Hrafnkell Sigurðsson, a guest artist at Gígur, is currently working on a sculpture from found materials in the Mývatn area, in collaboration with local residents and sculpture students at Þingeyjarskóla. On November 21st from 1 PM to 2 PM, there will be an open house in Hrafnkell's studio, and everyone is welcome to stop by, see the artist at work, and get a glimpse of how the artwork will turn out. 

Hrafnkell has long practiced environmental art, where landscape and nature—including the man-made environment—become part of the creative process and shape the artwork together with the artist. In the Mývatn area, he is particularly interested in decommissioned agricultural equipment which, along with the work's location and setting, influences the final result. The interplay between mechanical materials and organic forms is a central theme.

Hrafnkell will also speak about the work at the open event "Chat about Environmental Art," which will be held at Gígur on November 25 at 5:00 PM..

Hrafnkell's work and sculptures by students from Þingeyjarskóla will be part of the exhibition Viðbragð at Akureyri Art Museum, which opens on Creative responses á Listasafninu á Akureyri, sem opnar November 27 at 8:30 PM.Everyone is welcome to that opening as well.
