SUMMARY:Hreinn Friðfinnsson: Conduct 10
DESCRIPTION:Using everyday materials as a basis\, Friðfinnsson continually explores elements of time\, environment\, narration\, memory\, and perception. Friðfinnsson’s practice is characterized by a poignant and recursive nature that creates a framework throughout his oeuvre. Referred to by curator and art historian Hans Ulrich Obrist as “emotional conceptualism\,” Friðfinnsson’s approach to artmaking is often reductive\, and rooted in gestures and materials that reflect the artist’s experience within the world. Friðfinnsson incorporates elements that have an inherent fragility\, such as glass\, leaves\, feathers\, and mirrors\, which underscores the poetic\, ephemeral nature of his practice. \n  \nFriðfinnsson’s exhibition at i8 brings together examples from nearly fifty years of work. The artist’s commitment to ongoing projects and his proclivity for revisiting earlier subjects creates a continuity within his artworks\, despite a variance in mediums. Several sculptures in this exhibition exemplify this approach\, with the artist expanding upon his original ideas as time passes. \n  \nFriðfinnsson’s major installation\, Suspended (1991-present)\, consists of a series of paint stirring sticks mounted to a wall. For years\, Friðfinnsson has collected the stirs from a small family business in Amsterdam that manufactures paint\, translating their purely practical intention into a new visual form. By exploring the aesthetic value of these tools\, Friðfinnsson places importance on the transformative process from utilitarian to artistic. \n  \nSeveral works in the show demonstrate Friðfinnsson’s longstanding homage to the powers of light and reflectivity. To Light Shadow and Dust (3 in corner)\, 2022 is a new iteration of a project the artist began in 1994 using gold-leafed glass shelves to transform corners and create sculptural properties using light. Untitled\, 2022 is additionally a new sculpture from an iconic\, long-running exploration of mirroring\, multiplicity\, perception\, and the limits of the physical form. \n  \nFor Atelier Sketches\, a series Friðfinnsson began around 1990\, the artist traps cobwebs from his studio between two glass plates. The artist noticed that\, despite his absence\, his atelier\, housed in an old school building\, remained active as spiders were busy spinning webs day and night. Memorializing the spiders’ creations became a regular part of Friðfinnsson’s artmaking process.

SUMMARY:Abracadabra
DESCRIPTION:In this diverse exhibition\, new works by contemporary artists are presented especially with children and young people in mind. The works are all in the collection of the Reykjavík Art Museum. Presentation\, mediation and education aims to open up the world of art as it appears today for younger audiences. Along with the exhibition\, there is a rich program as well as digital dissemination. “Abracadabra” is a word deriving from ancient languages that means: What I say becomes a reality. This is a magic word that describes how artists’ ideas become works of art. \nThe Reykjavík Art Museum’s collection houses a large number of works of art\, with about seventeen thousand registered works and sketches of various kinds. When acquiring works of art into the collection\, a choice is made that reflects the diversity of artistic creation at any given time. The exhibition Abracadabra aims to share the main elements that are found in the creative field of today. What characterizes today’s art? What are the artists’ subjects\, methods\, materials and challenges? \n  \nListamenn \nAlicja Kwade \nAnna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir \nAnna Hallin \nAnna Líndal \nAuður Lóa Guðnadóttir \nBaldur Geir Bragason \nEgill Sæbjörnsson \nFritz Hendrik IV \nGuðný Guðmundsdóttir \nHeimir Björgúlfsson \nHildigunnur Birgisdóttir \nHildur Bjarnadóttir \nHrafnhildur Arnardóttir/Shoplifter \nHreinn Friðfinnsson \nKarin Sander \nKatrín Elvarsdóttir \nKatrín Sigurðardóttir \nKristján Steingrímur Jónsson \nLeifur Ýmir Eyjólfsson \nLogi Leó Gunnarsson \nMagnús Helgason \nMargrét H.
