Welcome to the opening of Of What is Left 11 April 2015 at 14.00 - 20.00
An art project from an âarchipelagic thoughtâ - perspective
The project Of What Is Left investigates what we as a culture categorize as âwhat is leftâ and consider what value things of such status have in our present. By taking as its starting point an active negotiation of the Nordic identity, and through the lens of the three countries' language, and the participantsâ correspondence, the project investigates the leftover as a life potential in increasingly unidirectional contemporaries. The project aims to adopt the concept of âarchipelagic thoughtâ (Edouard Glissant) as an approach to investigation.
Read the catalog text: Of What is left - Imagine the Spaces In-Between, by Magnus Bons.
The project Of What Is Left is also the name of Studio 44âs exhibition at Kunstschlager. The overall project is a co-operation between three art galleries: Studio44 (Sweden), Kunstschlager (Iceland) and Gallery Huuto (Finland). The participating artists from Sweden are Christina Göthesson, Susanne Högdahl Holm, Joel Hurlburt and Ola Nilsson.
Studio 44, Stockholm is visiting the pop-up exhibition space of Kunstschlager, Reykjavik. The exhibition is part of the Off Venue program at Sequences Art Festival VII.
Artists: Christina Göthesson, Susanne Högdahl Holm, Joel Hurlburt, Ola Nilsson
Adress: EiĂ°istorg 15, 170 Seltjarnarnes, Iceland

This exhibition is one part of a larger project, entitled Tricycle, a collaboration between three artist-run gallery platforms in Finland / Gallery Huuto, in Sweden / Studio44, and in Iceland / Kunstschlager, all of which, in addition to conducting exhibitions, in different ways participate in the conversation about art and art contexts. The project explores themes of identity, community, abundance, value and crisis from three different locations in the Nordic region.
This Project was supported with funding from:

Joel Hurlburt: exhibition "Cirkel Studien" at ABF-Huset in Stockholm:
âSverige Ă€r till en grundlĂ€ggande grad en studiecirkeldemokrati. Det Ă€r genom studiecirklar som generationer har trĂ€nat sig sjĂ€lva i kritisk analys sĂ„ att de kan nĂ„ förnuftiga beslut genom att arbeta med varandra utan att ge upp sina ideal i den processenâ.
Olof Palmes ord frÄn 1969 Àr aktuella Àven idag.
UtstÀllningen Cirkelstudien i ABF-huset Àr inspirerad av folkrörelsernas bildningsarbete dÀr studiecirkeln har en central roll. De medverkande konstnÀrerna har studerat pÄ masterprogrammet Konst i offentligheten pÄ Konstfack. PÄ olika sÀtt har de anvÀnt sig av ABF-husets historia och utvecklat verk i dialog med husets vÀggar och mÀnniskor.
VÀlkommen till vernissage 29 januari mellan klockan 17.00 och 20.00. UtstÀllningen pÄgÄr mellan 30 januari och 22 februari 2015.

Joel Hurlburt Researches 3d animation, augmented reality, and virtual reality at royal institute of art, Stockholm
Joel will be at the Royal Institute of Art, in Stockholm (KKH), during 2014-2015, where he will take part in the Project Year program as part of the Re:motion Group. Experiments in 3DP zoetropes, motion capture, VR immersive environments, and AR interactivity will all be explored. From the Re:motion organizers:
Reality can be strengthened in various ways. It can be reproduced exactly, be exaggerated, manipulated or converted into fiction. No matter how reality is perceived - it can be used. The course re:motion dives straight into the opportunities of illusions to challenge the physical reality.
By exploring motions in three-dimensional shapes through both analogue and digital animation we create opportunities for three-dimensional artistic work to be develop in relation to space and time.
Is it possible to merge a reality that can be explored through wearable devices such as AR*, Augmented Reality or Oculus Rift * with artistic practices? How can intangible expressions be created to take place in public spaces?
* AR - a layer of variable 3D digital information that can be considered e.g. through a camera in a wearable device. * Oculus Rift can be described as digital "glasses" that enhance or alter reality.

joel hurlburt receives mfa: art in the public realm, exhibits at konstfack,in stockholm:
Exhibition dates: 15-25 May, 2014. From the exhibition catalog:
Some of us claim that what is not spoken outright in a conversation is the most interesting; what is triggered by it, the space between bodies. This ambiguous materialization is intertwined with the words, sounds, and gestures.
It's this peripheral language universe that Joel Hurlburt, through his thinking process and in the making, reflects and gives form to in his art project Speaking Volumes, presented as part of the exam exhibtion at Konstfack...
