Sýningin Brot úr línu opnar í Verksmiðjunni á Hjalteyri í Nóvember. Á sýningunni eru vídeóverk eftir fjóra unga listamenn; Þorgerði Þórhallsdóttir, Bjarna Þór Pétursson, Hlyn Pálmason og Þorbjörgu Jónsdóttir. Listamennirnir eiga það sammerkt að taka sér stöðu á mörkum kvikmyndarinnar og vídeó miðilsins í verkum sínum. Þau sækja áhrif og úrlausnir í báðar þessar greinar og úr verður nýr og spennandi frásagnarmáti, sem einkennist af sterkri fagurfræði, leik með tæknilegar eigindir miðilsins og með sýningarrýmið í framsetningu verkanna. Verksmiðjan aflvæðist á ný, með ljósi og hljóði og rými verkanna hverfist saman við rými sýningarstaðarins. Í Brot úr línu er hráefnið ljós. Ljósið er ekki aðeins miðill fyrir myndina sem það ber á flötinn, heldur hráefni í sjálfu sér. Það er hráefni í sama skilningi og vísanir, minni, hugmyndir og harður diskur. Hrátt rými verksmiðjunnar er ílát fyrir þetta efni, það geymir það vel, sérstaklega svona innrammað í nóvembermyrkrið. Rými verkanna verður líkamlegt og birtan áþreifanleg. Hér renna saman vísanir í söguna, villur eyðimerkurinnar og leikur barnsins. 

Fragment of a Line opens in November at Verksmiðjan. The four emerging artists taking part; Þorgerður Þórhallsdóttir, Bjarni Þór Pétursson, Hlynur Pálmason and Þorbjörg Jónsdóttir, all take up residency at the intersection of film and video in their works. They work with influences and solutions from these different mediums in works characterized by a strong sense of narration, personal aesthetics, and playful engagement with the properties of the medium. The exhibition space is integrated into the works, the factory re-vitalised, through light, sound and the conglomeration of the inner space of the works and the actual space of the exhibition. Light is the material in this Fragment of a line. Light, not only as the medium that carries the image to the surface, but as material in the same way as references, memories, ideas, and hard discs are materials. The raw space of the factory is a container for this material, and a good one at that, further strengthened by the November darkness. The inner space of the works becomes bodily and the light material. This is a mixing of references to the past, being lost in the desert, and a child’s game.
