SUMMARY:Sigurður Guðjónsson: Perpetual Motion
DESCRIPTION:Perpetual Motion extends from Sigurður Guðjónsson’s practice of examining the fluxes of energy found in material things. In experimenting with lenses\, light\, and motion\, he amplifies and observes specific forms and objects\, and reveals the energies they hold. Highly magnified images of metal dust are projected onto a giant split screen that results in a poetic\, multi-sensory experience and transforms the space sculpturally. Shifts and disruptions on a micro-scale\, in a compelling and profound order\, are made visible in the work.\nGuðjónsson emphasizes aspects of this tangible event and the continuities that occur within it in one unbroken stream. What occurs during this stream seems to be suspended in time\, and becomes reliant on the dynamics on screen and the accompanying granulated sound composition. The visual nuances of the imagery reflect and converse with the detail in the soundscape. The screen becomes a window into another space where we might discover a multi-layered micro-world that\, though eerily familiar\, has never before been seen.\nIn Perpetual Motion Guðjónsson observes and captures the energies and frequencies of material substance in an ongoing and personal fascination with the hidden and untouched places that surround us. In creating ‘spaces of discovery\, and in the processes in which he creates these spaces\, Guðjónsson’s eye for the nuances of nature and an interest in transforming them into poetical immersive experiences is exposed.\n-Text by Mónica Bello\, curator of the Icelandic Pavilion\n_______\nPerpetual Motion premiered earlier this year at the 59th edition of the Venice Biennale\, where Guðjónsson represented Iceland. This exhibition at BERG Contemporary marks the first showing of the work outside of Venice. Furthermore\, this occasion marks the grand opening of a new exhibition hall\, an extension of the gallery that has been in construction over the past few years.\nSigurður Guðjónsson is best known for his striking time-based media works that often focus on man-made machinery and technical relics\, investigating their enigmatic\, hidden elements just beyond our field of vision. The artist experiments with camera lenses\, perspective\, light\, and motion\, amplifying and observing these forms and the transformations that take place as they interact with their environment.\nThe interplay of sound and vision features throughout Guðjónsson’s oeuvre. The artist uses intricate soundscapes as the foundation of his works\, drawing out the acoustic properties of his visual investigations to create a stronger link to the subject matter. Perpetual Motion includes a visceral soundtrack developed by Guðjónsson and Icelandic musician Valgeir Sigurðsson\, which responds to the granulated texture of the matter in the moving images using stacked electronic sounds that have been manipulated via granular synthesis.\nThis project has been realized in collaboration with the Icelandic Art Center and Mónica Bello\, the curator of the Icelandic Pavilion.\nAn exhibition catalog has come out in conjunction with the exhibition\, published by DISTANZ\, designed by Studio Studio\, produced and supported by The Icelandic Art Center\, The Reykjavík Art Museum\, and BERG Contemporary. Furthermore\, a new exhibition by the artist\, curated by Mónica Bello\, opens at the Reykjavík Art Museum on 20 October 2022.

SUMMARY:Sigurður Guðjónsson: Transits
DESCRIPTION:Sigurður Guðjónsson presents Transits\, an exhibition that unveils the expressive and evocative dimension of the artist’s work. Transits explores the movements\, fluxes and discrete drifts occurring in the material world. The selection making up the exhibition comprises both recent work and one new production. As a unified composition\, all the works are rooted in the artist’s exploration of micro-landscapes and video imaging where the visible\, the audible and the spatial form an unbroken whole. Guðjónsson is devoted to capturing the rhythms and signals contained in a surface or object\, particularly when related to industrial devices or materials. The almost imperceptible transitions within the works are careful formed to reveal the rhythms\, and the pulses. Transits invites us to think about the production of images\, the complex insights into material\, and the state of perpetual transformation of the world. \nSigurður Guðjónsson (b. 1975) was selected to represent Iceland at the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2022. In Venice\, he exhibited his work Perpetual Motion which is currently on display in BERG Contemporary in Reykjavík. The Icelandic Pavilion at the Biennial and the exhibition Transits in Reykjavík Art Museum – Hafnarhús were curated by Mónica Bello.

SUMMARY:Sigurður Guðjónsson
DESCRIPTION:Sigurður Guðjónsson‘s fascinating world of art leaves no one untouched. \nOne of the leading video artists in contemporary Icelandic art represents the country at the Venice Biennale 2022. The exhibition in Hafnarhús presents the artist’s new and older works\, which present Sigurður’s singular creative practice for audiences. The artist is known for his magnificent videoworks where image\, sound and space form an unbroken whole. He particularly focuses on the function of a variety of equipment\, where the viewer is lured into a world of soothing repetition\, rhythm and order\, and the boundaries of the human and the mechanical become blurred. \nThe professional council that nominated Sigurður as Iceland’s representative at the Venice Biennale states: “with Sigurður\, Iceland will present an artist who has worked on impressive installations in unusual exhibition areas and built a very strong series of exhibitions that have attracted deserved attention in the contemporary art world.” \nSigurður Guðjónsson was born in 1975 in Reykjavík. He studied at the Billedskolen in Copenhagen from 1998-1999\, Iceland Academy of the Arts between 2000 -2003 BA and the Akademie Der Bildenden Kunste in Vienna in 2004. He was selected as Visual Artist of the Year in 2018. \nCurator Mónica Bello

SUMMARY:Some New Works
DESCRIPTION:One of the roles of the National Gallery of Iceland is to collect art\, with the objective of reflecting as well as possible trends and movements in Icelandic and international art at any time\, as stated in the National Gallery of Iceland Act. The museum’s collections are extensive and diverse. The oldest works in the collection date from the 16th century\, while the most recent are less than one year old; the nucleus of the collection consists of Icelandic art from around 1900 to the present day. Today the collection numbers over 15\,000 works\, and more are added each year. \nThe exhibition Some New Works displays a selection of works which have been purchased by the gallery’s Acquisitions Board or presented to the gallery in recent years. The Exhibition have been curated to highlight systems and repetitions in the work of eleven artists\, which have been made in a range of different media. \nArtists: Anna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir\,  Bjarni H. Þórarinsson\, Fritz Hendrik Berndsen\, Guðjón Ketilsson\, Gunnhildur Hauksdóttir\, Hildur Bjarnadóttir\, Sigurður Guðjónsson\, Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson\, Sölvi Sólon Íslandus Helgason\, Valgerður Guðlaugsdóttir\, Örn Alexander Ámundason. \nCurator: Vigdís Rún Jónsdóttir

SUMMARY:Sigurður Guðjónsson: Unseen Fields
DESCRIPTION:One may wonder how to register the physical world and the laws that govern it through contemplation and attentiveness. Moreover\, one may seek the experience of the otherness existing in our world that can turn into a compelling\, persuasive and profound event. These reflections can be seen as attempts to explore our own nature in relation to other autonomous non-human entities\, and they can become powerful drives for artistic expression. \nSigurður Guðjónsson appears to be asking these kinds of questions when he undertakes experiments in which he sculpts visions of hidden landscapes of matter. Through bringing into focus unseen topographies found in certain materials\, he unveils them while retaining their uncanny and alien character. The guiding themes for his latest works refer to this line of inquiry: what is hidden within the medium that can be revealed and expressed through new visual codes. Macroscopic observations of imperceptible systems captured from within fluorescent tubes\, optics\, film\, and cameras or\, more recently\, microscopes\, are brought from the artist’s studio to the gallery\, unfolding across walls and surfaces. These visual designs\, partly imagined and partly found\, form tantalizing visions of elemental substances that are rooted in the physical world of which we are a part. Therefore the gallery becomes a space in which to consider phenomena that pass unnoticed in our daily life but present deeply poetic situations of sound and matter. The artist’s obsession is the unveiling of phenomenological events that take place inside machines and across scales\, combined into gases and chemicals\, or in the frequencies\, wavelengths\, and energy fields embodied within these objects. \nIn Fluorescent the artist approaches the notions of light and material dynamics through focusing in extreme close-up on the processes that occur inside a fluorescent tube. The interior of the tube is portrayed\, rotating and pulsing rhythmically on two opposed circular images\, as a new aesthetic environment; one governed and generated by the excitations and interplay between electricity\, the noble gas argon\, and the fine coating of phosphorous on the inside of the glass tube. High voltages ionize the gas and bring the radiation into the visible spectrum and into the realm where the artist can bring them to the attention of the viewer. The perspective of the images prohibits our immediate connection with their source\, instead suggesting dust clouds floating in space or atmospheric anomalies. The installation is accompanied by a mesmerizing sound composition that is formed by directly tapping into the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the subject. By applying granular synthesis techniques to this source material\, the artist creates another layer of interpretation of the discrete processes taking place within and radiated from the fluorescent tube. The work breaks the conceptions of matter as a stable system\, instead of creating compositions that haunt us with the forms emerging from dynamic motions and randomized patterns. \nLarge machines and complex instrumentation\, vast infrastructures\, and the various detection and processing technologies of today allow transference of the human gaze to the remote domains of nature. Enigma takes us into such topography of uncertain contours as an in-depth survey of a fragment of carbon\, as seen by an electron microscope. In the gallery\, the viewer thus becomes the observer of an environment that could be seen familiar\, yet offers us an uncanny view\, closer to the landscapes of Mars\, or the images from the depths of ocean chasms. This perspective could not be captured outside the vacuum chamber of the electronic microscope\, a space devoid of air or gases\, or time references. Thus\, we could conclude that in the space created by this work time is created and passes as a non-linear\, elusive narrative. Enigma’s time is determined by a visual representation made up of vibrations and rhythms of the smallest imaginable scale\, close to the sphere of the esoteric. The Greek esoterikos describes what is “intimate\, reserved for the adepts” and describes precisely the representation of the hidden that is revealed through the film. Again\, the artist treats the technical instrument as that which allows access to an aspect of nature that remains normally hidden.buy vibramycin online https://www.mobleymd.com/wp-content/languages/new/vibramycin.html no prescription\n Despite the precision that anchors the experiment it seems that the artist himself would want to abandon control of the composition and act only as an observer. \nIn the exhibition\, Sigurður Guðjónsson invites us to access a framework of sound and visual experiences that are built through observation of the most intimate levels of the subject. Time is suspended; we observe the pulsations of the matter that emerges. The processes of matter interfere and intersect with emotional and sensorial experience. As John Cage reminded us\, “following the direction of unintended sounds is a renunciation of the human\, it is a psychological journey that takes us into the world of nature where gradually or suddenly we see that humanity and nature are together in the world\, not separate.” In these terms\, all sounds\, images\, in their natural essence\, can be explored through a true process of synthesis\, combining elements and components to form new\, connected\, and reimagined wholes. \nMónica Bello\, curator

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.
