Let's fulfill the need to peep and sneak in to see Telma Har's new exhibition at Myrkraverk Gallery.

The exhibition Don't look it's art opens in Myrkraverk Gallery at Skólvörðustíg 3 on Wednesday, April 23 at 16.

The audience stands outside the gallery and looks in through a peephole in a window.

The exhibition consists of photographs that are cut out and put together to give a three-dimensional effect. The artist mixes various materials such as hair and embroidery, which then merges with the clippings. The goal is to give the viewer a visual experience in a dreamlike way and at the same time fulfill our need to peek and explore the unknown or simply satisfy our curiosity.

The exhibition will open on April 23 at Myrkraverk gallery at Skólavörðustíg 3 and will last until May 6.

Everyone is welcome to peep in and look into the world of dreams.

On April 25, Telma will have a talk about the exhibition and have refreshments

Sögur / Stories

Sýningin „Sögur“ er samsýning listamannana Írisar Höddu og Telmu Har. Á sýningunni eru ljósmyndaverk unnin á tímabilinu 2022 til 2023. Eins og titill sýningarinnar gefur til kynna eru sögur viðfangsefni sýningarinnar. Telma og Íris eiga það sameiginlegt að rýna í eigin sjálfsímyndir í sinni listsköpun en á þessari sýningu skoða þær bæði hvernig sögur eru sagður um konur og hvaða mögulegu afleiðingar sögur geta haft á sjálfsímynd kvenna.

Íris Hadda er myndlistarkona fædd á Íslandi en hún hefur búið mestan hluta ævi sinnar á Spáni. Hún er menntaður listfræðingur og sérfræðingur í skapandi skrifum. Hún hefur verið búsett á Íslandi frá árinu 2020 og stundar nú nám í ljósmyndun við Ljósmyndaskólann samhliða starfi við Listasafn Reykjavíkur. Helst áhugamál hennar eru sjálfsímynd, skáldskapur, „arkíf “ og ljóðræn tákn mynda.

Telma Har hefur verið að nota ljósmyndun sem miðil til að skapa og er að nema skapandi ljósmyndum í Ljósmyndaskóla Reykjavíkur. Hún notar sjálfan sig sem hálfgerða gínu eða bý til karakter til að skapa ákveðna hugmynd sem hún fær. Verkin hennar eru nokkurs konar leið til að túlka hugmyndina sem hún hefur um sjálfan sig og heiminn sem hún lifi í. Hver mynd er í senn framlenging af fortíðinni, hvaðan hún kemur og það sem hún hefur lært, sem og sýnishorn af framtíðinni hvert hún er að fara.

Solo exhibition at Smiðjan in Slippbarinn. Opening night 26th of October at 5 pm - Everybody welcome.

My first solo exhibition at Litla gallerý in Hafnarfjörður, title of my exhibition is My book of Secrets.

The exhibition My Book of Secrets displays work of photographs where its author strives to display how the medium becomes a platform for self-exploration, self-reflection, research, and redefinition of the self.

For the last few years, I have been exploring photography as an art platform. I frequently use myself as a mannequin and create characters as a way to recreate thought processes. My works are my platform to interpret the notion I have of myself and the world I exist in. Each photograph is at the same time an extension of the past, the things that shape me and what I have learned, as well as glimpse into the future I go towards. The main artistic influence on my works derives from Cindy Sherman, Tim Walker, Anja Niemi, Yasumasa Morimura and Uldus Bakthiozina.

The title, My Book of Secrets, refers to books held by women in the 16th Century, that entailed different recipes and women-guides. By that, the exhibition hints towards “the secret” as a hidden part of the woman’s life, the thing that could not be discussed openly. The exhibition My Book of Secret: Part I shows the artist's first steps within the platform, with focus on character creation, shaped by inner and outer factors.

Exhibition in Hotel Breiddalsvik on the East coast of Iceland. In the lobby you’ll see three works from the series Völva, 2021. In the hallway is the series Hulduvera (Hidden figure), 2022 and the restaurant is the still life serie Þorramatur (Traditional Icelandic food) from 2021.
