On Friday the 23^rd of November at 1PM an open lecture by Hekla Dögg Jónsdóttir will be held at the Iceland University of the Arts, Laugarnesvegur 91.

Hekla Dögg Jónsdóttir will introduce a few guiding principles and characteristics of her works as well as go through her practice to illustrate the ideology in chosen works and creating art as a whole.

These transformations already have a place in our world: „When a coin, one of the strongest metaphors for materialism, is cast into a well it suddently becomes a wish that is a kind of spiritual symbol.“

She received a BFA 1997 and a MFA 1999 from California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles. Since 1999 Hekla has exhibited her works actively both nationally and internationally.
