Transatlantic Cargo Flights Hauled Smoothly at Iceland’s Keflavik International Airport

July 16th, 2009 Jarrett No comments

keflavik airportLocated 50km from Reykjavik and acting as a bridge between Europe and America, Keflavik International Airport, provides a vital transport link for both passengers and freight. It offers a highly comfortable facility that can be reached by road from the capital city of Reykjavik in a time of 40 minutes. It has four runways of more than 3,000 metres capable of handling both modern long-haul aircraft and maximum sized cargo airplanes like the Antonov An-124. Due to Iceland’s geographical location astride North-Atlantic air routes, the airport is open 24 hours a day. The airport offers a rather large cargo area to attract huge cargo airplanes for landing or for stopover before flying to the east or to the west.

Iceland is only about 5 hours from the east coast of USA and 3 hours from middle of Europe. One of KEF’s strengths is the ease of making flight connections; travelers are really satisfied and happy when it comes to changing flights at the airport because it only takes just a few minutes to leave an airplane and board another.

Brief Encounter explores intensification of social exchanges

July 15th, 2009 Jarrett No comments

chairsBrief Encounter explores the intensification and acceleration of social exchanges and activities across world-time and space-time.

Hutchinson’s drawings and video work confront this situation by offering a crucible where heterogeneous forms of sociability are worked out through a dynamic network of forms – before, during and after production. Following the receding perspectives of history and geography, lines are traced in a globalized space that extends to time: history, the last continent to be explored, is traversed like a territory. The work references future events according to a system of cognitive logic, presented as a kind of fake archeological re-enactment – relics whose historical placing remains unclear.
