The artists involved in the talk will be photographers <strong>P\u00e9tur Thomsen<\/strong> and <strong>Stuart Richardson<\/strong>. The event will be in Icelandic and English.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition features the work of seven artists. Many of them were brought up on islands and all of them come from countries where the sea is one of the wellsprings of society; at once, a way out into the wider world, and a barrier to what lies beyond. They have all stood by the sea, suspended in their powerlessness and strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>P\u00e9tur Thomsen <\/strong>(1973) was born in Reykjav\u00edk and now lives and works in Gr\u00edmsnes, South Iceland. He studied French, art history and archaeology at The Universit\u00e9 Paul Val\u00e9ry in Montpellier and art photography at \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure des m\u00e9tiers artistiques, also in Montpellier. In 2004, he completed his MFA degree from the \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieur de la photographie (ENSP) in Arles. Thomsen wields the camera as a tool for research, inspection and creation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuart Richardson <\/strong>(1978) was born in in Auckland, New Zealand, and raised in New England. Since 2007, he has lived in Iceland, where he is now a proud citizen. He earned his MFA in photography from the Hartford Art School in 2018. Richardson\u2019s photography is characterized by the attention paid to subtle details and forms in the natural environment, and his work often explores themes of environmentalism, the sublime and transience \u2013 whether in relation to experiences, natural phenomena, or to how images render on film or video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sigr\u00fan Alba Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir<\/strong> is an independent curator and scholar, working in Iceland and Denmark. In recent years, she has curated exhibitions at the National Gallery of Iceland, the L\u00c1 Art Museum, the Reykjav\u00edk Museum of Photography and Fotografisk Center, Copenhagen. Sigr\u00fan Alba is the author of various books and academic papers on photography, contemporary art and history, like <em>Snj\u00f3flygsur \u00e1 n\u00e6turhimni<\/em> (M\u00e1l og menning, 2022), concerning the interplay between photography, memory and reality, being released this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free entry \u2013 everyone welcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday October 16th at 2 p.m., we invite you to a guided tour of our newly opened autumn exhibition, high tide \u2013 low tide, led by curator Sigr\u00fan Alba Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, along with a few of the artists participating in the exhibition.
