For the last two weeks of February 8 art students took part in a yearly seminar held by the Icelandic Art Academy, the Dieter Roth Academy, the Technical museum and Skaftfell in Seyðisfjörður, East – Iceland. The exhibition Hand Traffic In The Box is the conclusion of the students work with the town’s workshops and craftsmen, inspired by the atmosphere of the fjord and it’s inhabitants.

Five artists from Scotland have spent a month making a research blog, collecting what they have watched, read and listened to. These sources examine ideas of fictional reality and global connectivity. The exhibition, Nothing New Under the Sun is a collection of new works created on their residency in which their research and making collide.
Over the course of the exhibition at Skaftfell, the artists will release several pirate radio broadcasts through their blog at thisisnothingnew.wordpress.com
The group are based in Edinburgh and are all co-directors of Rhubaba Studios.
