\u201cAt three weeks old my Grandmother style me from my mother, but it was Grandmothers home made opera that style my heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMA D.A.\u201c<\/em> is a combination of the concert \u2018MA\u2019<\/em> and the durational performance installation \u2018DA\u2019<\/em>. It bridges two cultural institutions in Korpovogur and hybrid music, visual and performance art, in an attempt to tie the various practices of Richardt's art together in space and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018DA\u2019<\/em> is a part of the group exhibition \u2018Stare\u2019<\/em> in nearby Ger\u00f0asafn which also features the award-winning documentary \u2018My Mother is Pin<\/em>k\u2019 by Cecilie Debell, about Richardt's mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Salarinn and Ger\u00f0asafn offer free admission on the day for those who wish to experience Richardt's \u2018MA<\/em>\u2019 concert at Salurinn and his installation \u2018D.A.<\/em>\u2019at Ger\u00f0asafn as well as the documentary \u2018My mother is Pink\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both venues are wheelchair accessible and sitting is provided at the concert.
