This exhibition dwells in thresholds\u2014the 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition, Sk\u00falpt\u00far\/sk\u00falpt\u00far\/performans<\/em> situates artistic practice within the in-between spaces – places where emotion, form, and meaning shift. ,\u201d 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 Krist\u00edn Helga R\u00edkhar\u00f0sd\u00f3ttir, Styrmir \u00d6rn Gu\u00f0mundsson, Regn S\u00f3lmundur Evu, Curro Rodriguez, Jasa Baka, Post Performance Blues Band (\u00c1lfr\u00fan \u00d6rn\u00f3lfssd\u00f3ttir, Saga Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, Hrefna Lind L\u00e1rusd\u00f3ttir), Mj\u00f3lk (Hl\u00edn Gylfad\u00f3ttir, Karlotta Bl\u00f6ndal, Unnar \u00d6rn Au\u00f0arson) and Hekla D\u00f6gg J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir. Curated by Jo Pawlowskx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition series Sculpture \/ Sculpture<\/em> 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 Ger\u00f0ur Helgad\u00f3ttir (1928-1975), who Ger\u00f0arsafn 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 Kjarvalssta\u00f0ir, the same year Ger\u00f0arsafn opened it\u2018s doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo credit: Krist\u00edn Helga R\u00edkhar\u00f0sd\u00f3ttir, Bogi<\/em>, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This exhibition dwells in thresholds\u2014the trembling spaces between one state and another.
