SUMMARY:Arna Óttarsdóttir: Soon\, Again
DESCRIPTION:i8 is pleased to present soon\, again\, Arna Óttarsdóttir’s second solo exhibition with the gallery\, which will open with a reception from 5-7pm on 20 October and be on view until 26 November 2022.\n\nThis presentation will feature eight new weavings by Óttarsdóttir\, all made by hand on a loom in her Reykjavík studio. As is consistent throughout her practice\, the artist uses her own notebooks\, which are filled with thoughts and drawings\, as source material for her works. By incorporating sketches and less formal visual elements into the weavings\, Óttarsdóttir infuses her work with a spirited\, personal energy that permeates the exhibition.\n\nThis new body of work by Óttarsdóttir combines elements of abstraction and figuration and explores the physical properties of material. At times\, the artist eschews a tight weaving technique in favor of a loose\, drawing-like approach. The patterns\, textures\, and colors within Óttarsdóttir’s tapestries vary within individual works\, allowing the artist to investigate the aesthetic intricacies weaving allows.\n\nArna Óttarsdóttir (b. 1986) lives and works in Reykjavík\, Iceland. In 2021\, her work was featured in Iðavöllur: Icelandic Art in the 21st Century at the Reykjavík Art Museum. Óttarsdóttir had a solo exhibition\, Everything is great\, at the Living Art Museum in Reykjavík in 2019. Her work has been exhibited internationally at exhibitions including Nordatlantens Brygge\, Copenhagen; Turner Contemporary\, Margate\,; Åplus\, Berlin; and Cecilia Hillström Gallery\, Stockholm.

SUMMARY:Iðavöllur: Icelandic Art in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Reykjavík Art Museum focuses on the microenvironment\, with an aim of displaying the growth of the Icelandic art scene. The whole Hafnarhús becomes the setting for a powerful exhibition of new works by young artists who may be considered to be in the lead for their generation\, and assumptions can also be made about the larger context of Icelandic and international contemporary art. It’s been a while since we checked in with what’s brewing among the fastest growing and most prominent artists and reflects subjects and approaches of the present. \nThe title of the exhibition is Iðavöllur. It is borrowed from Völuspá and occurs twice in the poem. Iðavöllur is the place where the gods meet when the world is constructed and then reassemble at following Ragnarök to build a new world. Hafnarhús takes on the role of such a meeting place\, as a location for creative artists in the maelstrom of change at the start of the new millennium. The theme of the exhibition is the creative and transformative power contained in the work of artists and it reflects diverse subjects at a time of technological and social transformation. \nThe artists are selected based on how they react to the present and how their perspective influences the perspective of the viewer. These artists have shaped the Icelandic art scene at the start of the new century. People of this generation have a unique position because of the junction they stand at: They fall between the X and Y generations\, at the birth of the millennium generation. The artists remember a world without internet and smartphones\, they experienced the economic collapse and the MeToo revolution\, they sense the boundary between geochronological age and the Anthropocene and are faced with a climate catastrophe. They participate in building an art scene which is undergoing a professionalisation with the arrival of art academies\, international galleries and art history publications. They represent a generation who deals with increased speed\, more flow of information\, blurry borders\, fluctuating gender\, changes in communications\, new technology – all while still remembering the way it used to be. In a sense\, they are experiencing the end of the world and contributing to a new beginning. \n\nArtists:\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Rún Tryggvadóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArna Óttarsdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArnar Ásgeirsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBjarki Bragason\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDodda Maggý\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElín Hansdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEva Ísleifs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuðmundur Thoroddsen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHildigunnur Birgisdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPáll Haukur Björnsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebecca Erin Moran\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStyrmir Örn Guðmundsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÖrn Alexander Ámundason\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurators:\n\nAldís Snorradóttir\nMarkús Þór Andrésson\nÓlöf Kristín Sigurðardóttir
