The project SECRET GARDEN VER\u00c3\u0096ND was initiated in 2012 by visual artist Suzanna Asp in collaboration with Skaftfell, and starts off from the actual site of the house and garden at H\u00c3\u00b3ll in Sey\u00c3\u00b0isfj\u00c3\u00b6r\u00c3\u00b0ur. The project builds on queer feminist and post-colonial theory and asks questions about relationships between text, body and place. Who is given a place, where is place given and how can a place be altered.<\/p>\n

H\u00c3\u00b3ll, built in the early 20th century, is the former studio house of the Icelandic artist Birgir Andr\u00c3\u00a9sson and is now part of the Artist-in-residence program at Skaftfell – Center for Visual Art. Next to the house a site-specific permanent installation is constructed. The installation takes the form of an outdoor stage and creates an extension of the house next to the river. The stage will be used for public events, performances, readings, as well as for private contemplation and gardening.<\/p>\n

As part of the project the publication SECRET GARDEN VER\u00c3\u0096ND is published. The publication is an Artist’s Book edited by Suzanna Asp and it presents the project through text and photographs. The publication brings together poems and essays by artists and poets on the theme of text, body, and place.<\/p>\n
