Visible Spectrum: Artist talks

MA students in fine art at IUA warmly invite guests to two artist talks about their degree exhibition Visible Spectrum that opened on Saturday, the 10th of May at the Living Art Museum. Dates are as follows:

Sunday 18th of May at 16:00 – 17:40

Artists: Wanxin Qu, Jiayan Chen, Heimir Snær Sveinsson, Emil Gunnarsson and Vala Sigþrúðar Jónsdóttir.

Supervisor: Daníel Björnsson

The exhibition brings together nine exciting artists with diverse backgrounds and creative practices who come together in an interesting Synergy. Each artist brings a unique perspective, shaped by diverse cultural roots, media, and ideological approaches. Despite these differences, the exhibition is united by a shared commitment to exploring identity, memory, and transformation through this medium commonly referred to as art.

The collective impact among the artists is evident in the way their works speak to each other, forming ecosystems of ideas rather than isolated statements. The exhibition encourages viewers to move quickly from one voice to another, discovering resonance and tension. Together, these nine artists demonstrate how collective creation can thrive, not despite, but because of, particular uniqueness – and remind us that art, at its core, is a shared language shaped by many dialects.
