SUMMARY:Uncanny Virtuality
DESCRIPTION:Uncanny Virtuality focuses on digital art\, photography\, the moving image\, realism\, and hyperreality. Each artist explores themes of reality and virtuality through their perspective practices\, commenting on a disconnection\, anxiety and irony that is unique to our current generation within a new-media world. Through a digital expression\, they find satire in the stresses of the 21st century\, attending to modes of existential crisis\, climate disaster\, ecology\, human nature and capitalistic corruption. Their works lead us to ponder how the realm of hyperreality can lead to abstracted\, disconnected experience. \nAs a jumping off point\, “the digital” is referenced in Uncanny Virtuality as a way of thinking and operating\, as opposed to a strict medium or mode of creation. The artists work within 3D media\, animation\, video\, photography and digitally informed sculptural and painterly practice\, pointing to the blurring lines between reality and simulated existence. Using the moving image and the digital as a starting point to critically comment on a social state of affairs\, the artists of Uncanny Virtuality reference digitally experienced worlds as a way to critique the global state of abstraction\, destruction\, and corruption we have found ourselves in. They acknowledge the modes of dissociation and anxiety of existence that come from simulated realities and within the digital\, questioning thus what the future holds within a society that has become so dependent upon online realities and digital expressions of sociality. \nThe participating artists are Kristín Helga Ríkharðsdóttir\, Meriem Bennani\, María Guðjohnsen\, Bita Razavi\, Helena Margrét Jónsdóttir and Inari Sandell. \nCurated by Daría Sól Andrews.

SUMMARY:Down Иorth: North Atlantic Triennial
DESCRIPTION:What are the subjects\, stories\, and challenges that artists in the Arctic region share\, in light of the changes happening in this part of the world today? \nFeaturing both emerging and more established artists living today\, Down Иorth presents art from an unprecedented cross-section of artists living in Maine\, the Canadian Maritimes\, Greenland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Faroe Islands\, Finland\, Sweden\, and Denmark\, as well as indigenous peoples throughout the region. Artists are modern-day explorers\, investigating poignant themes and capitalizing on art’s emotional impact and narrative potential as a catalyst for change. Climate and environment changes\, and a difficult history of colonization of indigenous groups\, have generated new works of art that address a cascading series of social\, economic\, political\, and environmental challenges throughout the region. Artists also confront the illusion of the North as a remote wilderness and challenge the romanticized illusion of an untouched land and its perceived homogeneity. The selected works\, in all media\, trace shared narratives in the field of contemporary art\, reflecting novel affinities and chasms within societies and among nations around the North Atlantic. \nDown Иorth is an art exhibition made in collaboration between three art museums\, the Portland Museum of Art in the state of Maine in the USA\, Bildmuseet in Umeå in Sweden and Reykjavík Art Museum in Iceland. There\, 30 artists show new works that deal with the changes that are taking place in society\, nature and the ecosystem in the Arctic at the beginning of the 21st century and are largely due to climate change. The exhibition travels between the collaborating institutions in February 2022 until October 2023. It is accompanied by a thorough catalogue and public programme. The project is made possible by the generous support of institutions such as Iceland Climate Fund\, Arctic Cooperation Programme\, Embassy of the United States of America\, Nordic Culture Fund and Nordic Culture Point. \nArtists: Anders Sunna\, Andreas Siqueland\, Ann Cathrin November\, Høibo Anna Líndal\, Arngunnur Ýr\, Bita Razavi\, Christopher Carroll\, D´Arcy Wilson\, Frida Orupabo\, Gideonsson/Londré\, Hans Rosenström\, Jason Brown aka.
