Árni Gudmundsson "Fantasy of a human" 20/8 - 4/9 2016
"This show centers on fantasy and absolutely not on ideas, culture, observations, study nor education, discovery, knowledge, politics, invention, science, values, experience or being good. Why is it called 'Fantasy of a Human'? While I am not completely sure, I believe it has to do with eliminating the structures that are the base of previous words. 'Fantasy' is a word that is free from those structures. It does not matter where you come from or if you are child or adult. We all have equal possibilities to create a fantastic vision on our own terms without the interference of real world structures." - Árni Gudmundsson
Arni Gudmundsson’s “Fantasy of a Human” might need a reality check. Who better to provide that than his wife, performing artist Anne Weshinskey? Weshinskey offers a counterpoint to Gudmundsson’s vision of works free from the “interference of real world structures” by inserting herself into her husband’s works via video and performance. At the same time, Gudmundsson and Weshinskey will join forces to pose the question of “What if things had been different?”
