Welcome to the fourth lunchtime lecture of the fall in the Faculty of Fine Arts.
Artist Sigurður Guðjónsson is best known for time-related works where image, sound and space form an unbroken whole. He focuses mainly on the function of many kinds of equipment as well as the study of the material world. In an impressive way, the artist creates complex, multi-layered works where the viewer is lured into a world of soothing repetition, rhythm and order, and the boundaries of the human and mechanical become blurred.
Sigurður Guðjónsson represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale 2022. He won the Icelandic Art Award 2018 for the exhibition Innljós.
Sigurður has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time teacher since 2004 and was appointed professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in 2025. he studied at the Iceland University of the Arts and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His work can be found in public and private collections.
All welcome!
