Curver is going west in Iceland and will have an exhibition or installation in this lighthouse in the month of May. The exhibition will though be for the duration of the summer. Here is more information:

“Curver Thoroddsen has reflected his own everyday life in reality performances with the help of the media.

Typical examples of his previous works are projects in which he moved into a new apartment, ate hamburgers every day or went on a diet. The real world, as it appears to most of us, acquires new meaning when transformed to the realm of art and media. Furthermore, Curver has painstakingly manipulated his own identity, asshown by his decision to eliminate his given name and adopt instead the brand name of the international plastic manufacturer “Curver”.

He will exhibit on the westernmost point of Europe, the cliffs of Bjargtangar by Látrabjarg in the West Fjords. Born in 1976, Curver will complete his postgraduate studies in SVA in New York this spring. He has been active on the music scene, in recent years as one of the possessive duo, “Ghostigital”. ” As we did not know! :)
