bottle and can. maybe not a and b but ≅ (approximately equal to) or ≆ (approximately but not exactly equal to) or ≇ (neither approximately nor exactly equal to). these are containers. what happens if something goes in the middle? a in relation to ⥁ and b in relation to ♻️. the bottle in 🕳️, a line in between. two dimensions suit the role of the can better. ants nest in 🕳️, and chirping birds gather branches. bird carriers carry out their own processes. this is nothing but ≒ (approximately equal to or a picture of) a small bird.

for circa in another is Atli Finnsson's solo exhibition. Atli's process is characterized by an impulsive approach to material, where form emerges from the material properties of objects. More often than not, he works with readily available or reused materials from his immediate environment. The works take shape in improvisations where the motifs are defined and repeated, distorted and stretched. His approach is similar to that of an instrumentalist who plays a melody with his fingers and then repeats the melody by striking its chord on another object that is closest to him. Recurring themes in Atli's works include systems, games, philosophical speculation and drawing. Recently, programming has been on his mind, and the exhibition title "for circa in another" refers to a for loop where a certain section of code is repeated until a certain goal has been achieved. In this case, the role of the loop is not tied to the result, but rather its definition and role are actually illegible.

The exhibition opens on October 16th at 17:00 PM and will be open between 12-17 PM from Friday to Sunday after the opening.

bottle and can. maybe they aren't a and b but ≅ (approximately equal to) or ≆ (approximately but not actually equal to) or ≇ (neither approximately nor actually equal to)? they are containers. what happens if something goes in the middle? a plugged into ⥁ and b plugged into ♻️. the bottle should be in a 🕳️ with a line between the two. two dimensionality suits the can purpose better. ants build their nest in the 🕳️, and chirping birds gather some twigs and branches. the berries carry out their own processes. It's only supposed to be ≒ (approximately equal to or the image of) a bird.

More often than not, he works with readily available or reused materials from his immediate environment. The works take shape in improvisation, where motifs are defined and repeated, distorted and stretched. The approach is similar to that of an instrumentalist who improvises a melody and then repeats the melody by banging its rhythm on another object close by. Recurring themes in Atli's works include systems, games, philosophical speculations and drawing. Recently programming has become an important theme, with the exhibition title "for circa in other" referencing the definition of a for loop. A for loop is a section of code that is repeated until a condition is met. In this case the for loop does not serve a specific function, but instead it's definition and function is unclear.

The exhibition opens the 16th of October at 17:00 and will be open during the weekend between 12:00-17:00.
