Adam and I have been awarded an art residency at the Gunnar Gunnarsson Klaustri∂, located in Skriduklaustur, in the Fljotsdalur Valley, East Iceland. The residency takes place from June 20 through July 11, 2008. We will be continuing the About to Happen artwork series we began last year in Iceland and we will share our work with the community through lectures and exhibitions.

Méndez’s latest photographic work About to Happen, 2006, consists of still frames of her 16mm film shoot throughout Iceland. By isolating a single frame of an infinite repetition, Méndez images move beyond appearance and expose temporality in phenomena. In Dettifoss 001–003, Méndez captures an instant of Europe’s largest waterfall—500 cubic metres per second, and in Brekka 001–003, luscious tall green rye grass is forcefully blown by the wind.

About to Happen Series was exhibited at AndLabArt in Los Angeles, October, 2006.
