   Abstract : This thesis is an autoethnographic case study of an avant-garde art project – nonTVTVstation - which achieved broad international success but met several difficulties on the Swedish art arena and eventually ceased operations after 10 years. The puzzle the thesis addresses is: Why did the nonTVTVstation, despite its international success, constantly run into trouble in Sweden and eventually fail to survive as a new art concept? The difficulties associated with the local structures represented an “Invisible Foot”, constantly but in seemingly complex ways upsetting our plans; but the nature and details of this Invisible Foot remained hidden during the years of operation.
