Egill Saebj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s work focuses on experimentation with sound and music, whereby he also makes frequent use of illustrations, photography and performance. He often combines a number of artistic media in order to arrive at his calculated effect in the wide sphere between the art world and the music business.
\nThis is also true of Egill Saebj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s new installation at K\u00fcnstlerhaus Bethanien, which combines such diverse elements as a cardboard dummy piano, a singing bush and concrete rock music. Saebj\u00f6rnsson – whose videos have already appeared on MTV and VIVA – brought out the much-acclaimed album \u201cTonk of the Lawn\u201d four years ago and landed his first Icelandic hit with the song \u201cI love you so\u201d. His work repeatedly extends into the music industry with its production forms and, vice versa, it infiltrates products of the pop industry into art. At our open studios event on 21st January 2005, Egill Saebj\u00f6rnsson will be giving a live concert together with Helgi Svavar Helgason (drums), David Jonsson (keyboard) and the Berlin artist and musician Frank Frede (bass).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-12855","kb_exhibition","type-kb_exhibition","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":16105,"article_image_bu_de":"","article_image_bu_en":"","datum_suche":"2014-07-15 11:24:34"},"yoast_head":"\n
