For #flashbackfriday<\/a> this week we are looking at another of our favourite JCG \/ Perth Festival collaborations, the 2015 exhibition \u201cRagnar Kjartansson: The Visitors \/ The Man\u201d.<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Since representing Iceland at the Venice Biennale back in 2009, Kjartansson has established an international reputation as a triple threat \u2013 musician, performer & visual artist.
\nJCG presented his elegiac video installation \u201cThe Visitors\u201d, a profoundly immersive 9 channel video work featuring a gathering of the artist\u2019s friends and musicians in the grandiose and decaying 200 year-old Rokeby Farm in Upstate New York. Together they composed an ode to femininity & each musician\u2019s performance was discretely captured in separate rooms, connected via headphones. \u201cThe Visitors\u201d was presented in tandem with Kjartansson\u2019s cinematic video installation \u201cThe Man\u201d \u2013 the beguiling portrait of 96 year-old legendary blues musician Pinetop Perkins.<\/p>\n
