Goodgonebadwrong: Artist talk — Anna Reutinger & Sigurður Ámundason
Welcome to an artist talk with Anna Reutinger and Sigurður Ámundason, Wednesday, September 13 at 17. They will talk about their works included in the collaborative exhibition Goodgonebadwrong, their work process and the run-up to the exhibition. The discussion will be in both Icelandic and English, questions in either language are welcome. Admission is free.
ANNA REUTINGER tints social, material and historical moments into colorful tales with many voices. Working with second hand textiles, glass, scrap metal, natural dyes, agricultural byproducts, social encounters and distant histories, she enacts a hands-on approach to research—highlighting craft as seed for social, material and environmental sensitivity. From large-scale installations to performative workshops and film, she invites others into a cave of potentials, hand crafted to pull you belly outwards into the muck of collective imagining. She is a tutor in the Dirty Art Department at the Sandberg Instituut where she also received her M.A. in 2016 after a B.A. in Design Media Arts and Digital Humanities at UCLA in 2013.
SIGURÐUR ÁMUNDASON was born in 1986 and raised in Reykjavík, Iceland. He graduated with a BA degree in fine arts at the Iceland Academy of Arts in 2012. Since then he has held eleven solo exhibitions, participated in numerous group shows and performed countless performances. Ámundason uses drawing as his foundation medium but also creates installations, sculptures, video-art, bookwork, photography, theatre and performance art.
GOODGONEBADWRONG brings together new works by artists Anna Reutinger, Brákar Jónsdóttur, Hugo Llanes and Sigurðar Ámundason. Goodgonebadwrong emerges from a close collaboration of the artists, and takes shape as a kind of a gathering place — the beginning or end of a slightly chaotic conversation where different voices intertwine and ideas take shape in the process. The exhibition takes an (un)pleasant position inside the belly of the great beast and brings forward fictional memories, nature, culture, extinction, soothing self affirmation — and a toast for a world without us!
