Hrafna Jóna tends to gravitate towards dark themes in her photography, which might not be that surprising, considering where she is from. She has a realistic outlook on life and uses her strengths and weaknesses to fuel her art. 

She likes going beyond the two-dimensional properties of photography by using other senses such as hearing, touch, or time. Hrafna Jóna wants to make the spectator feel like a part of the work and get involved with it.

Regn Sólmundur Evu 

they / them 

Regn Sólmundur Evu is a non-binary artist, who works in many mediums, but with a special love for time-based media, for example, performance and video art. They choose the media best suited to any given piece and have taken up painting, sculpting, installations, text and sound art, print, and watercolour and mix the media up for the most effective results in each work. They are very enthusiastic about all sorts of equal rights affairs. They also have a special interest in internet culture and social media, which inspires their work. Regn works in a very personal manner and examines themselves in their practice, how they fit into shared experiences of groups they belong to, and how they do not. It was by accident that Regn started using themselves and their own experiences as a subject in their practice, but they soon realized that it was the best way to convey emotions and meaning. In this way, Regn intertwines the personal and the political.

Amissa Verstraete (they/them) is a Belgian Dancer and artist based in Berlin.

Rb Erin Moran (they/them) is an American Icelandic artist based between Reykjavík, Berlin, and Los Angeles. We met on an app, we met on a dance floor, we met in a park, we met in a past life, we met to make this video. It is our bio. It was a download, an insight, a preexisting life. It was interdimensional, an ode to transformation, expanded intimacy, and an intersection of experiences; a meeting on the non-binary creature highway. We downloaded this video from the cupcake in the sky. Our desire was to present play and pleasure through a creative process of play and pleasure. We had fun every step of the way. We invite you to play in our play.

BERGHALL 

they / them

Anna Hallin (she/her) and Olga Bergmann (she/her) have operated as the artistic duo Berghall since 2005. They work in various mediums and use installation, sculpture, photography, film, and drawings in their works. One thing characterizing Berghall’s works is an active dialogue with the artworks’ surroundings each time, whether it be a conventional venue, e.g. an art museum, gallery, cityscape, or out in nature. Olga and Anna have had numerous exhibitions both in Iceland and abroad and participated in exhibition projects both in collaboration and as individuals at The National Gallery of Iceland, Kling & Bang gallery, The Icelandic Folk and Outsider Art Museum, The Einar Jónsson Museum, and The Nordic MOMENTUM Biennial in Moss, Norway. They have also created works for public spaces and government buildings in the form of installations indoors and out, e.g. the public work of art outside the new security prison in Hólmsheiði. Their inspiration can be traced to the interaction between humans and nature, biology, science fiction, historical and local elements, and societal structures along with research into human and animal behavior and movement patterns. Spaces, places, and context are important components in their works. They approach those spaces with the goal of their works activating the public spaces they are linked to. They want to spark people’s interest in their surroundings, encourage imagination, and spark association, opening up new ways of looking at the world. In 2021 they founded Gallery Underpass on Hverfisgata, which is an exhibition area for temporary public art.
