Sigurður Guðjónsson
Artist talk
November 2nd 2024 at 14:00
Jóhannes Dagsson talkst to artist Sigurður Guðjónsson on Saturday 2nd of November.
Sigurður Guðjónsson is best known for his time-based media works where image, sound and space form an un- broken whole. He focuses particularly on the function of a variety of technical 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. Sigurður Guðjónsson represented Iceland at 59th International Venice Biennale 2022 with his installation Perpetual motion, curated by Mónica Bello. Guðjónsson was awarded the Icelandic Art Prize for Visual Artist of the Year in 2018 for his exhibition Inlight organized by ASÍ Art Museum. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, in such institutions as the National Gallery of Iceland,Reykjavik Art Museum, Scandinavia House in New York, Frankfurter Kunstverein in Germany, Arario Gallery in Beijing, Liverpool Biennial in the UK, Tromsø Center For Contemporary Art in Norway, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and BergenKunsthall in Norway. He often collaborates with musical composers, resulting in intricate work, allowing the visual compositions to enchantingly merge with the musical ones in a single rhythmic and tonal whole.

Artist talk

Even though artist Þórdís Jóhannesdóttir has long used photography as her medium in her art practice she can not be considered a traditional photographer. The photograph is the main material in her works, material she then bends, folds or stretches both literally and metaphorically. The photographs she snapps from everyday life; from other peoples artworks, architecture or nature. The photographs are then used as a basis for further structure of three dimensional art works. The outcome is an artwork that brings forward multiple surfaces that each one reflects light differently and/or making the artwork stretch into the exhibition space and dwell on the borders of two and three dimensiontal works.
Þórdís Jóhannesdóttir studied Fine Arts at Iceland Academy of the Arts; she got her B.a. degree in 2007 and in 2015 she got her M.a. from the same Academy. Alongside her individual art practice she has worked and exhibited in a two people collaborative Hugsteypan. Þórdís has exhibited widely in Iceland in Galleries and Museums.
