Opening: MA Fine Art Degree exhibition 2024
Tracing Roots - Thin Filaments and Porous Forms, the final exhibition of the MA graduate students in the fine arts department of The Icelandic University of the Arts will open on Saturday the 11th at 17pm in The Living Art Museum.
The artists graduating in 2024 are: Camilla Cerioni, Camilla Sæberg, Galadriel González Romero, Jette Dalsgaard, Julie Sjöfn Gasiglia, Martina Priehodová, Nele Karlotta Berger, Sunneva Ása Weisshappel
With great sensitivity for the affective relationship of everything hidden, the world of objects and nature, the artists share their ideas and sharp views on the contemporary state of impermanence, transformation and rhythm of life at all times.
The audience is invited to embark on a synesthetic sensory journey through the realm of growth and transformation, the cycle of the organic and the harnessing of energy in different frequencies. The exhibition takes us through Finnish emotional forests, along with roots into soil, into solid and then loose earth materials, through the vastness of the human body and its substitutes, we sway in slow circles and with horsehair out the window and back in again, layer upon layer in open, closed and porous vessels, and with sound waves that plunge into the abyss and draw with thick darkness across the walls.
The works in the exhibition explore the human need to identify with other and even unrelated beings and the various ways we use to understand the world and ourselves. One of those ways is through humour and in the exhibition, museum visitors are invited to participate and play. One can sense the artists´ joy of crafting their handmade objects, although the undertone is characterised by their awareness of the anthropocene, the fragility of ecosystems and the everflowing movement of nature.
The exhibition is curated by Birta Guðjónsdóttir
