Resonance: Anna Hallin & Olga Bergmann opna sýningu í Finnlandi

Resonance is an international group exhibition previously shown in 2021 at Verksmiðjan á Hjalteyri (the herring factory in Hjalteyri) in Iceland. Awarded the Icelandic Art Prize 2022 for the best group exhibition in Iceland the works of five artists are presented drawing from the world of environment, technology, and storytelling. The artists of the exhibition are Olga Bergmann (IS), Angela Dufresne (US), Anna Hallin (IS), Vesa-Pekka Rannikko (FI), and Simon Rouby (FR). On display are paintings, sculptures, videos, and animation. An essential part of the exhibition’s starting point is the beautiful barren aesthetics of the old industrial property, which connects Hjalteyri’s milieu with the Halli exhibition space of Kunsthalle Seinäjoki. The Icelandic artist-curator duo Berghall (Olga Bergmann & Anna Hallin) are responsible for the concept of Resonance. An essential element in their curatorial work is care and concern.

Opening party at Friday the 16th of June at 5-8 pm. all welcome!
