Rúrí (born 1951) is an Icelandic Contemporary Artist who works in new media, photography, sculpture, and installation. Her work is based in conceptual and minimal art, as well as Fluxus[1], and explores themes of nature, environment, relativity, time, identity, and the cosmos. Many of her works explore environmental issues in Iceland.[2] She is one of the first performance artists in Scandinavia[3]. She is an internationally-exhibiting artist and currently lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland.[4]
Biography
Rúrí attended the Icelandic College of Arts from 1971 - 1974 (Experimental Department) and Technical College, Reykjavík (Metal Construction) from 1974-1975. She later studied new media at De Vrije Academie Psychopolis in The Hague, Netherlands (1976-1978).[5]
She was part of an early experimental group of artists in Iceland appearing after the SÚM group (1965). She began making experimental works in a conservative Icelandic art scene in the 1970s, some of which, such as Golden Car (1974), received "strong public criticism."[6] She is one of the original artists who founded the Experimental Environment movement, with its first exhibition hosting the works of 45 artists in Reykjavík in 1980.[5]
Rúrí participated in the Venice Biennale in 2003.[7]
