Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson – Earth, Water, Air, Fire
16 April – 16 May, 2021
Grantee of the Icelandic Art Center, Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson presents a two part exhibition. Starting with the dark intimate part, Styrmir’s voice is heard as he reads the titles of his series “Graphic Novel Virus”. Styrmir’s drawings from the journal-like series document the German and Icelandic news as COVID-19 spreads in March 2020. Originally they were posted daily on social media to help us make sense of the new COVID world. In the second part of the exhibition new large scale drawings represent the four elements. In the center of the room and echoing from the speakers are recordings from his “Organ Orchestra”. Inspired by flutes, the orchestra consists of organs such as the lungs, stomach, liver, brain, made out of clay.

Can we say we in a way that isn’t misogynistic or racist—or speciesist? How do we speak our agency in the biosphere?”

Kunsthalle for Music is conceived and directed by Ari Benjamin Meyers. “Music is not necessarily what you think it is. Can we imagine a space for music that exists outside of any media and beyond the stage? A space for un-recordable music, music of undefined duration, existing even when no audience is present? A dissolution of performer and audience, of rehearsal and performance? How can we imagine contemporary music, composition, and music performance as contemporary art today?” –from Ari Benjamin Meyers’
manifesto for the Kunsthalle for Music.

Dafna Maimon Family Business
3 February – 4 March, 2018
Family Business is the third in a series of exhibitions and performances inspired by Finland’s first kebab and falafel restaurant Orient Express opened in 1985. The restaurant was located in the Forum shopping mall in Helsinki city centre. Now Orient Express finally returns to Finland, 33 years after its initial opening, as the exhibition Family Business.
The autobiographical project was set in motion initially as a film entitled Orient Express in 2014. Maimon reworked a high-budget video ad from 1986 produced by her father. In 2017 Orient Express Yourself as the performance took place at Lilith Performance Studio in a reconstructed restaurant. Falafels were bought in exchange for answers relating to memories of family and gender roles as well as the effects of destructive patriarchal structures. In Berlin at Galerie Wedding the installation and film Orient Express existed as ghostly memory of the long-gone restaurant. Falafels were sold to the audience on the opening and the word-payment was recorded into an old tape recorder. For the finissage Maimon scripted After Hours an absurd movement score based on restaurant chores a worker performs when closing up for the night.
The exhibition is co-produced by Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, Lilith Performance Studio, Galerie Wedding, SIC Space and is generously supported by Latvia’s centennial programme. The next stop for the restaurant to branch out is Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in April 2018.
At the opening event a the new mutation of the restaurant will serve falafel cooked and sold by the artist’s actual family members – her siblings.

Emilija Škarnulytė at Künstlerhaus Bethanien
5 – 29 October, 2017
Mirror Matter (2017) visits our present from the future – it is set 10,000 years from now. Škarnulytė invites the viewer on a ‘truth seeking’ journey where humans are extinct and nature has taken over. The film to date is an anthology divided into the beginning of an index of stories. She creates a post human mythology sharing her view of how scientific machines once probed and measured our universe. She allows for us to become the all-seeing and all-knowing alien eye. The secrets of anti-matter and the void become our fascination.

Dafna Maimon Camp Solong – Nonstop Sunset
8 June – 30 July, 2017
Camp counselors Dafna Maimon & Ethan Hayes-Chute together with curator and camp philosopher Jonatan Habib Engqvist help to make saying goodbye easier. Camp Solong invites you to welcome your goodbyes with play and delight. Get a bunk with your own personal shelf, dig a hole, and learn to say goodbye to your new-found friends. You will get insights into how to rid yourself of emotional baggage, and perhaps find the key to the joy of separation in the grab bag of your soul. Taking play seriously means letting yourself momentarily lose your foothold. Together we learn to bid each other farewell. This will be a lifelong memory.

Egill Sæbjörnsson at the 57th Venice Biennale
13 May – 26 November, 2017
Egill Sæbjörnsson represents Iceland at the 57th Venice Biennale. Egill’s project OUT OF CONTROLL IN VENICE has been led by Ügh and Bõögâr two Icelandic trolls. Upon arrival the visitors are greeted with a coffee before they enter their man-eating worlds and heads only to become part of their worlds as well. Egill tells how they met but we give them life and make them real. Through sound and animation we learn about their activities in Venice and how Klaus Biesenbach tastes. They comment with humor on the art world while becoming marketable merchandise themselves. The online shop offers the book, their album, a fashion line and even Troll turds. Egill questions our perception of the world with an inclusive, fun-loving and self-reflective humorous approach.

Alexandra Hopf, The Night
Thursday, 21 April, 2016 Opening 5–10pm Welcome to the first home exhibition
The Night by
Alexandra Hopf within the residency
ABA (Air Berlin Alexander Platz). The future exhibition prototype presents a fragment of a new body of work inspirited by Alberto Giacometti’s text
The Dream, the Sphinx, and the Death of T.. Hopf illustrates the story of late. Written in 1946 and published in the journal
Labyrinthe Giacometti reveals his obsessions and anxieties while visually building his topography of remembrance. Reading from left to right in the hallway Hopf abstracts the first page of his text where he writes of his spider dream, which continues as he wakes up. Hopf has modified the text through its repetition. The reader enters a dream loop to discover illusory cycles. 22 April – 21 June 2016

Artist Talk with Ari Benjamin Meyers
2 October, 2016, 2pm
Within the series Sound Systems “Elevator Music” features Ayumi Paul on the violin playing a composition recorded for and within the elevator of Trafo by Ari Benjamin Meyers. In a sense the medium is the space – the work remains trapped inside the elevator. It is nearly impossible to hear the piece in its entirety as passengers getting on and off interrupt. The liminal space and music marks a threshold opening up and questioning performative possibilities.
