Fanatics is a group exhibition opening this Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at The Arts Guild:
Artists are passionate people and their work is informed by the ideas, objects and experiences they value. Have you ever wondered about the deep dives your favourite Island artist takes on snow days when the power stays on? Are you curious about the collections they maintain, their hobbies, or the bands they can’t seem to get enough of? If so, you will not want to miss Fanatics!
I was commissioned by the organiziers to write an essay for the show. My brief was “a text in the range of 250 to 500 words that reflects on fanaticism in relation to artistic practice, obsession, devotion, or creative drive.” Copies will be available at the opening on Wednesday.
Bonus feature: Olivia has a piece in the exhibition.
