Path across land
Agnes Ársælsdóttir, Nina Maria Allmoslechner, Arnaud Tremblay

The international group exhibition Path Across Land, with artists Agnes Ársælsdóttir (IS), Nina Maria Allmoslechner (AT) and Arnaud Tremblay (CA), is centered on a shared topic - connection to a place. What does it mean to be connected and coexist? What is revealed at the meeting point of natural and human-cultivated land?
The works in the exhibition all emerge from findings on the artists personal travels through South of Iceland for the last couple of years. Through both a local and foreign lens, via various art media, historical literature and recent environmental research, all three artists look at how the environment has an impact on the ways we operate every day. With this small exhibition we are inviting the viewer to be part of the questions that arose with the visits and research in relation to the specific locations and the creative processes that discuss land as an archive and speculate on possible futures.
Ceramic-volcanic sculptures by Arnaud Tremblay express a direct dialogue between earth and human. Clay and lava stones as art materials are connected to local myths and the theory of tactile memory. Photographic works by Nina Maria Allmoslechner show a bond we can share with people that are no longer with us and never knew, yet revealing the possibilities of one's identity via photography, writing and travelling. Agnes Ársælsdóttir’s digital artworks enable us to witness the language of the transformation of water that is being used again and again to create power that homes and industries depend on, coming from the longest river of Iceland, Þjórsá.
