'My anchor point is here': How Icelandic artist Sigurður Guðjónsson’s Venice pavilion is—and isn’t—inspired by homeland:
This time, the Icelandic pavilion is right inside the Arsenale, one of the main exhibition venues. The Icelandic Art Center estimates that the number of visitors to this year’s pavilion will be 20 times that of previous editions.
“I was inspired by the space, the high ceiling, and the flow of the room, which influences the mood and the motion of the work,” the artist noted. “The video work is like a source to activate the space.”Despite its small population of just, Iceland has been participating in Biennale since 1960. It also has a thriving music scene.
“It’s a very local, small art scene,” he said of Iceland. “I like being here but it’s very important for us to get a broad perspective—it’s extremely important to get away.”
