Artist Hugo Llanes gives a guided tour of the D54 exhibition Bonita in gallery-D in Hafnarhús on Thursday, March 26 at 8.00 PM.
Hugo Llanes (b. 1990) is the 54th artist to exhibit in Gallery D, a space dedicated to artists whose practice has had a formative influence on the Icelandic visual arts scene and who are invited to present their first solo exhibition in a public museum.
In this exhibition Llanes examines the intricate and often contradictory experience of cultural adaptation as an immigrant. Engaging with foundational elements of both Icelandic and Mexican/Latino culture: language, food, art history, and music, he investigates how cultural exchanges take shape, which parallels are in place and what it means to belong.
Originally from Mexico, Llanes now lives and works in Reykjavík. He holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts and a BA in Visual Arts from Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico. He has been an active participant in initiatives that advocate for the inclusion of minority communities, including Komd’inn, Artists in Iceland Action Visa Group, and Get Together (GETA).
The tour will be in english.
