Hildur Bjarnadóttir, docent at the department of Fine Art will open the exhibition Contemplated randomness on Saturday, December 3rd at 4 pm - 6 pm in Hverfsigallerí.

Contemplated randomness consists of six works produced after Hildur Bjarnadóttir installed her exhibition Ecosystem of colors at Kjarvalstaðir, this fall. In these new works Bjarnadóttir continues to develop the approach to material and materiality she uses in the works in Ecosystem of colors, and the interplay of woven paintings and dyed silk works is still being thought out and explored. In Contemplated randomness she continues to use dye from plants from her plot of land in the south of Iceland, juxtaposed with acrylic paint.

Hildur Bjarnadóttir (1969) lives and works in Reykjavík and Flóahreppur. She graduated from the textile department of The Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts in 1992 and finished her MFA degree from the fine arts department in Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York in 1997. During the spring semester 2017 Hildur will defend a PhD project she has been working on since 2013 at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design.
