Una Bj\u00f6rg Magn\u00fasd\u00f3ttir is an artist based in Reykjav\u00edk whose interdisciplinary practice takes on the form of installation, sculpture and images. Una plays a variety of tricks in her work to raise questions about beauty, values, and our existence, behaviour, and demeanour. To this end, she uses texture and value-laden materials in a subtle but spare way. Through precise arrangements of unassuming objects, the works create a certain fa\u00e7ade in which the circumstances seem simple and unsuspicious. Yet the works take on a tacit deceptiveness and teeter on elusive dividing lines between the real and the imitative to summon the viewer\u2019s keen attention. <\/p>\n
Una Bj\u00f6rg (b. 1990) studied visual art at Iceland University of the Arts and pursued graduate studies at \u00c9CAL in Switzerland, graduating from there in 2018. Her work has been shown at the Reykjavik Art Museum, the K\u00f3pavogur Art Museum, Y Gallery, KEIV in Athens, GES-2 in Moscow, the North Atlantic House in Copenhagen, and other venues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-35226","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":35222,"article_image_bu_de":"Una Bj\u00f6rg Magn\u00fasd\u00f3ttir, Treacherous silver sheen, AS\u00cd Art Museum (S\u00fa\u00f0av\u00edk Community Hall), exhibition view.
