About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!
Freya Björg Olafson is an interdisciplinary artist who works with video, audio, painting and performance. Her creations have been presented/exhibited nationally as well as internationally at festivals and galleries such as the Plug In Institute for Contemporary Art (Winnipeg), InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Center (Toronto), Winnipeg Art Gallery, Núna (now) Festival (Winnipeg, Toronto, Iceland), Groundswell New Music Series (Winnipeg), O.K. Centrum (Linz, Austria), Kling&Bang Galleri (Reykjavik,Iceland), Akureyravaka (Akureyri, Iceland) and Springboard Danse Montréal among others. Currently with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council, Freya is creating a new work called “Avatar”. This project has been developed in residency at Performing Arts Forum, in St.Erme-Outre-et-Ramecourt, France and at SIM – Icelandic Association for Visual Artists, in Reykjavik, Iceland. “Avatar” will premiere in Winnipeg in Fall 2009.

As performer and creator, Freya blends 6 years classical training in the Professional Program of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet with the contemporary facility achieved through her completion of the Bachelor of Arts Honors degree in dance jointly offered by the School of Contemporary Dancers and the University of Winnipeg. She combines her finesse in movement with the directness of her performance art, video and theory studies from the University of Manitoba School of Art and her subsequent completion of a Master of Fine Arts Degree in New Media from the Transart Institute / Donau Universitat in Krems, Austria (Graduated August 2007). During her studies Freya was the recipient of awards/scholarships for her abilities from The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Friends of The Transart Institute, Canada Iceland Foundation, University of Winnipeg Woman’s Auxiliary, The Imperial Order of Daughter’s of the Empire, and Springboard Danse Montreal among others. Most recently in 2008 she was nominated by Winnipeg’s School of Contemporary Dancers for The Winnipeg Arts Council Emerging Artist Award “On The Rise”.

As a performer Freya has worked for Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers, Trip Dance Company and Adhere & Deny Theatre Company in Canada. Outside of creating her own work and performing in the work of others Freya is actively involved in the community in curating and teaching. She is a member of the curatorial committee for the nuna (now) Festival and has traveled to Calgary, Iceland and Slovenia to facilitate work for the festival. In 2008 she curated a performance of “1401 IBM – A User’s Manual” a collaboration between dance artist Erna Omarsdottir and composer/musician Johann Johannsson. In 2009 she is working with Kegan McFadden director of Platform Gallery in Winnipeg to facilitate the presentation of the performance art collective Icelandic Love Corporation.
