Orð frá Íslandi
Verið velkomin á opnun sýningar Barbara Bernardi, “Orð frá Íslandi” laugardaginn 28. janúar kl. 14 – 17. Einnig opið á sunnudag 14 – 17. Léttar veitingar í boði og listamaðurinn verður á staðnum.
“Orð frá Íslandi” er mynd- og hljóðinnsetning unnin á meðan dvöl minni í Gestavinnustofu Gilfélagsins á Akureyri stóð.
Ég safnaði fyrstu hughrifunum úr síbreytilegu landslaginu og ég tengi þau við einveruna í þessu nýja listræna samtali við náttúruna á Akureyri.
Þetta ferli varð speglun þar sem líkamleg hreyfing og hreyfing tilfinninganna, líkamlegt og tilfinningaferðalag speglast í hvort öðru.
Myndir, orð og rödd eftir Barbara Bernardi.

Words from Iceland
You are invited to attend the opening of “Words from Iceland” by artist Barbara Bernardi. Open Saturday 14 – 17 and Sunday 14 – 17.
„Words from Iceland“ is a video and sound installation which shows a work in progress during my Gil Residency in Akureyri.
I collected the first strong impressions of a landscape that changes every day and I related them to the feelings of solitude in a new artistic dialogue with the nature in Akureyri.
This process was a mirror in which physical movement and emotional movement, physical journey and emotional journey reflect themselves into each other.
