Berg Contemporary (2019)

BERG Contemporary, Reykjavik, January 19 - February 23, 2019

“The fabric of the works is of two types. On the wall and floor are light structures that draw the attention outwards into the immaterial space – structures of living timber that reflects the light onwards and outwards onto the walls, across the floor, serendipitously onto itself, as if they are in motion, aquiver. In converse, on one wall and on a heavy monolithic block are obtrusive heavy forms that draw the attention by their very mass into the dead mineral. The light structures seek to the sky or out of the space with an undefined pull that addresses boundlessness, unfocused curiosity, the enigma of the stars in the firmament. The heavy forms direct inwards and the casting of light creates deep shadows on their surfaces, shadows that intimate that previously there was more material here, now removed so that precisely this form remains, this appearance.“ Medium of Matter, Guja Dögg Hauksdóttir, 2019
