Karina & Jóhanna 21.02.2014

Jóhanna Björk Sveinbjörnsdóttir, is the owner of Gallery Digital Frame.  After graduating from Art Theory and Philosophy from the University of Iceland I am now a graduate student in Visual and Media Anthropology at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, where I currently live. Through my studies I crossed her wall of prejudice towards smartphones, realising their creative potential as well as a medium for the common voice to reach out.

 

Karina Hanney Marrero is an art theorist, currently completing her Masters in Contemporary Art Theory at Goldsmiths College in London. For the last two years Karina has been working as a registrar at The Living Art Museum in Reykjavík. She is currently on the editorial board for the Living Art Museum’s archive publication concerning Artist Run Initiatives. Karina’s recent research has been focused on marginal histories within art history, and the anachronic approach as well as the performative possibility of the archive. She is based in London and Reykjavík, Iceland.

 

Ever since we first met during our first year at University, we have followed a similar path and worked closely together. A meeting in London called for a creative project.

The works title is 'Bishop's Avenue'. 

 

Inspired by an artivce in the Guardian, we went to exlplore Bishop's Avenue, one of the most expensive streets to live in London. Geared with our smartphones as a recording device, we encountered construction workers, limosines, barking dogs, barb-wire and a talkative security guard.

 

This is the galleries forth opening, but for practical reasons the frame will be replaced by smartphones this time. The one-night-only event will take place in Karina’s humble home in Brockley.
