May 17, 2022, 17:00-19:00, Herðubreið   Gestalistamenn Skaftfells, Joan Perlman (US) og Marc-Alexandre Reinhardt (CA), munu kynna nýleg verk á stuttri sýningu þann 17. maí, þar á meðal prentverk, myndbönd og verk í vinnslu. Skaftfell's residency artists Joan Perlman (US) and Marc-Alexandre Reinhardt (CA), will present current and recent work in a pop-up exhibition on May 17, including prints, videos, and work in progress.   Joan Perlman @perlman.joan is a visual artist based in Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her paintings and videos have been widely shown in solo and group exhibitions in the US and abroad, and in Iceland in solo shows at Hafnarborg and Skriðuklaustur. During her stay in Seyðisfjörður Joan is filming a video piece, and making monoprints and gouaches. This work comprises a new project inspired by the coastal waters, ocean and tides in Iceland, including the vibrant life, colors and light found in intertidal zones; and the tides' deep wave energy. The project continues her long standing exploration of the transformative energy of the powerful waters and volcanic terrain of the far north. Marc-Alexandre Reinhardt  @marcareinhardt is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working at the intersection between sound, performance and installation. He works and lives between Aylmer and Montreal, Canada. Marc's practice, grounded in specific sites or communities, develops conceptual strategies that investigate historical, political and cultural phenomena. His work has been exhibited and performed in Canada, the United States, Chile and Greece. During his residency at Skaftfell, Marc has been interested in deconstructing the romantic worldview of the sublime in relationship to the surrounding environment of Seyðisfjörður. Through photographic studies, field recordings, video work and ready-made sculptures, he has been exploring how we inhabit an unpredictable landscape that we depend on, but can’t control.

Andreas Senoner – Paper Series / Verk á pappír Pop-up sýning 29. apríl kl. 17:00-20:00 í Herðubreið, Seyðisfirði. Listamannaspjall kl. 17:30-18:00. Pop-up exhibition 29. April, 17-20:00 in Herðubreið, Seyðisfjörður. Artist talk from 17:30-18:00. Andreas Senoner (f. 1982 í Bolzano, Ítalíu) er myndlistamaður sem býr og starfar í Flórens á Ítalíu. Hann hefur dvalið í gestavinnustofu Skaftfells í apríl og nýtt megnið af tímanum til að teikna, sem aðferð til að iðka sjónræna hugsun og leita eftir nýju umfjöllunarefni og efnivið. Í skúlptúrískar rannsóknum sínum leggur Andreas áherslu á röð atriða sem aðalinntak, þ.m.t. umbreytingar, arfleið og lagskiptingu á táknrænan og efnislegan máta. Í verkum sínum velur hann og notar sérstæðan efnivið sem koma að mestu úr dýra- og plönturíkinu - þ.m.t. timbur, fjaðrir, skófir, vefnað, býflugnavax - en alltaf með sögu sköpunar og þróunar í huga um leið og hann finnur þessum þáttum ákveðið gildi. Andreas notar helst timbur sem er mikilvægur náttúrulegur efniviður, sem safnar minningum og leyfir okkur að lesa í spor tímans - fyrir, á meðan og eftir að listrænt ferlið hefur átt sér stað. --------------------- Andreas Senoner (b. 1982 Bolzano) is an Italian contemporary artist. He lives and works in Florence, Italy. He has been artist-in-residence at Skaftfell during April, spending a lot of his time drawing – a process of deep visual thinking and searching for new topics and materials. Andreas’ sculptural research is focused on a series of main themes, including metamorphosis, heritage, and stratification, on a symbolic and material level. For his artworks, he selects and uses unique materials, mostly from animal and plant sources – including wood, feathers, lichens, fabric, beeswax – always keeping in mind their history and process of creation and evolution, while giving value to those factors. The preferred medium is wood, an essential natural element, a collector of memories, a material that allows us to read traces of time – before, during, and after the artistic process. www.andreassenoner.com @andreassenoner @herdubreid_sfk #skaftfell #skaftfellartcenter #contemporaryart #austurland #visitseydisfjordur

Alter / Breyta Ný verk eftir Brák Jónsdóttur Hugo Llanes Joe Keys Nínu Óskarsdóttur Opnun laugardaginn 26. mars kl. 16:00-18:00, í sýningarsal Skaftfells. Sýningin stendur til 22. maí. Sýningarstjóri er Hanna Christel Sigurkarlsdóttir. Alter / Breyta er samsýning fjögurra upprennandi myndlistarmanna sem eiga það sameiginlegt að hafa tiltölulega nýlega lokið námi við myndlistardeild Listaháskóla Íslands. Hópurinn var valinn í samvinnu með Bjarka Bragasyni, deildarforseta Myndlistardeildar LHÍ, og boðið að dvelja í þriggja vikna vinnustofudvöl í Skaftfelli þar sem þau fengu næði til að þróa verkin sín fyrir sýninguna. Þau vinna öll með ólíkar áherslur en þó er hægt að greina fíngerðan þráð sem býr til óræða tengingu á milli verka þeirra. Leiðsögn og spjall um verkin með listamönnunum fer fram sunnudaginn 27. mars kl. 14:00 (á ensku). ----------- Alter / Breyta New work by Brák Jónsdóttir Hugo Llanes Joe Keys Nína Óskarsdóttir Opening on March 26, from 16:00-18:00 in the Skaftfell gallery. The exhibition continues until May 22. Curated by Hanna Christel Sigurkarlsdóttir. Alter / Breyta is a collective exhibition by four emerging artists who have all graduated fairly recently from the Iceland University of the Arts. The group was chosen collaboratively with Bjarki Bragason, Dean of the Department of Fine Art, and invited to stay in Skaftfell’s residency for three weeks while further developing their proposals. While their works display a wide range of approaches and interests, an unfathomable thread appears to connect them. A guided tour with the artists takes place on Sunday March 27 at 14:00 (in English). @iua_fineart #skaftfell #skaftfellartcenter #austurland #visitseydisfjordur

The opening takes place in partnership with @list_i_ljosi art festival. The exhibition is based on artistic research into the properties, history and use of Iceland spar, a crystalline mineral known for its contributions to optic science and its speculative role in navigation. The artworks are inspired by the crystal’s light attributes and its capacity of creating a double image, a ghost image. Johan F Karlsson lives and works in Malmö, Sweden. His practice includes photography, sculptural and video installations, interventions in space, and performances. Johan is artist in residence at Skaftfell in January and February, supported by a grant from the Nordic Baltic Mobility Programme (Nordic Culture Point). @johanfkarl @nordiskkulturkontakt #skaftfell #skaftfellresidencyprogram #skaftfellartcenter #austurland #listiljosi #nordicbalticmobility
