SUMMARY:Paid parking art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Paid Parking\n\n\n\nExhibition by Kate Robinson & Heidi Zenisek \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 10-14\, 2026\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, Feb 13th | 6-8P\n\n\n\nMore About Paid Parking  \n\n\n\nRun\, don’t walk\, to Iceland’s hottest new attraction. If you’ve never been to Gjaldskylda\, you’re missing out! At least that’s what the hundreds of tourists tagging it on social media would like you to think. What is it\, you ask? A parking lot. More specifically\, it’s a parking lot that requires payment. Iceland has a specific online identity\, carefully crafted by the Icelandic Tourism Board. The Land of Fire and Ice\, renewable energy\, Northern lights\, geothermal spas… but as a trip to Gjaldskylda will illustrate\, social media can be deceiving.  \n\n\n\nWhat is Iceland beyond the oversaturated Instagram photos of waterfalls and TikTok drone footage of mountains? This exhibition is a collection of works that inadvertently explore this question. Heidi and Kate have had transformative experiences in Iceland over the years\, returning time after time to recharge their creative batteries and weave themselves into the culture. Upon return home\, moments of these trips find their way into their practices. This show is the result of their curiosity about the overlaps in their work inspired by Iceland and how their similar experiences have manifested in different ways. \n\n\n\nMore About Kate & Heidi  \n\n\n\nHeidi is an exaggerator of the sun and was raised by the moon. Surrounded by dirt\, corn\, cows\, and rust\, she was born in a barn to humble farmers. Soon after\, she became an Eastern Iowa 4-H child prodigy\, winning more ribbons than one can count. With those glory days well behind her\, she now spends her time making work that doesn’t necessarily depict the land\, but is of the land.  \n\n\n\nHaving witnessed firsthand the whimsy and brutality of nature\, her farmstead childhood has uniquely shaped the lens through which she views the world. Time is measured by the color of the fields and when babies are born. Vast expanses of crops are raised\, harvested\, and migrated. Large quantities of material are vigorously used for months\, then discarded or replaced\, and certain animals are only as valuable as their ability to procreate. Though her work often shifts in form\, material\, and concept\, those experiences will always underlie her practice. Heidi’s rural upbringing has taught her the difference between looking and seeing\, hearing and listening.  \n\n\n\nIt defined her understanding of good and bad \n\n\n\nCollapsed the distance between life and death \n\n\n\nThen showed her how to explore what lies in between. \n\n\n\nWith the rise of social media and AI\, Heidi has become interested in how we interact with what’s real. Throughout history\, from cave paintings to cathedrals\, from Monet to Ansel to Olafur\, humans have sought to capture and recreate nature. Before smartphones\, we made film slideshows\, traded shot glasses painted with palm trees\, drew sketches\, collected rocks\, pressed flowers\, and wrote songs.  Today\, we extend that impulse into the digital realm\, archiving obsessively with phone cameras and uploading as a souvenir\, proof\, or memory.  \n\n\n\nHeidi’s work questions whether this pursuit of simulating the isness of nature and the phenomena of the cosmos can be achieved. The wonder of the aurora borealis\, the solitude of standing in an infinite field\, the shimmer of moonlight on the ocean that causes something in your chest to expand–they are reminders that awe is as much a physical experience as it is an emotional one. Can that be recreated?  \n\n\n\nLearn more about Heidi: heidizenisek.com / @theheidz_
