Amanda Riffo wins Icelandic Art Prize
Hafnar.haus member Amanda Riffo is the recipient of the Icelandic Art Prize for the exhibition House Of Purkinje that was shown in Nýlistasafnið last year.
Visit Thomas Pausz' exhibition “Hide & Seek”
The exhibition is open 27.01.2024 – 02.03.2024
Hide & Seek is an ecological fable following multiple narratives. We encounter fragments from the diary of an amateur wildlife photographer lost in Vatnsmýri, birds attempting to build nests in human architecture, and a fan of Sir David Attenborough. Through photography, collages and artifacts, Thomas Pausz portrays the struggles, hopes and failures of capturing images of wildlife: he tries to make his own camouflage to become invisible in nature, waits for the elusive birds, struggles with cameras, and sometimes loses the focus. The assemblages of images resulting from his experience resemble memories or dreams of other landscapes.

Amanda Riffo – House of Purkinje
Amanda Riffo’s solo exhibition at The Living Art Museum, House of Purkinje. The opening takes place March 18 from 17—19.
House of Purkinje stirs up our idea of completeness. In her practice, Riffo creates exercises, documents experiments inspired by cognitive science and optics, and all kinds of misunderstandings. Her retinas being radically altered by strong astigmatism, her work has evolved into a permanent questioning of reality. This practice has been reinforced by working for movie sets aside from her studio practice, which also leaks into this exhibition.
