The artists participating in the group exhibition Spiritual Time Machine – Time and Space are a group of visual artists who studied together at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts between 1994 and 2000.

The exhibition reflects on ideas of a kind of return, perhaps even a longing for contact, for communication, and for creating with one’s hands. While the subject matters vary, concepts such as connection, empathy, and transformation arise when looking back to the time the group shared during their studies.

​

The works explore relationships between people, nature, and systems of power, both in the immediate environment and in a broader context. They examine communication and the formation of connections, address the relationship between humans and nature, dreams, natural science, the influence and agency of color, form, formalism, reflections, and dystopian worlds, among other themes. The ideas are developed through diverse approaches and across different media.

​

By presenting works in which materiality and craftsmanship act as formative forces, an engaging dialogue emerges, both between the works themselves and with the raw space of Hlöðuloftið.
