonprofessional status in society,

He must demonstrate artist’s dispensability and inclusiveness,

he must demonstrate the selfsufficiency of the audience,

he must demonstrate that anything can be art and anyone can do it.

ALTERPRECONSISTANCY

To realize artist’s alterprefessional status in society,

He must demonstrate partial artistic consistency and elusiveness,

he must demonstrate with the audience against art.

he must demonstrate that he consists of concepts, and the only thing consistent is the prediction (presence) of death.

Therefore, art must appear complex, pretentious, profound, serious, intellectual, inspired, skillful, significant, theatrical, it must appear to be valuable as commodity so as to provide the artist with an income.

To raise its value (artist’s income and patrons profit), art is made to appear rare, limited in quantity and therefore obtainable and accessible only to the social elite and institutions.

Therefore, art-amusement must be simple, amusing, unpretentious, concerned with insignificances, require no skill or countless rehearsals, have no commodity or institutional value.

The value of art-amusement must be lowered by making it unlimited, massproduced, obtainable by all.

Fluxus art-amusement is the rear-guard without any pretention or urge to participate in the competition of “one-upmanship” with the avant-garde. It strives for the monostructual and nonheatrical qualities of simple natural event, a game or gag. It is the fusion of Spike Jones, Vaudeville, gag, children’s games and Duchamp.

Therefore, alterpreconsistancy is a unique practice without any pretentiousness, concerned only with a severe will to merge art and life, require only self chosen skill and any or none institutional value.

The values of being alterpreconsistant must be highlighted by determination and belief in one’s own obtained practice of making art.

Alterpreconsistinism is to participate in the competition off enjoyment. It strives to revolt against any elite, including its own.

Any game, prank or fusion of artistic styles to spite institutions are highly promoted.

Image of Fred's work "communication" published in Issue 5, Lost and Found.

Within issue 5 we aim to consider this in relation to the theme “lost and found”. What have we discovered through noticing? What do we lose by not noticing? Why do some notice and others ignore and discard? Is our society losing awareness or do we live in a cluttered culture where with so many 'things' we are simply becoming ignorant?

We hope you enjoy the show...

Extraction of REVIEW by Alison Carter regarding Fred's work.

2006-08-12T05:21:00.000-07:00

REVIEW by Alison Carter

The (deviant) ART Festival

Pumphuset Gallery, Trollhättan,

Sweden

. 14 – 23 July 2006.

"In the video installation ‘In Search of the Miraculous II’, Fred Lindberg stands by a canal in the dark and then sets fire to his jacket, which catches and flares in the night. He waits until it’s burning steadily, and then carefully removes it, together with his shirt, trousers and underwear and adds them to the pyre. Naked, he dives into the blackness of the water, and does not re-surface. The piece pays homage to Bas Jan Ader, the Dutch artist whose own disappearance became – intentionally or not – part of his work. Another piece, ‘Artist Feals Fat’ (sic), is a series of photos documenting himself cutting the word FAT into his stomach with a blade. There is, needless to say, barely a spare centimetre of flesh on Lindberg’s torso – and certainly no fat. He revels in provocation, and is prepared to test himself to physical limits with wit –despite some quirky spelling."

This is an extraction of the review, read the whole piece at:
http://deviantartfestival.blogspot.com/

Add posted in the paper as a part of the "Fat" piece.

Reads:
"Artist is feeling fat and wants to trade all his artworks in his possession for a liposuction.
Call for agreement.

FRED&GREG at Institute Of Contemporary Art, I.C.A.

2005-06-04T10:11:00.000-07:00

I.C.A turned upside-down on the 5th of June.

Goldsmith’s I.D.E.A, invites Guerrilla Art Unit brought together by the legendary Bob&Roberta Smith to perform at the I.C.A.
This event will take place all day on the 5th of June.
Included in this group is Fred&Greg, a multi cultural Art duo known from their performance appearances in East-London.
At this event working under one of their suitable trade mark slogans
“We propose to appose, we refuse to abuse.”
Among many things they will be challenging the audience by getting their shoes of in a “barefoot-protest against war and bureaucracy” as well as the exhibitors by offering to approve anyone or anything they see fit as an “officially approved work of art by Fred&Greg”.

This take-over bid of one of London’s highly regarded art institutions promises to be a feast of music, theatrics, controversy and humour.

Expect the unexpected…
