Saturday March 29th at 2 p.m., we invite you to an artist talk with Anna Hrund Másdóttir and Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson, both of whom take part in the exhibition Linger. Together, they will discuss their artistic practices, the exhibited works, and the broader themes of the exhibition. Linger is curated by Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson and Mika Hannula.
Linger reflects on art as a process and its inner logic to connect, not only to us, the viewer, but also to its surroundings. The exhibition thus poses questions about what happens when we are confronted with works that demand us to engage and be affected. Works that in their innocence and intimate situation are risk-taking.
Anna Hrund Másdóttir works with found objects and materials, which, when removed from their original context, take on a new ephemeral lightness of being. Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson transforms personal and symbolic objects into layered works, using a process of reproduction to explore presence and absence. Though distinct in approach, both artists engage with materials that carry traces of the past, inviting us to reflect on memory, transformation and the shifting nature of meaning.
The exhibition is accompanied by the publication Linger, featuring essays by Mika Hannula. Edited by Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson and designed by Sigrún Sigvaldadóttir, the book is published by Hunang with support from The Icelandic Visual Art Copyright Association and Hafnarborg.
