SUMMARY:SEQUENCES X - Freyja Reynisdóttir: ABACUS: calculating truths (Miniature installation)
DESCRIPTION:Freyja Reynisdóttir uses her work to conduct performative experiments in the search for subjective “Truths“\, deeming the artistic experience suitable for communication regarding the undefined yet tangible in our perceptions and understanding of the self or our supposed shared reality. Freyja approaches her subjects through her own writing. She creates formulas and recipes\, objects\, drawings\, paintings\, installations\, sounds and videos\, depending on which medium is suitable at any given time. \nI am fascinated by definitions of Truth. I like to think there is a common sensuous language we share and experience through being amongst things and objects. The experience translates into a language of words and concepts\, subjective to each individual. \nWhether Truth stems from balance\, an ineffable feeling\, temporary subjective aesthetics\, a personal narrative\, cold-blooded convenience or from some other undefined place\, a playful definition of Truth can be explored. \nI invite you to participate in my experiment with the work Abacus. \nFreyja Reynisdóttir (b. 1989) is an Icelandic artist who is currently pursuing a master’s degree in free art at the Iceland Academy of the Arts. Freyja graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Akureyri in 2014 and participated in numerous exhibitions in Iceland and abroad.buy avana online healthcoachmichelle.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/inc/en/avana.html no prescription\n Freyja is one of the founders of the Kaktus Art Group in Akureyri and one of the curators of the collaborative project RÓT.buy cialis black online healthcoachmichelle.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/inc/en/cialis-black.html no prescription

SUMMARY:SEQUENCES X - Lucky 3: PUTI
DESCRIPTION:The piece PUTI is a social choreography that reflects hyperreality\, racial roles and hierarchy by referencing an 8-hour workday. \nUnreliable narrators at best\, our voices speak of diaspora-of people experiencing constant displacement\, renovation and salvaging heritage in the face of cultural loss. With an unapologetically unabashed honesty and vulnerability\, the collective addresses issues\, but not limited to; the Filipino immigrant experience in Iceland\, displacement and racism. \nOpening Performance \nLucky 3 (est. 2019)  is a collective founded by Darren Mark\, Dýrfinna Benita Basalan\, and Melanie Ubaldo; Icelandic artists of Filipino origins. \nDarren Mark (b. 1993) graduated with a BA degree in Fashion Design from the IUA in 2017. He moved to Iceland from the Philippines when he was only eight years old with his family. Darren has exhibited at Dutch Design Week Eindhoven\, Designer’s Nest- Copenhagen Fashion Week and Design March. He mainly works with clothing\, from design and artistic aspects where the deconstruction-reconstruction method is applied\, sustainability is also an important part of his working methods were discarded or second hand clothes\, deadstock materials are thought of and used as a resource alongside new materials for creations. \nDýrfinna Benita Basalan (b. 1992) also known under her artist name Countess Malaise\, is born and raised in Iceland. She graduated with a BA in Art and Design from Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2018 and has been an active artist in multiple disciplines and venues. Dýrfinna is also a member of The Blue Collective which is a collective of artists who work exploring  contemporary philosophical thematics in an amorphous format. In her painting and drawing\, her style often found femme and fantastical and full of fantasy. \nMelanie Ubaldo (b. 1992) graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from the IUA in 2016 and is currently in the MA Fine Arts program in the IUA. In Melanie’s work\, image and text are inextricably linked\, where deconstructionist paintings incorporate text with graffiti-like vandalism oftentimes of her own crude experiences of others preconceptions\, thus exposing the power of immediate\, unreflected judgment. She has taken part in various exhibitions at home and abroad. Her work has since been acquired by the Reykjavik Museum for its permanent collection. \n

SUMMARY:SEQUENCES X - Gunnar Jónsson: Í viðjum
DESCRIPTION:5 minutes. Always only 5 minutes until. Abundance in the restraints of a cycle\,  overflow of everything only 5 minutes away. Just arrived\, almost there. Always only 5 minutes until. \nI move away in abundance. Instead of being an efficient vessel for construction\,  who receives and delivers right away\, I undergo the current. A rushing stream of ideas\, a plethora of abundance all that is and can be imagined\, becoming a kind of apathy. Numbness. Not indifferent\, on the contrary. Full of consciousness and intention\, but numb. Like in the movies. \nToday’s race manifests in the symbol of infinity\, gets tighter with every step and is measured in time and space. \nGunnar Jónsson (b. 1988) was born in Reykjavík\, Iceland\, but moved to his hometown Ísafjörður shortly after. He attended the Icelandic Academy of Arts from 2009 to 2012\, prior to that he took a preparatory year in Reykjavík School of Visual arts.buy ivermectin UK https://www.bodybuildingestore.com/wp-content/languages/new/engl/ivermectin.html no prescription\n He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Iceland and abroad.

SUMMARY:SEQUENCES X - / CREATION / DESTRUCTION /
DESCRIPTION:/ CREATION / DESTRUCTION / is the title for the exhibition of Sequences X which takes place at The Living Art Museum and Kling & Bang at The Marshall House. The title seeks inspiration in the lecture of artist Sigurður Guðmundsson\, TIME\, from 1969\, and can be found in the festival’s catalogue: \nThe phenomenon of time is important in all art. Art is a very suitable means of travelling in time and space. The first paths to a new time usually run through works of art. \nWe perceive new art and in this way see a new world which is not a dream but reality. We forsake the old world\, apart from a few things which are called cultural baggage or preserved works of art. From these we can always see where we have been. \nTime destroys all things\, but what perhaps stays the longest are the traces of the human spirit\, the evidence of truth: art. \nSigurdur Gudmundsson\nNovember 1969\nLecture Norræna Húsið\, Reykjavik \nArtists at The Living Art Museum: \nBjörk Guðnadóttir (b. 1969) seeks inspiration for her work in many places and uses various materials\, such as linen\, wool yarn\, plastic\, plaster and wax. She has held solo exhibitions and been selected for numerous group exhibitions\, both in Iceland and abroad. She has received many grants and her works can be found in the collections of art museums and collectors. Björk is a member of the Icelandic Sculptors’ Society and the Living Art Museum. \nGuðlaug Mía Eyþórsdóttir (b.1988) completed a BA degree from the Fine Art Department of Iceland University of the Arts in 2012 and later studied at the MA program in Fine Art at the Koninklijke Academie in Gent\, Belgium\, from which she graduated in 2018. Guðlaug has initiated a broad range of projects within the arts and has worn many hats as a publisher\, curator and researcher. Between 2012-19 she initiated\, along with fellow artists\, the exhibition venues Kunschlager in Reykjavík and ABD Klubhuis in Antwerp\, Belgium.  In her practise Guðlaug concerns herself with the sculptural aspects of our surroundings\, observes the forms\, textures and acts they consist of and explores whether daily activities can be materialised. \nGunnhildur Hauksdottir received her MFA from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam\, Netherlands in 2006 and her BFA from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2002. Her works and performances have been exhibited and performed widely throughout her career\, she took part in the Silver Lining\, Collateral Event at the 56th International Art Exhibition at the Biennale di Venezia in 2015. Among the institutions that have displayed her works are the Galeria Municipal do Porto\, the National Gallery of Iceland\, the Reykjavik Art Museum\, the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein\, the Uppsala Art Museum and the 21 Haus at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna. Gunnhildur has strong ties to Seydisfjordur and has lived there on and off since the start of her career. She is currently based in Reykjavik and Berlin. \nPétur Magnússon (b. 1958) was born in Reykjavík. After high school\, he attended the Icelandic School of Arts and Crafts (forerunner of the Iceland University of the Arts)\, then continued his studies at Accademia delle belle Arti in Bologna\, Italy\, and finally at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunste in Amsterdam\, Netherlands. After graduation in 1986\, he lived in Amsterdam until 2003 when he returned to Iceland. In the Netherlands\, he was one of the founders of the Boekie Woekie art bookshop\, which is also a gallery and a publisher. He worked at the company for some years\, and Boekie Woekie presented his art at the Art Frankfurt fair in Germany in 1996. Pétur studied painting in Italy and printmaking in the Netherlands\, and this is evident in his older works. Over time he has moved into photography and sculpture\, often bas-reliefs\, and a combination of steelwork and photography is a common method. His art seeks to challenge the senses while offering new potential for perception of the environment. As a rule\, his works are site-specific. Material and perspective often play a major part in distorting the environment in a philosophical and humorous manner.

These concepts often refer to cultural development\, creation of meaning\, as well as perceptual concepts of time\, space and materiality. With this in mind\, his work has continuity in concept rather than appearance. The disconnection of metaphoric meaning and the creation of reason through dynamic conjunction rather than repetitive connections can be seen as an overall motive in artistic practice. \nÁsta Fanney Sigurðardóttir (b. 1987) is an artist and poet. Among other things\, she works with notes\, sounds and words in her works\, as well as performances. Her work often revolves around the unexpected and ridiculous\, erasing the borders between different media. In 2018\, she displayed her performance Lunar-10.13 & Gáta Nórensu at the Reykjavík Arts Festival\, where poetry\, music\, installations and performances merged into one. Her works include a cod opera\, humming choir piece\, sound poetry choir piece and a vowel composition. Her latest book is called Gluggi – draumskrá (Window – Dream Register) and contains a list of dreams. Ásta has performed her compositions\, poetry and performances at various festivals and exhibitions in Iceland and abroad. She received the Kópavogur poetry prize in 2017 and was nominated for Bernard Heidsieck literary prize\, Pompidou in 2021. \nHailing from the peripheries of Iceland\, Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir (b. 1987) follows inner logics when approaching composition\, often integrating sound and other phenomena into an indivisible whole. Her “elemental style” (Steve Smith\, The New Yorker) has been commissioned and performed widely and by renowned groups such as the Oslo Philharmonic (NO)\, Iceland Symphony Orchestra (IS)\, International Contemporary Ensemble ICE (US)\, Decibel (AUS)\, Avanti! Chamber Orchestra (FI) and Nordic Affect (IS)\, while featured in major festivals and events such as Tectonics (Glasgow\, Reykjavík\, Athens\, Oslo)\, Nordic Music Days (London\, Bodø\, Reykjavík)\, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart (New York)\, Only Connect (Oslo)\, Classical:NEXT (Rotterdam)\, SPOR (Aarhus)\, Cycle (Kópavogur)\, Ultima (Oslo)\, Dark Music Days (Reykjavík)\, Sigur Rós’s Norður og Niður (Reykjavík)\, KLANG (Copenhagen)\, ISCM’s World New Music Days (Beijing)\, Sound of Stockholm\, Prototype (New York) and more. Bergrún holds a master’s degree in composition from Mills College where she studied with the likes of Pauline Oliveros\, Fred Frith\, Zeena Parkins\, and Roscoe Mitchell. \nNýlókórinn – The Icelandic Sound Poetry Choir var established 2003 to perform sound poetries. The choir performs twice to three times a year and has performed diverse works by Icelandic and foreign artist\, like Magnús Pálsson\, Philip Corner\, Eric Andersen\, Hörð Bragason\, Kristin G. Harðarson\, Rúrí\, Hörpu Björnsdóttur\, Ástu Ólafsdóttur\, Eiríksínu Ásgrímsdóttur\, Áka Ásgeirsson\, Magneu Ásmundsdóttur\, Þorkel Atlason\, Rod Summers\, Níels Hafstein\, Guðmund Haraldsson and Magnús Jensson.

SUMMARY:SEQUENCES X: Time Has Come
DESCRIPTION:Time Has Come is the title for the tenth Sequences art biennale\, held between 15-24 October 2021. The title is a reference to the ephemeral social space which the festival makes for itself each time. \nThis year’s festival includes diverse artists’ dialogue\, with their environment\, history or other artists. Dialogue is by nature defined by the moment and context. It consciously and subconsciously includes the zeitgeist and prevailing ideas of the society at any given time. Where ideas within societies are dynamic and subject to change\, like societies themselves\, we get an opportunity to read the flow of time and the development of various social ideas. By stirring the accepted conventions in a society\, we can stir up the time. \nThis year\, the festival boasts a diverse group of artists who are all generous with their time\, ideas and creative energy. They are able to drive projects and create a platform for dialogue and participation. This often resolves in artwork that include direct communication between the artist and a certain space or environment\, and the connection to the audience created by the work. The dialogue between artist and receiver can then become an artwork in itself\, it assumes a form that lives inscrutably in the mind of the receiver. The result is an artwork that communicates humane behaviour and ideas of the human condition and freedom. \n  \nThe honorary artist of Sequences X – Time Has Come is Elísabet Kristín Jökulsdóttir. Elísabet has the ability to weave threads between various forms of art and she uses her artistic voice to tell it like it is but also to remind us of the magic. \nElísabet’s possesses the language of the goddess and she appears to us in different images\, creating and destroying in turn\, she on the inside and the outside and dances on the line between. In her work\, Elísabet is analytical of her own self and the nation’s and she deals with the Utopian role of art as a shifting force in society. Her strength lies in the dynamic and diverse relationship she has with her viewers and listeners\, where she herself is like a public work of art\, constantly stirring the ideas of the society and thus stirring time and participating in the endless recreation of the world. \n“The genesis of various religions do not normally state that a world is being created for the first time. […] But while nothing else is stated\, we can imagine that the world is being recreated instead of created anew. Maybe the world had been created and destroyed so often that it was considered appropriate to write it down\, and it wasn’t worth their while saying: “For the hundredth time\, there was darkness …” – Elísabet Kristín Jökulsdóttir \n\n\nCURATORS: Þráinn Hjálmarsson & Þóranna Björnsdóttir \nProgram.
