Hjördís Gréta Guðmundsdóttir: vad jag hade föreställt mig

Outvert Art Space Aðalstræti 22, Ísafjörður, Iceland

Before the base warps and bends, the grid has counted the steps of markings, which traveled through time, and stopped here in anticipation. - What I had imagined, was a series of still life paintings with the petrified motifs of …

Romain Causel: The Wandering of a Bricoleur

Outvert Art Space Aðalstræti 22, Ísafjörður, Iceland

“Now, the characteristic of mythical thought is to express itself with the help of a repertoire whose composition is heterogeneous and which, although extensive, is still limited; nevertheless, it must use it, whatever the task it assigns itself because it has nothing else at hand.” Claude Lévi-Strauss, The Savage Mind (1962) “The Wandering of a Bricoleur” …

Á sýningunni Glufu gefst færi til að skyggnast inn í einhvers konar sviðsetningu af óræðum stað. Í rýminu eru vísbendingar um staðinn og hlutirnir þar minna á hversdagslega hluti sem við sjáum í okkar daglega umhverfi; glufa inn í annan heim sem er kunnuglegur en nýr á sama tíma. Agnes Freyja Björnsdóttir er með BA-gráðu …

SEQUENCES X – Gunnar Jónsson: Í viðjum

Outvert Art Space Aðalstræti 22, Ísafjörður, Iceland

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.
