    Jónsi November 16, 2019 – January 9, 2020 Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with multidisciplinary artist Jónsi, on view at the gallery’s Los Angeles space from November 16, 2019 through January 9, 2020. What is the shape of sound? What does it feel like? Can we smell it? How does it move through your body and what kind of sensations does it trigger? These are the questions that are posed by Jónsi in his first exhibition at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in Los Angeles. Best known for producing distinctive musical sounds ranging from hypnotic ambient incantations to driving sonic waves as a member of the band Sigur Rós, Jónsi has expanded his artistic practice over the past few years in a series of collaborations with visual artists such as Doug Aitken, Olafur Eliasson, Merce Cunningham and most recently the artist and composer Carl Michael von Hausswolf with whom he formed the musical duo Dark Morph. In the wake of these collaborations, Jónsi’s most recent solo aesthetic explorations have resulted in a series of immersive installations that sculpt with sound as they ask us to meditate on the liminal threshold between our bodies and the world around us. In a series of three new gallery-based works, Jónsi riffs on the invocation of sensory inversion in Goethe’s fifth Roman Elegy in which the Romantic poet makes a connection between the experience of a lover’s body and a classical marble sculpture with the phrase, “see with a feeling eye, feel with a seeing hand.” In Jónsi’s remix, Goethe’s advice to experience the world in a different way is given a sonic update that might read as follows: “hear with a feeling ear, feel with a hearing hand.” Seeing, hearing, feeling – each of these senses collapse upon one another in Jónsi’s work as sound takes a concrete form and the tactile and the auditory merge into a surprising synesthesia.

    Revista Arte Críticas participantes // enlaces // contacto sobre arte críticas Agenda Búsqueda tipo de búsqueda música artículos // críticas // debates // entrevistas // todos artículos octubre La era del hielo 2016 por Patricio Durán Este año se cumplió una década de la edición mundial de Agætis Byrjun, la obra emblemática de Sigur Rós, una de las bandas que definieron el sonido post-rock. ‘Sigur Rós’ significa ‘rosa de la victoria’. No se molesten en buscar algún significado en particular, el nombre de la banda es el de la hermana menor del cantante y guitarrista Jónsi Birgisson, nacida el mismo día en que se formó el grupo. De hecho, es uno de los nombres femeninos más comunes en Islandia, la tierra de donde proviene el cuarteto que en este momento se está tomando un “descanso indefinido” mientras los integrantes se dedican a sus trabajos en solitario y a pasar más tiempo con sus familias. Sigur Rós se formó en 1994 en la capital islandesa, Reykjavik. Comenzó como un trío con Jónsi Birgisson junto a Georg Hólm (bajo) y Ágúst ISSN:1853-0427 Gunnarsson (batería). Con esta formación grabaron un primer disco, Von en 1997 (‘von’ significa ‘esperanza’). En su debut nos encontramos con un Sigur Rós extraño, distinto a lo que vendría después. Plagado de momentos ambient donde sólo se escuchan voces y sonidos metálicos y electrónicos, junto a composiciones más bien oscuras que proponen un clima tenebroso. Este primer trabajo revela la influencia del minimalismo en el grupo. A lo largo de varias canciones podemos notar la repetición de una pequeña idea con variaciones casi imperceptibles.

Using archival footage to tell the story, and accompanied by an originally composed and enigmatic score by American musician composer, musician and artist Alex Somers (Captain Fantastic), Dawson City: Frozen Time depicts a unique history of a Canadian gold rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation – and through that collection, how a First Nation hunting camp was transformed and displaced.

But when a tragedy strikes the family, they are forced to leave this self- created paradise and begin a journey into the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent and brings into question everything he's taught them. 2 LONG SYNOPSIS An unconventional family leaves its wilderness home and tries to adapt to the world outside the forests of the Pacific Northwest in Captain Fantastic, a humorous, challenging and ultimately moving drama from writer and director Matt Ross. Ben Cash (Viggo Mortensen) and his wife Leslie (Trin Miller) have created an off- the-grid paradise for their family. In a self-sufficient, handcrafted compound, Ben teaches his six children the skills they need to survive in the deep forest, as well as providing them with a rigorous physical and intellectual education. But when a family tragedy forces the Cashes to return to the outside world, Ben’s ideas of what it means to be a parent are challenged and he must confront the price his children are paying for his dream. Written and directed by Matt Ross (28 Hotel Rooms), Captain Fantastic stars Viggo
