Unfortunately my time here at the SIM House residency at Hafnarstræti 16 in Reykjavik is nigh with only 2 more days to go. I thought I had better post a blog before I return to Australia.
It has been an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.
I have posted an instructional video for any future residents.
SÍM - The Associaton of Icelandic Visual Artists is an umbrella organisation of six different artist´s associations, as well as a large number of artists who are members on individual basis. The members of SIM are alltogether around 700. SÍM includes the majority of professional visual artists active in Iceland today. The main goal of SÍM is to defend the interests of visual artists and function as their trade union.
SIM runs nearly 100 studios for local artists and SIM-RES, an International Artist´s Residency program with 10 spaces for artists from abroad, as well as a guestroom apartment with 3 spaces.
