‘uns
´uns emphasises on publication of artist made books. It’s primary role is to lay a foundation for artists to produce artwork within the frame of the publication and the printed form. Throughout the years ‘uns has extended its activities to curate shows and explore the exhibition format, as ´uns project space.
´uns has been organizing a series of exhibitions at its former ´uns gallery in Berlin, at Gletta exhibition space (Iceland), in Harbinger gallery (Reykjavik) and soon in UmBúkk, a new artspace in Marshall-house Reykjavik.

ORO:ORÐ began with a conversation between Erin Honeycutt and the Basque composer, Alex Mendizabal about the existence of an Icelandic-Basque Pidgin language that was formed when Basque sailors arrived in Iceland in the early 17th century.
"We decided to update the pidgin in the form of a libretto in which the 12 Acts each correspond to a painting from the year 1616. The Icelandic-Basque poems are ekphrastic, describing each painting, but the paintings are not shown in their original. Each painting has been transformed by AI into a line drawing".
ORO:ORÐ was screened at the Cybernetics of the Poor festival at Tabakalera in 2020 with an accompanying video by @scavengerfaun
