The exhibition focuses on art as a process and its inner logic to connect, not only to us, the viewer, but also to its surroundings. The participating artists are Anna Hrund M\u00e1sd\u00f3ttir, Birgir Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rn Birgisson, Danny Rolph, Ingibj\u00f6rg Sigurj\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, Joel Tomlin, Kristinn M\u00e1r P\u00e1lmason, Peter Lamb and Vanessa Jackson. Linger is curated by Birgir Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rn Birgisson and Mika Hannula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><em>Linger<\/em> is when we tend to stay longer because of a reluctance to leave. That reluctance is often driven by a wistful longing, even though we don&#8217;t necessarily know why and what it is that we long for. What we know is that we must linger. The exhibition poses several questions about what happens when we are confronted with works that demand us to engage and be affected. Works that in their innocence and intimate situation are risk-taking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The participating artists use different means and techniques to approach these questions. Anna Hrund and Ingibj\u00f6rg work with found objects and material, that when taken out of its original context find a new ephemeral lightness of being. Rolph and Jackson\u2019s works adapt to the space and situation, allowing the geometric abstract elements to take charge. Birgir Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rn and Lamb use images from photographs, using the multi-layered process of reproduction to attain the unattainable. Tomlin and Kristinn M\u00e1r&#8217;s symbols and shapes, when put together, become a language in its own right. All eight artists share the belief that art is a finding place \u2013 not a hiding place \u2013 and their works urge us to linger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The exhibition is accompanied by the publication <em>Linger<\/em>, featuring essays by Mika Hannula. Edited by Birgir Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rn Birgisson and designed by Sigr\u00fan Sigvaldad\u00f3ttir, the book is published by Hunang with support from The Icelandic Visual Art Copyright Association and Hafnarborg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><strong>Free entry \u2013 see you at Hafnarborg.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday February 21st at 6 p.m., we invite you to the opening of Linger, an exhibition featuring works by eight artists from England and Iceland.
