Sýningartími: 18. Apríl – 3. Maí

Á sýningunni eru verk sem unnin eru upp úr mánaðardvöl á vinnustofu í Varanasi á Indlandi 2024. Verkin byggjast á sex ára rannsókn Elsu á litum og litarefnum, þar sem áherslan hefur verið á náttúrulegan, fundinn og staðbundinn efnivið, auk alkemískra ferla við litagerð.

Á Indlandi skoðaði Elsa meðal annars notkun hversdagslegra litagjafa í daglegu lífi. Upplifanir hennar og reynsla daganna í Varanasi framkölluðust í formi fundinna litarefna í leiðöngrum um borgina. Á sýningunni leggur hún áherslu á að líkamna efniviðinn sem hún safnaði þar og framkalla hann í tíma, rými og samhengi sýningarstaðarins. Það á sér stað stefnumót ólíkra staðhátta og menningarheima í marglaga upplifunum og efniskennd.

Elsa Dóróthea Gísladóttir hefur starfað að myndlist í þrjá áratugi. Hún nam við Myndlista- og handíðaskóla Íslands 1986–1990 og stundaði framhaldsnám við AKI í Hollandi 1991–1994. Hún hefur setið í stjórn Nýlistasafnsins og Myndlistaskólans í Reykjavík, starfað í úthlutunarnefndum á vegum SÍM og hlotið starfslaun listamanna. 

Á síðustu árum hafa gjörningar verið mikilvægur hluti af myndlist Elsu. Sýningar hennar einkennast af umbreytingarferlum og gjörningatengdri úrvinnslu og framsetningu.

Stefnumót - Encounter
Opening: Saturday, April 18, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Venue: Grafíksalurinn, Hafnarhús, (Tryggvagata 17, harbor side)                        Exhibition Dates: April 18 – May 3

The exhibition features works created following a month-long residency in Varanasi, India, in 2024. The pieces are rooted in Elsa’s six-year research into color and pigments, focusing on natural, found, and local materials, alongside alchemical processes in color production.

During her time in India, Elsa explored the use of everyday color sources in daily life. Her experiences and observations from her days in Varanasi manifested as pigments discovered during excursions throughout the city. In this exhibition, she emphasizes embodying the materials collected there, manifesting them within the time, space, and context of the gallery. The result is an encounter between distinct locales and cultures through multilayered experiences and materiality.

Elsa Dóróthea Gísladóttir has been active in the visual arts for three decades. She studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts (1986–1990) and completed her postgraduate studies at AKI in the Netherlands (1991–1994). She has served on the boards of The Living Art Museum (Nýlistasafnið), the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts and participated in grant allocation committees for SÍM (The Association of Icelandic Visual Artists)

In recent years, performance art has become a vital component of Elsa's practice. Her exhibitions are characterized by processes of transformation and performance-based processing and presentation.
