House of Purkinje: Exhibition tour
On Good Thursday, April 27 at 20:00 Sunna Ástþórsdóttir, museum director, guides visitors through Amanda Riffo's solo exhibition, House of Purkinje. The exhibition raises important questions about our attention towards our surroundings, the physiology of the eye and fictional reality. The exhibition has been ongoing since the beginning of March, but it will take end this weekend. The guided tour is therefore a good opportunity to explore the different elements of the exhibition, before it is taken down. The language of the event takes into account those who attend, and will take place either in Icelandic or English. There is no entrance fee to theLiving Art Museum and we extend a warm welcome to all.
WithHouse of Purkinje, Riffo draws parallels between the physiology of the eye and our awareness of the surrounding environment. She does this by combining the exhibition space with a film studio. Amanda has worked in the film industry almost as long as she has worked as an artist. In both fields, she works with distorted objects, fictional images and constant speculation about how we perceive our surroundings.
