SUMMARY:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract geometry was a product of experimental and progressive ideas on the nature and potential of art. The movement came like a meteor into Icelandic cultural life at the beginning of the 1950s and propelled a radical shift in the nation’s art history. The movement was a response to the prevailing aesthetics\, seeking to find new modes of creativity and expression. Geometry was not an isolated art movement\, but a new attitude\, interpretation and expression\, in which the painting was no longer contained by the frame\, the fusion of art forms was possible and the city became the setting for cultural change. \nThe artists presented are Ásgerður Búadóttir\, Ásmundur Sveinsson\, Benedikt Gunnarsson\, Eiríkur Smith\, Eyborg Guðmundsdóttir\, Gerður Helgadóttir\, Guðmunda Andrésdóttir\, Guðmundur Benediktsson\, Hafsteinn Austmann\, Hjörleifur Sigurðsson\, Hörður Ágústsson\, Karl Kvaran\, Kjartan Guðjónsson\, Kristín Jónsdóttir frá Munkaþverá\, Málfríður Konráðsdóttir\, Nína Tryggvadóttir\, Skarphéðinn Haraldsson\, Svavar Guðnason\, Sverrir Haraldsson\, Vala Enard Hafstað\, Valtýr Pétursson & Þorvaldur Skúlason. \nCurators: Brynja Sveinsdóttir & Cecilie Gaihede.\nExhibition design: Hreinn Bernharðsson & Studio Studio.

SUMMARY:We can talk
DESCRIPTION:Do we need to think about what the Nordic Region means? What Scandinavia means? Aligning ourselves under a shared idea can reveal more differences but also more similarities than expected. We share a lot\, but not everything. We also see that these ideas are constructed – by us. Young Nordic artists exhibit works created in our ever-changing reality. \nStarted in 2019\, Platform GÁTT is a collaboration between five prominent cross-disciplinary festivals and institutions in the Nordic region. This event marks the end of the project which took place in five countries\, shining a spotlight on artists under the age of 35. \nThe project is initiated by the Nordic Council of Ministers and is run in partnership between the Reykjavík Arts Festival\, Bergen International Festival\, Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival\, the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands and Helsinki Festival. \nArtists: Constance Tenvik\, Nayab Ikram\, Laura Marleena Halonen (Ilmastokirkko)\, Ronja Louhivuori (Ilmastokirkko)\, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir\, Loji Höskuldsson\, Melanie Ubaldo \nCurator: Starkaður Sigurðarson

SUMMARY:ALDA
DESCRIPTION:ALDA is a poignant installation that erodes the boundaries between dance and visual arts. In ALDA\, choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir draws upon the history of women’s collective physical labour\, in particular its relation to repetitive motions and song\, to generate an event of intimate female assembly\, convergence and coalescence. \nThe driving force behind choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir’s current work has been the creation of movement language and imagery from softness\, sensitivity\, ever-changing movement and the integration of bodies with their environment. This piece is the culmination of many years of collaboration between the choreographer and designer Eva Signý Berger where art forms merge to create a rhythmic wave of experience. \nWhen translated as WAVE\, ALDA not only reflects on the form of movement but also refers to time and history\, the old and the emerging new. \nDancers will inhabit the space June 11 – 26\, and again from August 20 – September 4. \nCurator: Brynja Sveinsdóttir

SUMMARY:Hanna Dís Whitehead: Spin
DESCRIPTION:Hanna Dís Whitehead takes another spin on previous works where interesting materials\, colours\, shapes and history are mixed together in a new way.\n\nThe energy of a chain reaction leads the process\, one idea pushes the next.\nSometimes it would be ideal to take another spin on old ideas with new knowledge in your pocket. Projects and methods have continued to evolve\, so it is time to get a new perspective on them.\n\nIn the exhibition you will see experiments with creating furniture from what was previously seen as a vessel\, new methods in a mix with previous ideas and a play on material feeling. Some processes get the opportunity to be completed while others take the flight. Ideas piled up for the last ten years finally see the light of day.

SUMMARY:Status Check
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Status Check provides an insight into the minds and hopes of ten visual artists and writers of the same generation which are prominent in their own field. The exhibition does not claim to be a comprehensive survey of the status of contemporary art and literature. It rather focuses on the artists’ personal experience of their own past\, present\, and future\, and its artistic communication. Their reflections manifest themselves in sculptures\, graphic collages\, poems\, essays\, multimedia installations. In the exhibition\, the artists combine nostalgic memories with different concepts of time and reality\, pondering upon the production of meaning and ideas of society and identity. The integration of visual art and writing provides a unique opportunity to engage in a conversation on an interdisciplinary basis and creates an artistic intersection that the exhibition revolves around. \n  \nVisual Artists: \nAuður Ómarsdóttir\, Björk Viggósdóttir\, Fritz Hendrik IV\, Guðlaug Mía Eyþórsdóttir\, Páll Haukur. \n  \nWriters: \nBergur Ebbi\, Fríða Ísberg\, Halldór Armand\, Jakub Stachowiak\, Kristín Eiríksdóttir. \n  \nCuartors: \nKristína Aðalsteinsdóttir & Þorvaldur Sigurbjörn Helgason. \n  \nPhoto: Fritz Hendrik\, Electric Meeting\, 2021

SUMMARY:Santiago Mostyn: 08-18 (Past Perfect)
DESCRIPTION:In this newly conceived exhibition at Gerðarsafn\, Santiago Mostyn presents a constellationof photographic and moving-image works created across the Black Atlantic\, focusing on sites of personal significance for the artist. The photo series 08–18 (Past Perfect)\, presented here for the first time\, was created over a decade of returns to Trinidad\, Zimbabwe\, Grenada\, the United States\, and Scandinavia. Sections of the gallery will be hung with wallpaper treated to a cyanotype process\, which will shift and develop a grey-blue tone as they are exposed to the winter sun over the course of the exhibition. \nIn the same space\, a film work\, Drawing for Bellevue Estate\, will be shown. The film was recorded in Tobago\, the island that inspired the landscape of Robinson Crusoe\, and borewitness to many waves of European colonial exploitation. In the work\, we watch four mencut their way through the tropical bush\, marking territory\, but towards an unknown goal. Their mapping recalls the early ambitions of European colonists to claim and industrialize the Caribbean\, but the film also focuses on the island’s largest Silk Cotton Tree\, revered forthe legend of Gang-Gang Sarah\, a historical figure whose attempt to ‘fly home’ to Africa by leaping from the tree ended in her death. The work\, therefore\, becomes a portrait of a landscape where stories of colonialism\, slavery\, mythology\, and personal experience meet. \nSantiago Mostyn’s films\, installations\, texts\, and performances often explore the dissonance of lives lived between different political spheres. His work simultaneously employs footage of historical events\, political and cultural figures\, and racial injustice to speak to his own personal histories.buy zithromax online https://www.mobleymd.com/wp-content/languages/new/zithromax.html no prescription\n Santiago creates an intuitive narrative through layering and collage\, whether through video or installation\, combining new and archival imagery. His research-like process examines questions of identity and memory\, both personal and collective\, and the intersections of history with current events. \nLiving and working between Stockholm and Berlin\, Santiago Mostyn (b. 1981\, San Francisco) holds his BA in 2004 from Yale University. After attending Städelschule from 2006-2007\, he received an MA in 2013 from the Royal Institute of Art\, Stockholm. Santiago was a resident at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in 2021\, and will be a fellow at Schloss Solitude in 2022. Recent exhibitions include ​The Real Show at CAC Brétigny (2022)\, Swimming Pool-Troubled Waters at Künstlerhaus Bethanien\, Berlin\, (2021)\, Deep Listening for Longing at the 2021 Borås Art Biennial\, Sweden (2021)\, With New Eyes at Goteborgs Konsthall\, Gothenburg (2021)\, Your Shadow is a Mirror at Andréhn-Schiptjenko\, Stockholm\, Sweden (2021)\, and Grass Widows at Southern Alberta Art Gallery\, Lethbridge\, AB\, Canada (2020).

SUMMARY:Elín Hansdóttir
DESCRIPTION:Practice: Elín Hansdóttir’s multidisciplinary practice combines sculpture\, photography\, and installation to create site-specific works that visually challenge the audience. Her immersive installations transform a place\, reconfiguring the scale\, geometry\, or even its existence at all. Each of Elín’s works follows its own set of rules\, constructing an individual world with physical and psychological effects on the viewer. In her works\, she explores techniques such as optical illusions\, labyrinthian tunnels\, disorientation\, and playful photography tricks. The unfamiliar physical realities of her installations invite the audience to question one’s own perception of space and time. \n  \nBio: Elín Hansdóttir (b. 1980\, Iceland) is an Icelandic artist based in Reykjavík and Berlin and she currently holds a residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien for the years 2021-2022. She holds a BA from Iceland Academy of the Arts and in 2006 she received her MA from Kunsthochschule Weissensee in Berlin. Some of her recent shows include Open Studios at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany (2021)\, Iðavöllur: Icelandic Art in the 21st Century at the Reykjavík Art Museum in Reykjavík\, Iceland (2021)\, Latent Shadow\, and Portal at Harbinger Gallery in Reykjavík\, Iceland (2020)\, and Glass and Concrete – Manifestations of the Impossible at Marta Herford in Herford\, Germany (2020).  In 2021 she published the book Long Place documenting her 2005 installation Untitled for the Reykjavík Arts Festival.

SUMMARY:Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir & Mark Wilson: Debatable Lands: Dialogues from Shared Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Debatable Lands: Dialogues from Shared Worlds \nSnæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson 2001-2021 \n  \nA mid-career retrospective of the 20-year collaboration between artists Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson. Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson approach their collective art partnership with an ecological and pluralistic view. In a research-based practice they prompt discussion and thought about our changing world\, and our own human role in those changes. Related themes of human and human-othered encounters\, habitat and displacement\, conservation and postcolonial perspectives continue to be central to their work. \nInternationally recognised\, Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson actively address specific\, socio-environmental situations\, where multiple human and non-human interests are in conflict or tension. Many of their projects have arisen from residencies in the Arctic\, in Svalbard\, Alaska\, Iceland and Greenland. Together they have made work in response to multiple sites in Australia\, Europe and the USA. Very often in the form of installation\, their artwork involves sculptural interventions\, found objects and materials\, video\, sound\, drawing\, photography and written text. This is the first time such a comprehensive collection of their work will be seen together. \nThe exhibition is a collaboration with Akureyri Art Museum with an event programme taking place in both museums during the exhibition period. \nsnaebjornsdottirwilson.com/ \nCurator: Becky Forsythe

SUMMARY:The Sea is full of Kind Creatures. The Sea is full of Trash!
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is a world. This world is the ocean. There\, fish and trash coexist. For this exhibition\, children thought about the ocean and their favourite characters from Nordic children´s books. Now\, they invite us to a place to dream about a different nature. We all should take this invitation seriously. It asks us to observe\, to remember the stories we read\, but also to continue to draw – as the children did for this exhibition – and to tell stories. “The sea is full of kind creatures. The sea is full of trash!” is the first exhibition of The Water Drop\, an international project creating cultural programming with and for children. This exhibition is curated by 13 children from the four partner countries of Iceland\, Denmark\, Finland and Estonia. The children have selected works from the collections of the partner museums that connect to the 14th Sustainable Development Goal of the UN: Life Below Water.
