One Comes as Another Goes, and They All Ride Swiftly

If it has been done, it can be done again – but it will always become something new.

Some years ago I was talking to a couple of women in their 90s. We talked about all sorts of things, but when we had discussed love and courtship for a short while, one of them jogged my arm gently and asked if I had a husband. I said I didn’t. “But then you must have a boyfriend?”. I didn’t know how to best answer question so I muttered some objections. Eventually I said that I had had a few but that none had stuck around for a very long time. She laughed at my awkwardness and told me not to worry about that too much, she then grinned and said: “One comes as another goes, and the all ride swiftly.”

Repetition in itself is easy. That which is repeated has been – otherwise it could not be repeated – but the very fact that it has been makes the repetition into something new and different. 

From October 4^th to November 29^th a series of 24 solo shows by 3^rd year students in Fine Art will be taking place in Laugarnes.

Each Thursday, solo exhibitions will be opened at three different locations in Laugarnes: Navel, in the middle of the building, The Cube on 2^nd floor and Hulduland which is located on the north side of the building. Openings are from 17:00 - 19:00. The student's solo shows are a part of the seminar Professor's workshops in the supervision of Hekla Dögg Jónsdóttir accompanied by teachers Unnar Örn and Sindri Leifsson.
