Skúlptúr/skúlptúr/performans

Gerðarsafn Art Museum

This exhibition dwells in thresholds—the trembling spaces between one state and another. Our lives are composed of countless shifts and transitions-quiet or sudden, subtle or overwhelming. The moment before meeting a loved one’s eyes. The space between bodies on a dance floor. The stillness before the sun breaks the night. The quiet after leaving a crowded room. The flicker of a screen in the dark. And that trembling in your throat just before you are about to say it.

The exhibition, Skúlptúr/skúlptúr/performans situates artistic practice within the in-between spaces – places where emotion, form, and meaning shift. ,” where a trembling thought resists fixity and singularity, artists move between mediums, between becoming and arriving, between material and gesture. Sculpture leans into performance; performance stretches into image or sound; sound shifts into sculpture. Nothing is fixed. The exhibiting artists are Kristín Helga Ríkharðsdóttir, Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson, Regn Sólmundur Evu, Curro Rodriguez, Jasa Baka, Post Performance Blues Band (Álfrún Örnólfssdóttir, Saga Sigurðardóttir, Hrefna Lind Lárusdóttir), Mjólk (Hlín Gylfadóttir, Karlotta Blöndal, Unnar Örn Auðarson) and Hekla Dögg Jónsdóttir. Curated by Jo Pawlowskx.

The exhibition series Sculpture / Sculpture explores contemporary sculpture and the development within three-dimensional art, not only as an important part of art history, but also as a living visual language within contemporary art. The series honors the sculptor Gerður Helgadóttir (1928-1975), who Gerðarsafn museum is named after, and her contribution to Icelandic art history. The exhibition title refers to the exhibition Sculpture/sculpture/sculpture, held in 1994 at Kjarvalsstaðir, the same year Gerðarsafn opened it‘s doors.
