Hvernig getur myndlistin skapað nýja sýn á heiminn, sjónarhorn sem eru ekki hugsuð út frá manninum einum heldur öllum hinum lífverunum? Á sýningunni Sjávarblámi bregða listamennirnir Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir og Mark Wilson ljósi á flókin tengsl manna og hvala.

Í rúma tvo áratugi hafa þau Bryndís og Mark verið í fararbroddi þverfaglegra rannsókna á siðferðilegum álitamálum er lúta að sambandi ólíkra tegunda; viðfangsefni sem verður sífellt brýnna í skugga aldauða tegundanna.

Þau skoða samskipti fólks og dýra með hliðsjón af rannsóknum vísinda- og fræðimanna úr ólíkum greinum og fjalla um menningarlega og samfélagslega þætti sem hafa áhrif á vistkerfi og hegðun manna og annarra skepna.

Í grafíkverkum sínum, vatnslitamyndum, skúlptúrum, hljóðinnsetningum og myndbandsverkum opna Bryndís og Mark samtal um viðkvæmt viðfangsefni sem byggir á menningarsögulegri orðræðu og táknfræðilegum vísunum.

Á sýningunni Sjávarblámi einbeita þau sér að lífi tiltekinna hvala sem þau hafa fylgst með, ýmist í gegnum frásagnir annarra eða milliliðalaust í vettvangsferðum á Skjálfanda. Þau bregða upp þversagnakenndri mynd, annars vegar af tilfinningalegum viðbrögðum mannfólksins við hvalreka og hins vegar deilum um hvalveiðar við Ísland. Á sýningunni skapast tækifæri til að endurmeta hið flókna og mótsagnakennda samband mannfólks og hvala.

Artists’ Tour 🗣️

On the final day of the exhibition Seas’ Blue Yonder, artists Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson guide visitors through the exhibition.

How can the art of our time reimagine new, post-humanist perspectives on the relationship of humans to non-humans within the surrounding natural world? In the exhibition Sjávarblámi / The Seas’ Blue Yonder, artists Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson offer an integrated approach to understanding the relationship between whales and humans.

For more than two decades, Bryndís and Mark have worked at the forefront of interdisciplinary, research-based investigations into moral philosophical questions about interspecies relations –a discourse made more critical at a time of planetary crisis. Considering the work of scientists and scholars from various fields of study as part of their research methods, the artists examine human-animal interaction, illuminating how ecological, cultural, and social factors influence both human and more-than-human behavior and ecosystems. Through multiple means, here including prints, ink drawings, sculpture, mixed media, sound and video works, Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson offer an alternative vision, one that is grounded in discursive cultural history while drawing on iconographic references. In Seas’ Blue Yonder, they focus on the traces of individual whales they have tracked – either through narratives or directly through fieldwork undertaken in Skjálfandi Bay, near Húsavík – in juxtaposition with the paradox of whale strandings and echoes of Iceland’s recent whaling history, providing an opportunity to recalibrate a complex and conflicted relationship between humans and whales.
