Ívar Glói's (b. 1992) works deal with the context of the art installation and the idea of the unique art object in an age marked by virtual connectedness. Using different media to project hints of different places into each exhibition space. The works play with the notion of the viewer being somewhere unique, however staged the setting of it may be. Ívar Glói has studied at the Iceland Academy of Arts, where he finished his BA in Fine Arts in 2014, Hochschule für bildende Künste (HFBK) in Hamburg and Konsthögskolan i Malmö.
