SUMMARY:Patty Spyrakos: Black Moon Fades
DESCRIPTION:The manufacturing of fear of the witch is centuries in the making. The witch is one of the very few images of independent female power that we have; magic was revered in Egypt and never seen as separate from religion\, it was later condemned in most civilizations that centered around organized religion. In witchcraft one has control over their fate\, and is in conversation with that which is beyond\, in organized religion one is subject to the will of god(s). The image of the witch was propagandized to be feared\, or just completely written out\, of history through the ages; witch-hunting arose in conjunction with the rise of capitalism\, and in turn\, with mining the earth for its resources. Witch is respect for nature\, love of life\, and freedom of will.\n“Witch-hunting in all its different forms is also a powerful means to destroy communal relations\, injecting the suspicion that underneath the neighbor\, the friend\, the lover hides another person\, lusting for power\, sex\, wealth\, or simply wanting to commit evil deeds.” – Sylvia Federici\nThe exhibition also highlights the beauty and majesty of sand. In each grain we can find the history of a place. In it we find the history of the earth. “Sand is a substance that is beautiful\, mysterious\, and infinitely variable; each grain on a beach is the result of processes that go back into the shadowy beginnings of life\, or of the earth itself.” – Rachel Carson. In myth\, sand is the creator of dreams.\n“There is a life behind the personality that uses personalities as masks. There are times when life puts off the mask and deep answers unto deep.”\n– Dion Fortune\, The Goat-Foot God\n——\nPatty Spyrakos is a mixed media sculptor and painter living in Reykjavik. She was born in Chicago to Greek immigrants. She had several transcendental experiences in her late teens. Studied sensory systems and perception at university\, as well as ceremonial magick and TCM. She was a major user of irc and the world wide web at its inception. Taught herself HTML and photoshop and found her way into working in ux design in San Francisco for a decade. She had children\, took ceramics classes\, and is now experimenting with material and creates work based on exhibition location\, or themes tied to the evolution of the psyche and an evaluation of the formation of all manner of bonds between self and society. She is into astrology\, trying to remember her dreams\, and finally purchased a record player here in Iceland\, so she’s quite excited about that.

SUMMARY:Brúnn\, bleikur\, banani
DESCRIPTION:We are young\, we learn a song about the colors. Not all colors but enough to be able to take part in the conversation. A melody\, words\, a beginning and an ending\, about something we see. Maybe we are introduced to a specific color for the first time\, either the word or the color\, what we connect the word with. You have probably heard the song before you sing it yourself. This is an experience; learning is an experience. We learn from experience. We learn the colors with a song. \nIf we can learn the colors with a song\, what else can we do? Can we learn numbers with a trumpet? Learn about computers with tree branches? About space from keys? Some of this is obvious\, of course. Like when you learned about pain with a patch of ice on the sidewalk\, or learned about cars when it broke down\, or learned about dreams from death. Some connections are deliberate\, some are accidental connections. \nBecause there is always also something more. We learn something maybe first and foremost: the names of the colors. But in the song there is not only brown and pink\, but also a banana\, and then an orange – which speaks. Color only ever exists as something\, not in the air as simply color\, ok. This is something to remember\, yes\, but then also to interpret. Maybe there is then nothing first and foremost. Maybe you are instead learning how to manipulate your vocal chords\, or how to rhyme\, or how to work together and sing in a group. Maybe it is the alliteration; maybe we are learning first and foremost how we alliterate. I shall not say\, it is not for me to decide. \n  \nAnna Hrund Másdóttir (b. 1981) is an Icelandic artist living and working in Reykjavík. She completed her BSc in Mathematics at the University of Iceland in 2006 and a BA in Fine Art at the Icelandic Academy of Arts in 2010. In 2012 she was a student at the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles\, and finished her MFA in Fine Arts at the California Institute of the Arts in 2016. Anna Hrund has exhibited widely\, both in group shows and solo\, e.g. in the Reykjavík Art Museum\, Kling&Bang\, Kópavogur Art Museum\, Living Art Museum\, Harbinger and Kunstschlager. \nAuður Lóa Guðnadóttir (b. 1993) is an artist that plays on the border of the objective and the subjective\, of sculpture and drawing\, art and reality. She works with mundane phenomena\, figurative imitation\, and the visual language of both ancient and recent history. She seeks to activate the artwork itself\, but always as an object in its own social environment. \nAuður Lóa graduated from the fine arts department of The Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2015. Since then she has worked independently\, and in the company of other artists; she has been involved in group exhibitions such as Leikfimi in Safnasafnið\, Pressures of the deep in The Living Art Museum\, and Everything at the same time in Hafnarborg. She was the recipient of the Motivational Award of the Icelandic Visual Arts Council in 2018\, for the exhibition Diana Forever which she curated and participated in. In the spring of 2021 she opened her first big solo exhibition Yes / No in the D-hall of the Reykjavík Art museum that consisted of more than a hundred Papier-mâché sculptures. \nPatty Spyrakos (b. 1974) is a mixed media sculptor and painter currently living in Reykjavik\, Iceland. She graduated with a BS degree in Psychology/Anthropology at Loyola University Chicago where she focused on Sensory Systems\, Perception\, and Evolutionary Psychology. She has 20 years of experience working in visual and interaction design and as Creative Director for a major tech company in San Francisco. She studied ceramics for 3 years at the Lincoln Square Pottery Studio in Chicago. The form her work takes is driven largely by process in relation to experimentation with material\, while content is often informed by environmental influences based on residency or show location. Her body of work\, while reinventing itself per show\, also carries underlying themes tied to an evolution of psyche\, mental and emotional struggles\, transitory states\, the supernatural\, and an evaluation of the formation of all manner of bonds within and between self and society. She has exhibited in Chicago\, Los Angeles\, Hong Kong\, Reykjavík and held her first solo exhibition in New York this year at Padre Gallery. \n
