SUMMARY:Helena Margrét Jónsdóttir: Unreal Replicas
DESCRIPTION:Helena Margrét works with the classical qualities of painting to mimic the visible reality as a form of representation. Her ideas manifest themselves in a kind of magical-realism\, painting objects and creatures with great precision that she finds either in the environment or in cyberspace. Furthermore\, the subjects of her paintings are more often than not replicas in synthetic material. This creates a double replica – first in the subject and then in the representation on canvas. \nFake spiders are no threat to anyone and nylon flowers carry no smell. \nHelena associates these synthetics elements with fears\, desires\, anxieties\, and longings. Materials and textures that imitate life but will remain unchanged long after our time. \nHelena Margrét Jónsdóttir (b. 1996) is a visual artist based in Reykjavík. She graduated from The Iceland University of the Arts in 2019 after having studied fine art at The Reykjavík School of Visual Arts and The Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag. Recent solo exhibitions include Liquida (2021) at Plan X Art Gallery in Milan\, Italy and A Ghost of Another Ghost (2021) at Hverfisgallerí. Helena also participated in the group show What it Seems – Reality on Canvas at Kjarvalsstaðir in 2020. \nThe D-Gallery exhibition series started in 2007 and there\, emerging artists who are contributing to the development of the local contemporary art scene are invited to hold their first solo exhibition in a public museum. \nCurator: Björk Hrafnsdóttir

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.
