The silent drumbeat is the decoy, and when you understand that it is not separable from the narrative you surrender to the grace of that particular frame. That's my personal belief. It is not like it happens all the time, but when it happens, it is perfect and you don't \u0301t know why. I do want my viewers of my works to experience my belief. That they can see or submit to my vision and it is really arrogant.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Daria S\u00f3l Andrews<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan\u00edel Magn\u00fasson\u00b4s exhibition \u201cTRANSIT\u201d is on view at Hverfisgaller\u00ed until May 16th, 2020. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hverfisgalleri.is\/exhibition\/transit\/\">https:\/\/hverfisgalleri.is\/exhibition\/transit\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Photos courtesy of <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hverfisgaller\u00ed and the artist.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,10],"tags":[824,62,825],"class_list":["post-9951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artzine-in-english","category-vidtol","tag-daniel-magnussons","tag-hverfisgalleri","tag-transit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Drumming Beat: Dan\u00edel Magn\u00fasson at Hverfisgaller\u00ed - artzine.is<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/artzine.is\/?p=9951\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"is_IS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Drumming Beat: Dan\u00edel Magn\u00fasson at Hverfisgaller\u00ed - artzine.is\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dan\u00edel Magn\u00fassons\u00b4s exhibition TRANSIT at Hverfisgaller\u00ed explores a rhythm of detail, depicting images of close up angles and geometrical forms created out of seemingly everyday moments and objects.
