Ragnar Kjartansson
(b.1976) Performance, video, drawing. There is no clear border dividing life from art in his actions. He embodies new roles in his performances, making use of such stagy means of expression as singing and playing musical instruments. At the same time, he bestows the visage of a romantic hero on himself. Physical involvement verging on the limits of endurance is a characteristic of his actions. There are no temporal limitations to his performances, which last up to several months, or have open structures.
