Harpa Björnsdóttir - Pleacer
Harpa will lead a tour and discussion her exhibition Pleacer. The work of Harpa Björnsdóttir (b. 1955) deals in one way or another with the role and place of the artist, the message he brings to his environment and the cultural world of ideas and symbols which artists often refer to. Harpa has taken part in several group exhibition and solo exhibitions. In the piece Pleaser from 2007, the artist uses herself as subject. She approaches the idea of the artist as a bringer of joy with childlike humour by bringing together a human being and a bird, both sing to their hearts´ content and bear fruit in the minds of human beings.
