Í dag kl. 17 verður listamannaspjall og áhersla lögð á opið samtal milli gesta og fimm listamanna sýningarinnar Sambland / Combi-Nation ADAM FLINT TAYLOR JULIE SJÖFN GASIGLIA NATKA KLIMOWICZ PATTY SPYRAKOS VIKRAM PRADHAN Sambland / Combi–Nation fjallar um að rata í gegnum lífið – frá upphafsreit til endapunkts. Sýningin skoðar hversdagsleg augnablik sem hafa þann kraft að geta kollvarpað stefnu og tilveru þess sem lifir. Lista-menn sýningarinnar hafa ólíka bakgrunna og koma frá ólíkum stöðum en eiga það sameiginlegt að hafa ratað óvænt til Íslands, staðs sem er orðið að heimili þeirra. Öll hafa þau upplifað, á ólíkan máta, að rífa upp gamlar rætur á fyrri slóðum og rækta nýjar. Eins og planta í nýrri jörð sem rótar sig á ókunnugum slóðum, þarf hún að kljást við hindranir, sem getur reynst sárt og kalt. 🔀 Today at 5PM five artist from Sambland Combi-Nation will welcome you to join them for an artist talk and open forum. ADAM FLINT TAYLOR JULIE SJÖFN GASIGLIA NATKA KLIMOWICZ PATTY SPYRAKOS VIKRAM PRADHAN Sambland Combi-Nation is about navigating through life—from one end of existence to the other. It reflects on mundane moments that combine to bend the arc of one’s life in a direction fundamentally different from where it began. The exhibition centers on artists from different backgrounds and countries whose paths, by choice or circumstance, have led them to making Iceland their home. Each has experienced, in different ways, the act of uprooting themselves from the ground they grew from and planting themselves in entirely different soil. Like a transplanted plant recognizing the nutrients of new land, there is a desire to take root—but sometimes rooting into unfamiliar terrain can also mean encountering its roughness and coldness.

Laupäeval, 18. aprillil toimub Teo Ala-Ruona @teoalaruona residentuuri showing! Residentuuri ajal keskendus töögrupp eelkõige disainerite panusele valmivas lavastuses: Pola Sutryki abstraktsete, erinevaid organeid meenutavate želeeskulptuuride arendamisele ning Teo Ala-Ruona ja Mina Tomici karakteriloome edasiarendamisele tantsu kaudu. „Damnat“ on Teo Ala-Ruona ja tema töörühma loodud lavastus kahele esinejale ja kokale. Liikumisuuringute kaudu seab teos kahtluse alla meditsiinilised mõtteviisid, mis jagavad keha eraldi osadeks, keskendudes eriti aju-soole teljele. See uurib diagnostilist keelt kui süsteemi, mis korraldab kehafunktsioone ja kujundab sotsiaalset käitumist. Teose esietendus toimub 2027. aasta mais Pannuhallis, Dance House Helsinkis. Laval liitub Ala-Ruonaga tantsija/koreograaf Mina Tomic ja toidukunstnik Pola Sutryk. Dramaturg on Ami Karvonen, helikujundaja Tuukka Haapakorpi, valguskujundaja Sofia Palillo, kostüümi- ja ruumikujundaja Teo Paaer ning produtsent Sanna Ritvanen. Teo Ala-Ruona on Helsingis tegutsev interdistsiplinaarne kunstnik, kelle töö paikneb laiemalt etenduskunsti väljal koreograafia, kaasaegse teatri ja visuaalkunsti ristumiskohas. Tema praktika püüdleb kehastunud metafüüsilise transformatsioonini, mis muudab inimkeha häälestust, navigeerides keelelise, somaatilise ja sotsiaalse eksistentsi ristumispunktides. Residentuuri toetab Soome Kultuurifond. Showing on tasuta. Foto > Alana Proosa @alana_proosa ◦ ◦ ◦ Teo Ala-Ruona’s @teoalaruona residency showing will take place on Saturday, April 18th! During the residency, the working group concentrates particularly on the designers’ contributions to the upcoming production: on developing Pola Sutryk’s abstract jelly sculptures referencing various organs, and on fine-tuning Ala-Ruona’s and Tomic’s practice of character creation through dance.

Made this candy garden for @_sleikur_ and it was hot Apricot, cream and pomegranate lollipops on branches, that you had to harvest yourself using provided pruning clippers and split cherry lollipop on a string, for a little lady and tramp moment with a chosen partner 🥵 Seeing people figure it out and seeing the childlike sense of wonder on their faces as they got it was so awesome I love putting food in a club setting, invite me to your parties xx (Scroll for some process pics. Big thanks to Pelka for making many batches of lollipops with me, Ólöf and Hrabba for branches and installation help, Natka and Máni for getting the grass table their neighbour was getting rid of, Clare for candy thermometer, my babe Alex for systematically cleaning the house as I was covering it in new and new layers of sticky candy, Icelandic wind for knocking down this big branch used in the center, etc - because obviously nothing ever happens in a vacuum, and every project, no mater how big or small, has many human and non-human collaborators)

Frozen Milk 07. – 08.02.25🍴 @clareaim @hugollanes @pola.su ⛓️‍💥 asmundarsalur.is/frozen-milk

a tribute to pola. may the jelly always bounce in your favour

One of my all time favourite techniques - 𝓴𝓸𝓱𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓽𝓸𝓾 - traditional Japanese wagashi made for centuries and an asmr internet obsession. Made from agar and sugar, they are hand cut into jewel shapes and then air dried until sugar crystallise on the outside = crunchy outside and jelly inside. I’ve been making them for years and still get excited

once again @pola.su invited @bar__mir for another collaborative project - components for an edible river and leafy tablescape for 400 guests during @warsawgalleryweekend for @ingpolishartfoundation huge thanks for trusting us with this @pola.su 🫶 the credit goes as well to all the people involved in the process on the bar mir part: @estradaoplomo @b_steeel @mrcyska @justyna.suwala @jakub_tyroniezgodajmispokojpls @siostra.o.hydka @technopolka @lusya_galkina @oliwersenny 1 - edible river made by @pola.su from our herbed broad bean spread and natto stones/buns 🚣‍♂️ 2 - @pola.su posing with a tray of barley dolmas 3 - @nongajaj during performative service 💃🏼 4 - smoked pearl barley, mushrooms, beetroot leaves and pickled turnip dolmas 5 - leafy table with @sasha_ssscreep bread sculptures and @stachuszumski painting in the background 6 - part of @bar__mir team during prep 7 - @houseofizunia and @mrcyska vibing to chervil onigiris 🍙 8 - @lusya_galkina proud of her vegan tvarog 9 - @lusya_galkina agar jelly made with fennel fronds kombucha 10 - @pola.su plating natto pancake shashliks 11 - amazing platters made by @gabaszalanska and @pola.su 12 - cucumbers with vegan tvarog, chervil and beetroot powder 13 - @sasha_ssscreep bread sculpture 14 - edible river closeup 15 - @houseofizunia & @pola.su team doing prep 16 - chips with black lentils natto and horseradish cream 17 - broad bean spread/river 18 - river at a different angle 📷: @spicynutz
