Út frá einu og yfir í annað

Ásgerður Arnardóttir

English below:

Ásgerður veltir fyrir sér meintu mikilvægi þess að flokka listaverk niður eftir miðlum. Það sem einkennir sköpunarferli hennar er leikur með sjónarhorn í gegnum endurtekningaraðferðina og sýningin einkennist þannig af ferðalagi skúlptúra gegnum heima, mismunandi miðla og tíma. Það mætti segja að verkin séu millibilsástand þess óhlutbundna og þess hlutbundna. Verður viðfangsefnið sem kannski var óhlutbundið í byrjun að hlutbundnu um leið og það er meðhöndlað oftar en einu sinni? Er það endurtekningin sem skapar hið hlutbundna? Og er yfir höfuð hægt að telja eitthvað sem óhlutbundið?

Verkin eru partur af stærri sýningu Ásgerðar, Út frá einu og yfir í annað, sem haldin var í Listasal Mosfellsbæjar í júní árið 2020. Á þeirri sýningunni tekur Ásgerður fyrir þrjá skúlptúra sem hún síðan varpar fram í mismunandi útfærslum og reynir þannig í hvert sinn að skapa nýja upplifun. Hún speglar þá fram og aftur í ólíkum miðlum til þess að fá enn dýpri tilfinningu fyrir þeim skúlptúr sem hún vinnur með hverju sinni. Með hverri útfærslu virðist eitthvað nýtt koma fram og ákveðnu einkenni gefið meiri gaum en fyrr.

Ásgerður contemplates the alleged importance of categorizing works of art by their mediums. What characterizes her creative process is a play with perspective through the method of repetition and the exhibition is thus characterized by the journey of sculptures through the worlds, different mediums and time. It could be said that the works are the intermediate state of the abstract and the objective. Will the subject that may have been abstract in the beginning become objective as soon as it is dealt with more than once? Is it repetition that creates the objective? And can anything be considered abstract?

The works are part of Ásgerður’s larger exihibition, From one thing to another, which was held in Listasalur Mosfellsbæjar in June 2020. In that exhibition, Ásgerður takes on three sculptures which she then projects in different implementations, each time trying to create a new experience. She reflects them back and forth in different mediums to get an even deeper feeling for the sculptures she works with each time. With each execution, something new seems to emerge and certain characteristics are given more attention to than before.
