SUMMARY:Sigga Björg & Ásmundur Sveinsson: Breath on a Window
DESCRIPTION:The world of trolls\, elves\, ghosts and other creatures opens up in the exhibition Ghost at the window. Reykjavík Art Museum continues to present new works by contemporary artist in Ásmundarsafn\, where they meet in dialogue with  Ásmund Sveinsson’s visual world and his unique house in Laugardalur. \nNow the focus is on legends\, fairy tales and imagination. \nSigga Björg is known for her imaginative drawings\, installations\, videos and books. She has created a unique visual world where fantasy\, humor and horror go hand in hand. In her works\, she threads the emotional life in all its chaos and creates moods that are almost impossible to put into words\, but with her characteristic style she manages to express the most incredible nuances. At this exhibition\, she works\, among other things\, on a new series based on Icelandic folk tales. In Sigga Björg´s drawings she mixes splashes and randomness with fine precision and patterns. Her works are created equally on the walls of showrooms and on paper. \nÁsmundur Sveinsson shaped his imagery in sculpture that spanned everything from a figurative method to an abstract one. He worked in line with the direction and trends of the modernist development of the 20th century and always worked with material and form. He initially drew inspiration and imagery from the local environment\, human life\, cultural heritage and nature\, but later the subjects became more abstract and entered the realm of natural laws and cosmic dimensions. He said that in his youth\, when he was growing up on a farm in the Valleys\, he had come across folk tales and legends. Much of it found its way directly or indirectly into his work. Ásmundur once recalled a memory of a verse that was sung when children were being put to sleep on the farm: \nKeep still\, keep quiet \nWoe lurks in the shadow \nI‘ve heard through the night \nA breath on a window.

SUMMARY:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract geometry was a product of experimental and progressive ideas on the nature and potential of art. The movement came like a meteor into Icelandic cultural life at the beginning of the 1950s and propelled a radical shift in the nation’s art history. The movement was a response to the prevailing aesthetics\, seeking to find new modes of creativity and expression. Geometry was not an isolated art movement\, but a new attitude\, interpretation and expression\, in which the painting was no longer contained by the frame\, the fusion of art forms was possible and the city became the setting for cultural change. \nThe artists presented are Ásgerður Búadóttir\, Ásmundur Sveinsson\, Benedikt Gunnarsson\, Eiríkur Smith\, Eyborg Guðmundsdóttir\, Gerður Helgadóttir\, Guðmunda Andrésdóttir\, Guðmundur Benediktsson\, Hafsteinn Austmann\, Hjörleifur Sigurðsson\, Hörður Ágústsson\, Karl Kvaran\, Kjartan Guðjónsson\, Kristín Jónsdóttir frá Munkaþverá\, Málfríður Konráðsdóttir\, Nína Tryggvadóttir\, Skarphéðinn Haraldsson\, Svavar Guðnason\, Sverrir Haraldsson\, Vala Enard Hafstað\, Valtýr Pétursson & Þorvaldur Skúlason. \nCurators: Brynja Sveinsdóttir & Cecilie Gaihede.\nExhibition design: Hreinn Bernharðsson & Studio Studio.

SUMMARY:Unndór Egill Jónsson and Ásmundur Sveinsson: After the Blizzard
DESCRIPTION:Unndór Egill Jónsson exhibits his work in a conversation with the work of Ásmundur Sveinsson. Sculptors from different periods meet in dialogue that offers a new insight into Ásmundur’s heritage and introduces new works by a contemporary artist to the viewers. The museum has been working with Ásmund’s legacy in this way for some time now. \nUnndór Egill Jónsson (1978) graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the art department of the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2008 and completed an MFA from the Valand School of Art in Gothenburg in 2011. In recent years\, he has exhibited both in Iceland and abroad\, including a group exhibition Momentum Design in Moss in Norway in 2010\, Riki\, flora\, fána\, fabula in the Reykjavík Art Museum in 2016\, in the Estonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Tallinn\, Estonia in 2018 and in Abrakadabra in the Reykjavík Art Museum in 2021.

SUMMARY:Ásmundur Sveinsson and Rósa Gísladóttir
DESCRIPTION:Rósa Gísladóttir exhibits her work in a conversation with the work of Ásmundur Sveinsson. Sculptors from different periods meet in dialogue that offers a new insight into Ásmundur’s heritage and introduces new works by a contemporary artist to the viewers. \nIn her career\, Rósa has worked with various materials but she is best known for plaster sculptures which have taken on different shapes and sizes throughout her career. She often works with artistic references to architecture and cultural history and will utilise Ásmundarsafn\, the museum building itself\, as a sculpture. Ásmundur built “The Dome Building” at Sigtún in a few stages between 1942 and 1959. It was his home and his studio\, and here the studio atmosphere from both Ásmundur and Rósa will meet and become visible. \nRósa Gísladóttir (b. 1957) studied art in Germany\, England and Iceland. Her work has been exhibited widely in Iceland and abroad\, including in Scandinavia House in New York\, Saatchi Gallery in London\, Reykjavík Art Museum\, Hafnarborg Centre of Culture and Fine Art\, LÁ Art Museum and Berg Contemporary. In 2020\, Rósa became the first recipient of the Gerður Award\, given to an outstanding sculptor. \nÁsmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982) was among the pioneers of Icelandic sculpture and one of the artists who introduced new art ideas to Icelanders in the 20th century. Ásmundur was inspired by Icelandic folktales and myths\, but he also drew a lot from the society and technological advances of his time.

SUMMARY:Ásmundur Sveinsson og Rósa Gísladóttir
DESCRIPTION:Rósa Gísladóttir sýnir verk sín í samtali við verk Ásmundar Sveinssonar. Myndhöggvarar tveggja tíma mætast í samtali sem veitir nýja sýn á arfleifð Ásmundar ásamt því að kynna fyrir gestum ný verk starfandi listamanns. \nRósa hefur á ferli sínum fengist við ýmsan efnivið en hún er þekktust fyrir gifsskúlptúra sem hafa tekið á sig ólík form og stærðir í gegnum tíðina. Í verkum sínum vinnur Rósa gjarnan með listrænar tilvísanir í arkitektúr og menningarsöguna og mun vinna með Ásmundarsafn sjálft sem skúlptúr. Ásmundur reisti „kúluhúsið“ við Sigtún í nokkrum áföngum á árunum 1942-59. Hann hafði þar heimili og vinnustofu og mun vinnustofustemmning þeirra beggja\, Ásmundar og Rósu\, mætast og vera gerð sýnileg. \nRósa Gísladóttir (f. 1957) nam myndlist í Þýskalandi\, Bretlandi og á Íslandi. Verk hennar hafa verið sýnd víða hérlendis og erlendis\, þar á meðal í Scandinavia House í New York\, Saatchi Gallery í London\, Listasafni Reykjavíkur\, Hafnarborg\, Listasafni Árnesinga og Berg Contemporary. Árið 2020 var Rósa fyrsti handhafi Gerðarverðlaunanna sem eru veitt framúrskarandi myndlistarmanni sem vinnur í skúlptúr og rýmisverk. \nÁsmundur Sveinsson (1893–1982) var á meðal frumkvöðla íslenskrar höggmyndalistar og einn þeirra sem kynntu fyrir Íslendingum nýjar hugmyndir í myndlist 20. aldar. Ásmundur sótti innblástur í íslenskar sagnir og þjóðtrú en samfélagið og tækniframfarir 20. aldar voru honum einnig ríkuleg uppspretta hugmynda. Verk Ásmundar eru á opinberum stöðum víða um land og setja svip sinn á Reykjavík. Hann hélt alla tíð tryggð við þá afstöðu að listin ætti erindi til fólksins og ætti heima á meðal þess. Ásmundur ánafnaði Reykjavíkurborg verk sín ásamt heimili sínu eftir sinn dag. Ásmundarsafn við Sigtún var opnað formlega vorið 1983 og þar hafa verið settar upp fjölbreyttar sýningar. \nSýningarstjórar: \n\nAldís Snorradóttir\nEdda Halldórsdóttir

SUMMARY:Sirra Sigrún Sigurðardóttir & Ásmundur Sveinsson: As If to Demonstrate an Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Reykjavík Art Museum – Ásmundarsafn newly reopens with Sirra Sigrún Sigurðardóttir’s exhibition of work in dialogue with Ásmundur Sveinsson and the building itself. Sirra’s works are cosmical\, often connected to speculations about our position within the inner workings of nature\, physics and the forces that drive the world. Her works often call upon our position as individuals\, our significance and insignificance\, and where the small is placed in the context of the large. Meaning is transformed from one phenomenon to another; a new perception\, new vision. Many of Ásmundur’s works connect to his curiosity in the movement and law of the celestial bodies. In particular\, this appears in abstract works from the sixties and seventies\, that also relate to the general interest in man’s exploration in space at that time. Among works in the exhibition is the well-known Face of the Sun\, an ode to the sun\, our prerequisite for life on earth. This and other works by Ásmundur harmonise deeply in Sirra’s installation. \nUnlike art\, scientific information and data is presented in a reliable\, unequivocal\, and easily understood manner with trustworthy forms such as diagrams\, thermographs\, mathematical models and pie charts\, to name a few. These methods tell us something concrete and definite about our world and human’s position therein. Sirra has repeatedly used the appearance and the gist of these forms in her art. However\, the presentation casts a new light on the information\, and on the disambiguation of information in general\, and creates a distance of sorts. Scientific measuring devices are elevated\, but at the same time\, also questioned. A spin of the artist’s test tube often reveals a different and wider viewpoint\, with more reference and awareness of how impossible it is to communicate anything unambiguously. And the illogical explanations found in art become less unreliable than they appear. \nThe country’s position on the globe causes exaggerated fluctuations in the movements of the sun; the winter sun appears low in the sky for only a few hours\, but the summer sun rises high for most of the solar day. In her exhibition in Ásmundarsafn\, Sirra uses Ásmundur’s largest sculpture\, the building itself\, and reflected sunrays\, to create a massive drawing in the form of an abstract sundial. Ásmundur made various attempts to interpret the laws of nature through the shapes\, lines and materials of his sculptures. Scientific discoveries inspired him to develop new imagery. Sirra’s new work form a dialogue with selected works by Ásmundur and his world of ideas. They nod to his sincere interest in technology and science\, and to his sensitivity to different materials and various approaches\, reflected in the fearlessness with which he changed his style and methods throughout his career. \nSirra Sigrún Sigurðardóttir graduated with a BA from Iceland University of the Arts in 2001\, and an MA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2013. She has held solo exhibitions at Reykjavík Art Museum\, The Living Art Museum Reykjavík\, Hafnarborg Culture Centre\, and Kling & Bang\, among other locations\, and has participated in group exhibitions and projects around the world\, including Chinese European Art Center in Xiamen\, China\, Amos Andersons Konstmuseum in Helsinki\, Finland\, and at Tate Modern and Frieze Projects in London\, England. \nSirra is one of the founders of Kling & Bang in Reykjavík. In 2015 Sirra received the Guðmunda Award\, established by the artist Erró in 1997. Sirra was nominated for the Visual Arts Award in 2020 and has been awarded grants and recognitions from various art funds including Dungal\, Leifur Eiríksson\, Svavar Guðnason\, and Guðmunda Andrésdóttir. In 2015\, Sirra was among 24 international artists selected by Modern Painters magazine as worth following in the years to come. \nÁsmundur Sveinson (1893-1982) was a pioneer in Icelandic art. He studied classical sculpture and worked in traditional subjects at the beginning. His subjects were related to the local environment\, working classes\, legends and sagas. In the sixties he deviated from the figurative methods that previously characterized his artistic creation and increasingly began to use abstract imagery. His subjects became more intangible and connected to natural phenomena\, laws and physics. Unconventional material became prominent in his works and often overtook the outcome of individual works; at the same time\, he adopted freer methods by working directly with the material. Ásmundur built his studio and home\, the Dome\, in several stages during the years 1942-59. \nThe exhibition As If to Demonstrate an Eclipse is the first of two exhibitions opening in Ásmundarsafn in 2021. An exhibition with new works by Carl Boutard and Ásmundur’s historic works will open in the autumn. With these exhibitions\, Ásmundarsafn opens after its greatest renovation since opening to the public in 1986. Visitors gain a new perspective on the legacy of the well-known and beloved artist through the lens of two contemporary artists and in the beautiful surroundings that Ásmundarsafn and the park shape.
