SUMMARY:Resistance\, Interplay of art and physics
DESCRIPTION:Resistance is an interdisciplinary exhibition that bridges the gap between visual arts and science. The works on display are key works in the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland\, that establish an interesting dialogue between art and science and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe word Resistance may be read in the context of physics: the measure of a conductive material’s opposition to current flow. Resistance can also signify opposition to consumption\, which responsible citizens must learn to take onboard. In addition\, Resistance also references essential action against climate change and global warming. The arts offer people an opportunity to be influenced\, as art can touch the emotions. Works of art can raise issues which urge the observer to ask him/herself urgent questions. An artistic approach can alter the way people experience the world around them. And artists work with such factors as taste\, perception\, emotion\, conviction\, values and identity\, that are important for a society in the process of formation. Art can also invigorate the human mind\, and show the observer a diversity of viewpoints\, leading them to re-examine their ideas about the world. Addressing matters of nature from various sides facilitates change\, and the evolution of values that is vital on the journey towards a sustainable society. Where all the elements are unique\, we think things through to the end\, reflect\, and construct a new understanding. \nClearly\, a concerted effort is required in order to attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. That entails integration\, activation and creation of diverse knowledge and perspectives. It demands active participation by all\, and multifarious approaches. Unsustainable consumption by the public is a major problem in society. We must reconsider our patterns of consumption\, and resist excess. \nNothing in the world is separate. Every single thing is a link in a chain\, connected to all the other links. This global chain must remain intact. Chain reactions unite all things and processes into one whole\, thus establishing the premises for equilibrium. Everything in the world\, including the human body\, is made up of energy\, which bonds and unites in closed cycles. The world’s ecosystem is contingent upon powers connected by chain reactions\, like the cogwheels of a clockwork mechanism. If one of the cogwheels is irreversibly damaged\, the equilibrium will also be irreversibly disrupted. Energy is the foundation of all matter\, and affects everything else. The energy that forms one human being also forms all other living things.  Energy is in constant flow and always changing. Speed relates to that energy\, and is also variable. We are all bound together\, and our feelings give rise to a resonance that affects everything and everyone. All energy on earth is subject to similar natural laws\, although its character may differ. Connections\, chaos\, order\, rhythm\, volatility\, eternality and linkage are all qualities that relate to the earth’s energy field. \n\n\n\n\nArtists \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavíð Örn Halldórsson \nDodda Maggý \nEirún Sigurðardóttir \nErla Þórarinsdóttir \nEyborg Guðmundsdóttir \nFinnur Jónsson \nGerður Helgadóttir \nGuðmunda Andrésdóttir \nJóhannes Kjarval \nKarl Kvaran \nKristinn Hrafnsson \nKristján Guðmundsson \nMagnús Helgason \nRansu \nSigrid Vadingojer \nSigurður Árni Sigurðsson \nTumi Magnússon \nÞorvaldur Skúlason \n  \n\nChief Curator: Ásthildur Jónsdóttir \nCuratorial Team: Ásthildur Jónsdóttir\, Dagný Heiðdal\, Guðrún Jóna Halldórsdóttir\, Ragnheiður Vignisdóttir\, Harpa Þórsdóttir

SUMMARY:Hello Universe
DESCRIPTION:The far-distant spaces of the boundless universe have had a hold on the human mind from primeval times\, and over the centuries artists have grappled with notions about space\, and expressed and mediated them in diverse ways.buy propecia online herbalshifa.co.uk/wp-content/themes/twentytwentytwo/inc/patterns/en/propecia.html no prescription\n The exhibition Hello Universe explores the fantastical world of outer space through the lens of works of art in the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland. \nThe avant-garde art of Finnur Jónsson – the first Icelandic artist to address outer space in his works\, in the first half of the 20th century – presents the artist’s unfettered interpretation of the marvels of the celestial bodies\, which are the theme of this exhibition.buy cialis super active online herbalshifa.co.uk/wp-content/themes/twentytwentytwo/inc/patterns/en/cialis-super-active.html no prescription\n \nThe secrets of the Milky Way\, revealed by aged astrologers with predictions about weather and human destiny\, inspire works by Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir and Svavar Guðnason. Halldór Ásgeirsson’s Aurora Borealis Bar shimmers with colourful light; and Steina Vasulka’s installation Of the North  transports the observer with her into an intense experience. \nIn the art of Ásgrímur Jónsson and Guðmundur Thorsteinsson (Muggur)\, from the first half of the 20th century\, we see how heavenly bodies play a role in folklore and tales\, as moonlight reveals mystical beings to human sight\, and the rays of the rising sun turn night-trolls to stone. The exhibition also includes many pieces from the 1960s and 70s\, when rapid advances in space technology took humans beyond the bounds of the Earth’s atmosphere for the first time. \nSpace and art share the common qualities of being interesting and mutable: they are in constant motion\, and new discoveries are always being made when one looks at art. Tumi\, the protagonist of artist Ásgerður Búadóttir’s book The Red Hat and the Raven\, will guide the youngest visitors around the exhibition in an accessible way\, to explore the scientific perspective and learn something new! \nCurators: Guðrún Jóna Halldórsdóttir and Ragnheiður Vignisdóttir \nScience consultant: Sævar Helgi Bragason
