April 15 (Sat) | 8pm to 9pm Join us Saturday evening at Spring Workshop when pianist Tinna Thorsteinsdottir and video artist Sigurdur Gudjonsson will turn the space into a laboratory to explore the potential of performance across media. Selected fellows of The Modern Academy will also present new works-in-progress that explore the musicality of light and the spatiality of sound. The featured work, Trajectories, is a collaborative composition for piano, electronics and video projection, composed by Anna Thorvaldsdottir with visuals by Sigurdur Gudjonsson. The piece was commissioned by The Reykjavik Center for Visual Music in 2014. Anna Thorvaldsdottir, currently composer-in-residence at the New York Philharmonic, frequently works with large sonic structures that reveal the presence of a vast variety of sustained sound materials, reflecting her sense of imaginative listening to landscape and nature. Her music portrays a flowing world of sounds with an enigmatic lyrical atmosphere. Sigurdur Gudjonsson’s dark and moody videos could as easily be classified as music. He exploits the potential of time-cased media to produce pieces that rhythmically engage the viewer in a synaesthetic experience, linking vision and hearing in ways that seem to extend one’s perceptual field and produce sensations never felt before. April 17 (Mon) | 2pm to 4pm At this session, fellows of The Modern Academy and resident guest artists will share their artistic practices and experiences of collaboration through the presentation means of their choice. Listed artists in alphabetical order: Aki Asgeirsson (IS)
