Við erum í skýjunum! 🌫 Dunce hlaut tilnefningu til Grímunnar í vikunni sem Sproti ársins. ✨

Það er ómetanlegt að fá svona fallega hvatningu. Takk fyrir okkur og til hamingju öll sem eiga í hlut!

"Tímaritið Dunce er tilnefnt til Sprotans fyrir eftirtektarverða nýsköpun á sviði skrásetningar á danslist, kóreógrafíu og gjörningalist. Dunce veitir listafólki á þessu sviði nýjan vettvang til að eiga samtal, miðla hugleiðingum sínum og halda utan um listform sem í einkenni sínu er hverfult. Dunce er einstaklega vandað í máli og myndum og miðlar íslenskri list utan landsteina ásamt því að tengja saman listamenn hvaðanæva að úr heiminum."

Tilnefningar til Grímunnar – íslensku sviðslistarverðlaunanna, voru kynntar í Tjarnarbíói í kvöld.

"At the moment I am curious about the lifespan of a dancer, and have been for some time [...] I am currently processing the milestone of being over forty."
▫️Vala looks into ageing and the underlying prejudices entangled in theatre tradition, from the uniformity of the corps de ballet to the physical repertoire of dance companies today.▪️

"Every detail matters. It is not exactly about the architecture as such but what exists between the walls. When I move around the room, there is friction which sparks the work. The physicality is embedded in the negative space, the mould."
◽Conveying Physicality: Haraldur Jónsson on inspiration, moulds and the appeal of negative spaces ◽

Haraldur Jónsson is an artist who works simultaneously in various media. In his work he explores phenomena that arise in the lapses between bodily sensation, perception, emotion, and language. His performances take on different guises, inviting the audience to participate and thus gradually becoming an integral element in the work.

🔸 Absolute Ambiguity: Visual Artist Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson on the Co-op Print & Friends 🔹

"Print & Friends have always operated on a skewed business model, inventing new standards of value, other than those currently in place. At the National Gallery of Iceland we sold P&F branded cleaning products in the museum store, such as chloride, window cleaner and mouthwash. Each item had a different price tag, the window cleaner was about a hundred euros. The visitors could buy the cleaning products and exchange them for art works in the exhibition hall, which allowed us to bypass the ICOM code of ethics for museums." - in Dunce III.

Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson is an Icelandic visual artist who employs drawing, photography and language through the medium of printmaking and print media. His works deal with the transcription of social and behavioural systems and patterns to provide an angle for an alternative reading. The act of reading is ever-present in Sigurður’s work, which connects to his ongoing involvement with artist’s books and publishing.
