A work refers to the result in any form, a work of art or writing, and the condition is that it has been communicated in a public forum. The university's stated policy is to encourage an experimental approach and diverse forms of communication in research work.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"info-section bg-dark\" id=\"\" >\n\t<div class=\"container animation-child-elements animation-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"title-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Research project hosted by the Iceland Academy of the Arts<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-10 mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-opener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Building bridges through collaboration: MetamorPhonics as an approach to socially engaged music making<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"tag tag-blue\">Current<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"ico-plus\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"drop\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hold\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Principal investigator: \u00deorbj\u00f6rg Daphne Hall, associate professor in the music department<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Building bridges through collaboration: MetamorPhonics as an approach to socially engaged music making <\/em>(2024-2026), - a three-year artist-led collaborative research project.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Various socially engaged and participatory music projects work with diverse communities, such as people in determination and health care settings.

Special emphasis will be placed on exploring how they participated in shaping the leading music institutions that still operate today (the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, choirs and music schools), but also certain areas of music education and performance (for example, the performance of baroque music and church music). Their contribution will also be examined in a cultural-political context, not least with regard to the Reykjav\u00edk Music Association and disputes about work permits for foreign musicians in the years around 1930-40, which both F\u00cdH and B\u00cdL drew into. By exploring original data in museums and privately owned in Iceland and abroad, interviews with contemporaries and a comprehensive examination of contemporary sources, it will be possible for the first time to paint a picture of the life and artistic contribution of these important musicians who until now have not received the place they deserve.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00c1rni Heimir Ing\u00f3lfsson has been researching Icelandic music history for two decades.

Visual material and visual language in reproduced material was the research subject, from monocots to public visual language. The research was a collaborative project between the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the National Library of Iceland, the University Library and the Icelandic Design Museum. The research is based on two types of methodology; imaging of stylistic focuses on the one hand and the methods of exhibition management. The results of the project were divided into exhibition sections during the period where the results within the process were communicated and lectures on the subject were delivered. Furthermore, the material that the research obtained was recorded in the open database of the partner institutions and thus opened up to the public for information. Thus, the research opens up search and knowledge of visual language as well as access to history of visual language authors for both museums, educational institutions and the public.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-section txt-columns lpb\"  >\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row animation-child-elements animation-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>IRIS<\/h2>\n<p>IRIS (Icelandic Research Information System) is a research portal that shows the research activity of Icelandic universities and institutions that are members of the portal The system is run by the National Library of Iceland - University Library, while the Ministry of Education and Culture purchased the system and entrusted the museum with its operation and management.
