Egill Sæbjörnsson: Between a rock and art
i8 Gallery
Runs until Aug. 25, 11:00-17:00 Tuesday-Friday, 13:00-17:00 Saturday
Free
The world around us is made up many elements. Wind. Water. Earth. What, then, should we consider art among the forms of
the natural world we live in?
Artist Egill Sæbjörnsson proposes that works of art exist with their own power, that perhaps just as we attach reality to
the words and symbols with which we communicate, so, too, can tokens from the natural world perpetuate meaning. Egill’s
latest work will be at i8 Gallery until Aug. 25; this will be his second solo exhibition there. The exhibition is an annexation to his
former experimentations involving sculpture alongside sound and visual animations. As a whole, it comprises three installations
presenting a discussion between physical, sculptural objects and computer-generated image projections.
In his own words, “the pieces are independent creatures with their own agency,” appropriate because Egill’s exhibition
coincides with the publication of a book: “Stones According to Egill Sæbjörnsson." In it, he poses questions that include: Are
worms artists? Are minerals artists? If one stone falls from a mountain top and hits another one on the head, is that commu-
nication? Entry is free at i8 Gallery for this exhibit, so if you’re interested in seeing Egill’s experimentations, do so before late
August. BW
