In the exhibition Reshaping Mineral Wool, Flétta and Kristín Sigurðardóttir give insight into their material research on mineral wool and on waste materials from its production in Iceland.
The exhibition Reshaping Mineral Wool provides insight into Flétta and Kristín Sigurðardóttir’s ongoing material research where the possibilities of recycling mineral wool and waste materials from its production are explored. The raw material created is black and gleaming similar to the obsidian which is a protected volcanic rock. Mineral wool is one of the few building materials produced in Iceland and it is mostly made out of minerals harvested locally near the factory in Northern Iceland.
