Hale-Bopp
1997
Undir pari, Reykjavik
In
the first garment-work “Hale-Bopp”, which took
place in the gallery Undir Pari in April 1997 the guests
were invited to try on clothes (with the routes of the comets
Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake and drawings of spirals printed
on them) in the gallery. Actually, this was a happening
where the artist marked the way but the guests did the rest.
The happening was documented on video like the other two
later.
The text is an translation of a review on Radhildur Ingadottir’s
artworks in the cultural magazine Skirnir, spring 1999
It was written by the art historian Audur Olafsdottir.
