OPEN Grandagarður 27, Reykjavík, Iceland

The piece PUTI is a social choreography that reflects hyperreality, racial roles and hierarchy by referencing an 8-hour workday. Unreliable narrators at best, our voices speak of diaspora-of people experiencing constant displacement, renovation and salvaging heritage in the face of cultural loss. With an unapologetically unabashed honesty and vulnerability, the collective addresses issues, but not …

Platform GÁTT: We Can Talk

Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum Hamraborg 4, Kópavogur, Iceland

We share a lot, but not everything. We also see that these ideas are constructed - by us. Young Nordic artists exhibit works created in our ever-changing reality. Started …

Melanie Ubaldo: Almost Perfect

Þula Hjartartorg, Laugavegur 21, Reykjavík, Iceland

Melanie Ubaldo: Completely Tasteless

Listasafnið á Akureyri Kaupvangsstræti 8-12, Akureyri, Iceland

How does one commemorate appalling acts without turning it into a spectacle? For my master’s solo exhibition, in early 2022, I spray-painted the words „Farðu til fjandans helvítis útlendinga skíturinn þinn“ (Go to hell you fucking foreign shit) on the gallery windows in Breiðholt, and all hell broke loose. This solo exhibition is inspired by the …
