D51: Everything I want to tell you

Sadie Cook, Jo Pawlowska

D51 Sadie Cook og Jo Pawlowska: Allt sem ég vil segja þér

At the 51st D-Gallery exhibition you are greeted by thousands of still and moving images. They span staged dream sequences, glitched videos, screenshots of late-night conversations, pixelated selfies, and medical documentation. Each work is a facet of the artists’ exploration of the limits of their own bodies as surfaces on which experiences are traced. Allow yourself to flow, merge and dissolve into a space where the dichotomies remain unresolved, and balance is found in chaos and disorder.

Sadie Cook and Jo Pawlowska's collaboration began due to their identical buzzcuts. Their work germinated in long conversations around hair, image, self, a-linearity, and the internet. However, the project itself truly began on a sunny afternoon in May 2024. That day, Jo took their first testosterone dose, and Sadie dipped their foot in slime and snapped a picture with a plastic pink camera.

Reykjavik Art Museum ‘s D-Gallery exhibition series started in 2007. Emerging artists, who are shaping the local contemporary art scene, are invited to hold their first solo show in a public museum.
