CV Nadja Voorham
Nadja Voorham (b.1988, SE/NL) lives and works in Amsterdam (NL).
Nadja is an interdisciplinary artist concerned with intimacy and central to her work are the power dynamics of attempts to hide desire, shame and failure. In this context she explores the modes of performance that arise from the real, imagined or feared presence of others. She works across performance, moving image, text and sculpture, using elements from socio–corporeal cultures such as sports and BDSM. The work is an invitation to notice the moment desires and hidden narratives leak into exposure.

Let´s talk! interview with artist Paul Kindersley
Exhibiting now at Kunstschlager artist run space is the british artist Paul Kindersley.
Visual Reykjavík met up with the artist and got a little insight into his works.
Looking at the exhibition it´s obvious you have been producing the artworks in Iceland, you can see the gallery space, the street outside and even the landscape.
They asked me to come here and put up an exhibition so I made all the work, new specially for the gallery so i have this storyline and all these characters. I´ve been here five days and I like to have the initial idea and instantly try and make it. It´s like instant sketching or drawing and I use the video in the same way sometimes I don't even know what i´m doing but i know the color. I started with three primary colors.
There's a lot of performance in your work, do you work a lot with performance
I don't really know what to call lots of my works, even if it´s a live performance i sometimes prefer it to be a sculpture and call it a sculpture. I like for people to be able to look at a performance for just a minute or maybe for hours, you don't need to watch it from start to finish, which is the same with any artwork really. Sometime there's a pressure on the audience, they have to stay the whole thing.
I think it comes from this internet thing, you can skip through things, fast forward.
I´m interested in films and the cinema, to make a film you need like thousand people, all this complicated things. I can't possibly do it and I do everything myself, it sort of like one person webcamera aiming to a big budget Hollywood movie.
When I start I have like this complicated story that would have been really hard to visual but as I start the characters it gets simpler. There is like this sort of epic story that becomes these individual characters that are shouting out for attentions.
All the youtube videos you make, either on purpose or accident are in your personal environment, you film in your bedroom or whatever so when I came here I immediately thought so this is my new house, so it needs to fit in the storyline, this is the temple now. You find the same things in the video to be in the installation.
You have your work online and you have a lot of you videos on youtube.
I like the lack of hirachi, also the same with my reference points for my work, i don't think there's a certain area where you can't use that in an artwork, well you can. and because so much of the references are coming from films but also form youtube videos and it´s nice to return it to the same area where it came from. People come there on purpose to watch certain things but i like the idea that you might be looking at something on youtube and the suggestion would be a video of mine and you click on it and you're like why the hell was that made or why am I here.
So speaking of youtube and all that, find Paul Kindersley here: http://www.paulkindersley.co.uk/
#TheBritishAreCumming runs until July 19th at Kunstschlager gallery.

Sawn by Sindri Leifsson at Kunstschlager
The exhibition Sawn is simultaneously an installation, sculptures and a performance but first and foremost a result of the artist’s presence in the space during the preceding week. It is in fact a process that awaits to become something that was not decided beforehand – it is a piece in a constant production or so the text accompanying the exhibition says and it does apply.
Looking at the exhibition you are well aware of the process and the production, the performance is a part of the show with out you seeing it.
Sawn is to be seen through out this week, it runs until Saturday 15th so hurry up and catch it!
