HEIMAR HEIMA

HEIMAR HEIMA

Verkin hér eru ýmist send inn frá almenningi eða unnin yfir eina helgi á yfirtöku Isle of Games á Iðnó fyrir Listahátíð 2020.

Kveikjan að verkunum voru orðin HEIMAR og HEIMA, en þetta eru þemu listahátíðar 2020 annarsvegar og 2018 hins vegar. Saman mynda þau ákveðna togstreitu og samhljóm, lýsandi þversögn á tímum heimsfaraldurs, þar sem við sjáum hversu samtengt alþjóðasamfélagið er en erum jafnframt aflokuð og einangruð. Í ólíkum miðlum sem aðeins stafrænt rými getur boðið upp á, þessi gagnvirku og kyrrstæðu verk tengjast öll kjarna hugmynd listhópsins, að skoða leiki sem list og list sem leik.

WORLDS AT HOME

The works here are either submitted from the public or made over one weekend during the Isle of Games takeover of Iðnó for the Reykjavík Art Festival 2020.

The prompt for the pieces was the words WORLDS and HOME, these are the themes of the Reykjavík Art festival 2020 on the one hand and 2018 on the other. Together, they form a certain tension and harmony, a descriptive paradox in times of pandemic, where we see how interconnected the international community is, but we are also closed off and isolated. Using diverse media made possible by the digital space, these interactive and static pieces connect back to the spirit of Isle of Games, looking at games as art and art as a game.
