SUMMARY:Katrín Sigurðardóttir: Til staðar
DESCRIPTION:Nýp Project Space presents Katrín Sigurðardóttir´s work\nTIL STAÐAR \nTIL STAÐAR is one of three installations/exhibitions by Katrín Sigurðardóttir in three separate regions of Iceland: Hoffell at Vatnajökull\, Skarðströnd in Breiðafjörður and Svalbarðshreppur in Norður-Þingeyjarsýsla. \nThe artwork TIL STAÐAR is an installation in the the natural environment. The exhibition consists of three photographic works\, and an archive documenting the making of the works. The underlying theme of the work is the interplay between local resources\, human intervention and the processes of nature itself. The title TIL STAÐAR literally means “Towards a Place”\, but can also mean “present”\, “in-place”\, and even “a dedication to a place”. The work comprises the 2021 summer exhibition of the Nýp Project Space. \nIn recent years Katrín has in her art worked with the elemental processes of nature and the earth. These processes\, traditionally the subjects of archaeology and geology\, bear witness to the past\, demonstrate the memory in the material itself\, and reveal fragments of the history of the earth and humankind. Katrín uses techniques borrowed from industrial mining; she extracts materials from the earth\, using processes and transportation methods that have been linked to industrialisation and colonialism. \nHowever\, in TIL STAÐAR\, Katrín’s methods differ in that she returns the materials back to their point of origin. For a brief moment in time\, she gives her material the form of a building\, made of unfired bricks/paving stones\, and preserves this in photographs. Then\, she arranges the bricks back at the place from which they were taken\, and the processes of nature take over from there; earth returns to earth. \nIn Katrín’s work\, there is a multilayered narrative to be read about the lot of humanity – themes that art throughout history has engaged with: the transience of human existence\, and the ability – or inability – to face that transience. The work also poses some interesting questions concerning today’s fixation on the market\, the perceived worth of art\, the art material and arts financing and capital. Under what conditions does art and culture flourish? Does art always find its way to its audience\, or is it at all times dependent on corporate patronage? \nDuring her 30-year career\, Katrín Sigurðardóttir has exhibited sculptures\, drawings\, photographic art and large-scale installations that attempt to affect and transform the subjective experiences of the viewer. Katrín’s work has been exhibited widely\, both in Iceland and abroad. She represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale\, the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil\, Momentum in Norway\, and the Rabat Biennale in Morocco. \nHer 2010 solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York attracted widespread attention. The National Gallery of Iceland and the Reykjavík Art Museum own works by Katrín\, as do as international museums such as the aforementioned Metropolitan Museum in New York. \nShe represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale\, the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil\, Momentum in Norway\, and the Rabat Biennale in Morocco. Her 2010 solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York attracted widespread attention. \nKatrín’s exhibition will be in Nýp Project Space from May 22 into fall 2021.

SUMMARY:Eternal Recurrence
DESCRIPTION:In this extensive exhibition\, the works of Jóhannes S. Kjarval (1885-1972) create a thread which connects different periods in time. His art is displayed along with the works of artists who have been prominent on the Icelandic art scene in recent years. \nShortly after Kjarval’s death\, art historian Björn Th. Björnsson (1922-2007) wrote an article where he discusses Kjarval’s contribution to Icelandic art history and says that his work is “never bound to one particular time\, but always contains renascent memories.” This shows the great respect which Icelanders have had for Kjarval’s art\, but also the fact that at any given time\, the viewers bring their own experience and attitude to the viewing. Kjarval’s influence is unquestionable\, and in the exhibition\, the spotlight is on his influence on Icelandic artists. This can manifest in many different ways; be obvious and decisive or appear in a more ambiguous way and without intent. \nKjarval’s most common and beloved subject was Icelandic nature and landscape\, but he also painted many portraits and fantasy images where creatures and figures emerge\, and various nature phenomena are personified. The artworks on display here are created in diverse media\, expressing different approaches to these subjects. \nKjarval plays a large role in the history of Icelandic art and culture\, and he has been a role model and inspiration for generations of artists. His persona and life’s work surrounds us\, for good reason. Kjarval’s work is preserved and examined at Reykjavík Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir. Selected pieces are always on display and diverse exhibitions show his career in a wide context\, often with works from the museum collection or with special exhibitions that focus on particular aspects of his creative process. This exhibition places Kjarval’s work in a dialogue with the works of younger\, contemporary artists. Thus\, the exhibition invites us to become better acquainted with one of the greatest Icelandic artists\, but also the works of prominent contemporary artists who have made their mark on the Icelandic and international art scene. \nWe experience a break in the visual field in Ólafur Elíasson’s work. For the first time in Iceland\, a series of paintings which Ragnar Kjartansson painted in Eldhraun – inspired by a Kjarval painting in the artists possession – is on display. The video installation Lava&Moss by Steina is one of the more comprehensive works in the exhibition\, and there are new paintings by Eggert Pétursson. Among other artists who take part in this exhibition are Guðrún Einarsdóttir\, Hrafnkell Sigurðsson\, Kristján Guðmundsson\, Ragna Róbertsdóttir and Sigurður Guðjónsson. \n\nArtists:\n\n\n\n\n\nJóhannes S.
