Katrin Sigurdardottir: The Icelandic Pavilion

Text by Eva Heisler, Katrin Omarsdottir, Mary Ceruti, Ilaria Bonacossa, Hafthor Yngvason.
Published by Reykjavik Art Museum

Playfully situating her work on the borders of mental and material space, Icelandic artist Katrin Sigurdardottir (born 1967) creates sculptural works that often resemble rough sketches in three dimensions, and which inhabit an intermediary status somewhere between cartography, architecture and landscape. These works are frequently based on real locations, as they exist in the artist’s memory. In recent years Sigurdardottir has received substantial acclaim for her increasingly elaborate projects, and is already well known in the U.S. after solo shows at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA PS1. The Icelandic Pavilion documents an ambitious, large-scale sculptural installation Sigurdardottir created after being chosen to represent Iceland in the 2013 Venice Biennale (the installation will travel to Reykjavik and New York in 2014). The Icelandic Pavilion includes an interview with the artist and a substantial essay by poet and critic Eva Heisler.
