Smiðjan er haldin í tengslum við sýningu Telmu Har, Glansmyndir sem nú stendur yfir í Ljósmyndasafni Reykjavíkur. Listamaðurinn leiðbeinir þátttakendum hvernig má gera skemmtilegar klippimyndir með ljósmyndum og ýmsu efni á fjölbreyttan hátt. Við hvetjum þátttakendur til að koma með eigin ljósmyndir (t.d sjálfsmyndir) til að nota í listaverkin, en einnig verður nóg af efniðvið á staðnum. Smiðjan hentar vel öllum aldurshópum og foreldrar hvattir til að taka þátt með börnunum. Allt efni verður á staðnum og aðgangur er ókeypis. Takmarkaður fjöldi kemst að í einu.
Sýningin Glansmyndir samanstendur af litríkum og hálf súrrealískum ljósmyndaverkum sem listamaðurinn Telma Har hefur sett saman á ólíkan hátt.
Í listsköpuninni fæst Telma við eigin sjálfsmynd sem mótast hefur af erfðum, uppeldi og umhverfinu. Í verkunum notar hún sjálfa sig sem hálfgerða „gínu“ til að túlka tilteknar hugmyndir, upplifun og reynslu og túlka þannig hugmyndina sjálfið og veruleikann sem það tilheyrir.
Telma notar ljósmyndavélina sem tæki til að skapa óraunverulegt og óhlutbundið myndefni, með það að markmiði að draga fram ólík form og samsetningu hlutana og velta þannig upp spurningum um norm og viðmið um fegurð, kyn og stöðu.
Aðgengi er gott á Ljósmyndasafninu. Hjálparhundar eru velkomnir í safnið.
Strætisvagnar: Næstu stoppistöðvar heita Hafnarhús, Lækjartorg, Ráðhúsið (2-5 mín. gangur).

The workshop is held in connection with Telma Har’s exhibition, Glam Pics, currently on display at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography. The artist will guide participants in creating fun and diverse collages using photographs and various materials. We encourage participants to bring their own photos (e.g., self-portraits) to incorporate into their artwork, but plenty of materials will also be available on-site.
The workshop suits all age groups, and parents are encouraged to participate with their children. All materials will be provided.
The exhibition Glam Pics consists of colourful and semi-surreal photos that the artist Telma Har has put together in many ways.
In her art, Telma deals with her own identity, which has been shaped by heredity, upbringing, and environment. In her work, she uses herself as a mannequin to portray certain ideas and experiences and thus interpret the idea of the self and the reality to which it belongs.
Telma uses the camera as a tool to create unreal and abstract footage, highlighting different forms and compositions of the parts included, thus raising questions about norms and standards of beauty, gender, and status.
Access for people with disabilities is good. Service dogs are welcome at the museum.
Public transport: The nearest bus stops are called Hafnarhús, Lækjartorg, Ráðhúsið (2–5 min. away).
Parking places are available by the museum and in neighbouring parking houses in Vesturgata 7 and Hafnartorg.

We welcome children and their families to a collage workshop with Telma Har on Sunday, April 6. Participation is free.
