Last Saturday, September 19th our first-year Master’s students in Fine Art opened the exhibition murmuration at Verksmiðjan in Hjalteyri.
For the past ten years, the 1st year MA Fine Art students, have spent one week in Hjalteyri as part of the fall workshop.
The project is a collaboration between Verksmiðjan in Hjalteyri and the Iceland University of the Arts.
The workshop finishes with the students setting up an exhibition at the factory, where the history of the factory and the uniqueness of the place served as the material and subject of their works.
This time, nine students from IUA, along with two KUNO students, stayed in Hjalteyri from September 13th to 20th. Visual artist and professor at the Iceland University of the Arts, Sigurður Guðjónsson, led the workshop alongside visual artist and founder of Verksmiðjan, Gústav Geir Bollason.
