Sólbjört Vera Ómarsdóttir
a misunderstanding in planning procedures
In her exhibition 'a misunderstanding in planning procedures', Sólbjört presents new works created over the past year. The exhibition explores ambiguous themes related to navigating major life changes. Her works reference moments rooted in her immediate environment while also addressing broader existential reflections. The themes span familiar domestic spectacles, repetitive elements of daily life, and emotional challenges that reflect the contemporary zeitgeist.
Sólbjört works with found-object sculptures while also addressing her subjects through intricate yet humorous craftsmanship.
Sólbjört Vera Ómarsdóttir (b. 1993) is an independent artist and has been a board member of the artist-run space Kling & Bang since 2020. Her works have been exhibited in group shows such as D-Vítamín at the Reykjavik Art Museum, Rúllandi Snjóbolti in Djúpivogur, and Löng Helgi in Reykjavik, Borgarnes, and Hvolsvöllur. Through her practice, Sólbjört often highlights playful themes found in everyday melancholy, typically working with media such as sculpture and video.

Hrafnkell Tumi Georgsson
As The Crow Flies
In the exhibition 'As The Crow Flies', Hrafnkell Tumi presents sculptures and video works. The multi-channel video shows simultaneous events taking place on different mountain peaks in South Iceland during sunset. Created over the past year, the works explore themes of communication and landscape in time and space. Hrafnkell often examines physical phenomena that influence our daily lives, employing simple technological solutions — solutions that often prove complex in execution. The works on display investigate different phases of perception that we alternate between in daily life, as well as the methods we use to understand and document the world around us.
Hrafnkell Tumi Georgsson (b. 1999) graduated with a BA in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2022. He primarily works with sculpture and video and works as a filmmaker alongside his artistic practice. Hrafnkell has exhibited works at the Reykjavik Winter Lights Festival 2023, List í Ljósi in Seyðisfjörður 2023, and It Plays Hard at the Nordic House in 2024. This is his first solo exhibition. Hrafnkell is on the Sequences festival advisory board.
