Dreymandur og draumgjafar / Weaving Cosmologies: Cecilia Fiona ~ Gerður Helgadóttir ~ Hayden Dunham ~ Kristín Morthens ~ Morehshin Allahyari · Þula

Weaving Cosmologies – dreymendur og draumgjafar is a single exhibition unfolding across two locations; Skaftfell and Þula. Curated by Þórhildur Tinna Sigurðardóttir, the exhibition brings together works by Gerður Helgadóttir, Kristín Morthens, Hayden Dunham, Cecilia Fiona and Morehshin Allahyari.

 

Their individual practices differ, but a shared thread runs through their work. They intersect through religious worldbuilding, embodied ways of making, speculative fiction and historical research. Their practices are deeply devotional: they are committed to making art in order to better fathom their human and beyond-human existence. This tendency reaches beyond their material explorations in sculpture, video, sound, textile, installation, painting and ritual, extending into the processes through which new works take form.

The artists create works that become markers in their search for meaning and purpose. They are dreamers, dreamgivers and weavers.
