the Bookshop-Projectspace
Opening Wednesday August 26 at 17.00
We, a group of 15 artists, fashion designers, writers and musicians were lucky to call Nielsenshs in Seyðisfjörður our temporal home over this summer of rain.
Communal living and utopian ideas as an initial subject of interest was quickly translated into reality when we lived, cooked, cleaned, read and made works together in ever changing new formations and within spacial limitations.
In weekly Basement Exhibitions that consistently explored one communal medium (Drawings, Photographs, Sculptures, Videos, Readings, Garden), we presented works to the local community. Our basement became a meeting point, a dance floor, a workshop and a place for contemplation, editing and exchange.
As ever bright days and nights fade into an autumnal spectrum of light and darkness we are slowly facing an end to this way of life that can be called utopian indeed in all its imperfections and variations.
One more time, we come together in the Bookshop as a group. The works that can be seen were made during this two month self initiated residency.
Some people have already left for more urban surroundings, but we are happy to be still here.
Barbara, Michi, Felix, Yu, Hao, Jirka, Ben, Adriana, Selina, Marianne, Gregory, Patrick, Bjorn, Sara and Ruth
