Gambri

‘Gambri II’ a three-day art festival and an exhibition held in Urban Spree, Berlin in 2019. Curated by Narfi Þorsteinsson.
My work there consisted of three linocut prints: a fox like figure sitting, laying down and floating.

In Icelandic, gambri is the word for the first stage of moonshine making. To make it you stir sugar, yeast and water in a barrel and allow it to ferment. After a week or so you can distill the gambri and get 93% proof alcohol called moonshine.
With this simple but effective method in mind we looked for the basic materials to make Gambri Art Festival. Artists, musicians and guests – all this was put in a big barrel called Urban Spree and left there over a week and a weekend to ferment. After it we got Gambri.
