Mótun stelpunnar by artist Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir explores themes of identity, femininity, and the complexities of the human experience through an interdisciplinary lens. The exhibition incorporates performance, repetition, and domestic objects to challenge traditional spatial boundaries within the gallery.
Mótun stelpunnar, a title borrowed from Meredith Monk's work 'Education of the Girlchild', presents an immersive environment by artist, musician, and composer Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir. The exhibition is deeply personal and theatrical, utilizing the gallery space as a scenographic element to rupture the mundane and demand the viewer's attention. Through durational performance and the recontextualization of everyday objects, Jónsdóttir reflects on the weight of societal expectations and the process of self-actualization. Jónsdóttir’s practice frequently explores the tension between the private and public self, using repetitive actions and interdisciplinary mediums to create a space that feels both intimate and confrontational. By transforming the exhibition site into a performative landscape, she invites audiences to reconsider the familiar through a lens of resistance and transformation, highlighting her background in both fine arts and operatic performance.
The exhibition is hosted at the Hornið space at Listval. No specific booking requirements are noted; visitors are advised to check the official gallery website for general admission details and gallery hours during the exhibition period.
