Erna E. Skúladóttir works both in her native c Erna E. Skúladóttir works both in her native country of Iceland and in Norway, where she studied and lived for six years, conceiving of and carrying out complex experimental projects with clay and sediments. Erna uses these familiar materials without manipulating them into utilitarian form: vase, bottle or basket; tile or brick. Instead, her relationship with them could be described as collaborative, using them as a way to describe and picture the calamitously shifting natural world. Somewhere between fifty and eighty percent of the world’s surface, she reminds us, has been altered or transformed by human intervention. Ground becomes a metaphor, explored in all the possible meanings of the word, including value. How many of us know where something like clay comes from, how it comes to exist; that, though plentiful, it is a finite material?
Erna E. Skúladóttir is interested in how our connections with landscape have been shaped by received images, in particular, landscape painting. For her installation
in this show, she created silicone molds at the foot of the Langjökull and Sólheimajökull glaciers, capturing the textures recently revealed by the retreating ice. She also collected some of the ancient sediment that has been left behind, created by the friction between glacier and rocks. She then painted these molds with successive layers of liquified clay and a binder, creating multiple casts from each one.

Icelandic sound artist Ingibjörg Friðriksdóttir Icelandic sound artist Ingibjörg Friðriksdóttir merges visual elements with music. It is important to her that each project develops organically, ranging from a multi-channel sound installation using earthquake data as a foundation for a composition played on a novel instrument made of a recycled piano, to sound sculptures swinging subtly from the ceiling or a fashion film featuring pink feminist costumes accompanied by a typewriter and horns.
In Pars pro toto, Ingibjörg draws attention to the North’s shrinking glaciers and the challenge of fully comprehending the consequences, not just for the Arctic region, but for everyone on Earth, of their loss. By focusing on a particular aspect of global warming Ingibjörg highlights the magnitude of both the problem and the needed solution. Shrinking glaciers are only one of many visible planetary changes caused by human behavior. It is impossible to comprehend all the unforeseen transformations and chain reactions caused by glacial melting in the complex and intertwined processes of nature: the magnitude of such changes
is too great for us to grasp, too overwhelming to dwell on. As the process is slow and not intrinsically painful, the changes that it brings become normalized in a local context.

Pétur Thomsen has added new prints to his work 'I Pétur Thomsen has added new prints to his work 'Ingólfsfjall' - The museum opens again tomorrow 18/11 at 12:00. 😊  In a haunting series of photographs documenting change, Icelandic artist Pétur Thomsen captures the flow of time by showing us the transformation of wild scenery into man-made environment. Rather than depicting a single moment of change, however, he carefully gathers evidence of what has taken place in a series of images, allowing viewers to figure out what has transpired. Thomsen’s subjects have ranged from a semi-deserted housing development on the outskirts of Reykjavik, placed deliberately close to a nature reserve, to the Kárahnjúkar Hydroelectric Project
—a series of five dams and three reservoirs in eastern Iceland that have utterly transformed one of Europe’s largest areas of previously untouched landscape.

In a way, Thomsen’s project could be described as chronicling/capturing Umhverfing. This Icelandic word describes the liminal place between nature
and environment. Although these two things are often equated by conservation movements, for Thomsen, the environment represents the spaces created by the human need to make nature over into livable space, irrevocably altering it in the process.4 Since 2003, he has chronicled the astonishing transformation brought about by the power project, in images of changes so large that at times they are difficult to fully comprehend. Thomsen sometimes works on a more intimate scale, in a process that seems almost like espionage: photographing the same site over days or months, at night, using a strobe light. The series in this exhibition represents a hybrid of his work capturing massive land transformation with images of the same site, from the same point of view, taken over time. Here, he shows some of the changes taking place in the Mount Ingólfsfjall quarry area.  #ingólfsfjall #suðurland #southiceland #art #photography #exhibition #norðrið #north #visiticeland #visithveragerdi
Arngunnur Ýr’s nearly thirty years of guiding s Arngunnur Ýr’s nearly thirty years of guiding summer tourists on hikes in her native Iceland has had a profound impact on her work as an artist. It has also led to the development of a deep interest in geolog, an affinity that makes poetic sense, since

a painting, like a physical landscape, is composed layer by layer, each one with its peculiar history and meaning. Visiting sites annually, she has seen first-hand the changes that have taken place, a fact reflected in the title of her current body of work ‘Witness,’ from which the paintings in this exhibition have been selected.

While guiding, Arngunnur takes many photographs. She notes that other Icelandic artists have successfully used this medium to document the environmental losses that are taking place—Ólafur Elíasson’s project ‘Glacier Melt’, for example. For Arngunnur, however, the camera’s image is used only to guide initial composition. After that point, she works from intuition and memory. Sólheimajökull, for instance, began with her photographs of Sólheimajökull , a small outlet glacier on the south coast that she has visited for decades, watching its retreat.

There is a deliberate theatricality in these images, a mood Arngunnur Ýr describes laughingly as “cynical fantasy in times of environmental disaster,“

due in no small part to her almost hallucinogenic use of color to depict mountains and sky. The glaciers in these pictures are presented as empty space: white voids, their flat, unmarked shapes in startling contrast with slashes and fields of vivid greens, pinks, oranges and blues. Arngunnur’s goal is to create a kind of friction or tension, but color also serves to distance her work from some older traditions of landscape in Iceland.

Nestori Syrjälä ́s conceptually-driven practi Nestori Syrjälä ́s conceptually-driven practice involves the dexterous manipulation of a variety of media as containers for his ideas, including sculpture, installation and video. Syrjälä presents compelling evidence of the ways in which the human race has transformed the environment, rendering it, as he put it, increasingly strange. In the works presented here, he reflects on how the accelerating environmental crises with which we are confronted daily can force artists to reconsider everything, even the forms their work might take.

Science fiction-inspired fitness equipment sculptures incorporate a seemingly- random accumulation of materials (one lists Euro coins, the Baltic Sea, USB flash drive, lichen), as if trying to create a time capsule of the detritus of modern life. In both the weight plates and the handles of Syrjälä ́s jump rope, glimpses of the listed materials can be seen on the surface, like the visible tips of immense icebergs or rocks, sometimes massive, that are transported by glaciers and then left behind as they retreat.

For Swedish artist Ulrika Sparre, facing the threa For Swedish artist Ulrika Sparre, facing the threat of climate change means giving a voice to the non-human actors in our world: boulders, deserts and mountains.
Her video Ear to the Ground (wandering rocks) is set in the barren yet austerely
beautiful landscape of California’s Death Valley. In a silence punctuated only by
the dry crunch of the artist’s footsteps or occasional jets passing by far overhead,
we see her close up, then from a distance, tiny and ant-like (sometimes, just before
the camera cuts to ants, moving around on the ground’s stony surface). As she wanders across the playa, a desert basin that is covered in some winters with a shallow lake, she holds contact mics to boulders she encounters, finding haunting
sounds inside the stone. The mystery of the ‘wandering rocks’, boulders that seem
to travel of their own volition across the dry land, was solved in 2013 by geologist
Frank Norris. After rainfall, the shallow water can freeze, in the extreme climate of the desert, and the sheets of ice push the rocks in front of them, much as glaciers have moved immense boulders great distances over time.
Often, without Sparre’s presence in a shot, it would be difficult to tell the scale
of what we are seeing. Her location, her clothes and the light all change, conferring
a poetic sense of time passing, as her shadow moves like a transitory ghost across
the landscape. At the end of the video, seen far in the distance, she lies in the middle of an ancient crater. The slow tolling of four distant sonic booms provide a potent reminder that there are few truly wild landscapes anymore.  #norðrið #north #art #exhibition #museum #suðurland #southiceland #visithveragerdi
