Virtual Studio Visit with Shoplifter Hrafnhildur Arnardottir

Join us on Saturday, February 6 at 2 PM ET for a Virtual Studio Visit with the artist Shoplifter in Reykjavik, Iceland, to hear about her latest projects! One of Iceland’s leading contemporary artists Shoplifter (Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir) represented the country at the Venice Biennale in 2019, and her installation Chromo Sapiens opened at the Icelandic Pavilion in May 2019 in Venice, Italy, before later traveling to the Reykjavik Art Museum in January 2020. Working with both synthetic and natural hair, her genre-bending sculptures, wall murals, and site-specific installations explore themes of vanity, self-image, fashion, beauty, and popular myth. In today’s program, tune in to hear how color, hair, and humor inspire Shoplifter’s immersive, tactile, and kaleidoscopic art!
