MANIFESTO 11: a comedy of errors

Opening tomorrow, the 20th of April, at the Lighthouse in Glasgow. We wrote together blindly a manifesto, a set of rules. Then we made art accordingly, or perhaps not?

ARCHIVOzine

I am featured in the the spring issue of Archivo in great company. Joachim Schmid and my former teacher at CCA in San Francisco, Abner Nolan, among others. The theme of the issue is ‘found photography’ and as it is a Portuguese publication it is in both English and Portuguese.

Dad’s drawings

While moving the other day I came across these drawings my dad, Hallgrímur Helgason, made for me when I was just a few years old. He was living in the US, first Boston and then New York and this was his way of communicating. Both of them are of me I guess, one with my dear Little Ponies.

Töfraflautan & Thierry (Mugler)

Þetta er mögulega skiljanlegast þeim sem hafa séð nýjustu uppfærslu Íslensku Óperunnar á Töfraflautunni. Því myndirnar hér að neðan frá sýningunni eru vægast sagt óskýrar auk þess sem búningurinn er ókláraður þegar ruv.is tók upp þetta myndskeið. Merkilegt nokk er ekki að finna neinar betri myndir á Netinu af þessu ákveðna dressi. Fullkláraður búningur skartaði pallíettu-„fjöðrum“ í grænu og bláu yst en rauðu á bringunni auk hárlokka á ermum.

Búningur Næturdrottningarinnar, hönnuður er Filippía Elísdóttir.

Kjóll úr haute couture (hátísku-) línu Thierry Mugler frá 1997.

The Ultimate Edit

Here is the edit of the images I made in Latvia, when I visited that beautiful country a couple of weeks ago to attend a photography workshop.
An yes, there is only one. Sometimes you don’t need more, sometimes there just aren’t more.
