Katrín Sigurdardóttir on representing Iceland at the Venice Biennale

Katrín Sigurdardóttir, representing Iceland at the Venice Biennale, discusses her project at Palazzo Zenobio Collegio Armeno Moorat. The work, almost complete, continues her exploration of place and memory, focusing on cultural rather than personal memory, akin to her 2010 Met pieces. She mines architectural discipline, creating an unorthodox use of history. Sigurdardóttir finds representing Iceland unproblematic, enjoying collaboration with Icelandic colleagues. She does not target a specific audience, believing viewers reflect themselves in the work. The piece will later travel to Reykjavík and New York. Her first Biennale memory is Francesco Bonami's 2003 exhibition. She looks forward to seeing friends' works and discovering new artists.
