SUMMARY:Guðjón Ketilsson: Jæja
DESCRIPTION:“Jæja” – the word is like a found object in the Icelandic vocabulary. One can resort to it on almost any occasion. On its own\, it means very little\, but everyone can make it their own and put it into context so that it acquires meaning. Guðjón Ketilsson creates his art with a similar methodology\, he spots things and by taking them to hand and showing us in a new context\, he gives them value. \nArtist Guðjón Ketilsson has explored many ways over the period of his extensive career. He has made sculpture a priority\, but drawing also plays a major role in his artistic creation. Prominent in his work is the emphasis on craftsmanship\, as his works are known for their artistry\, ingenuity and devotion. The body is there at the center\, and its extension through clothes and tools\, as well as habitat and other things in its immediate surroundings. Guðjón communicates this with an effective interplay of presence and absence\, materiality and emptiness\, surface and content. Language is also an important factor\, less in terms of the meaning of the words\, and rather connected to the world of symbolism\, where the context of single and different symbols conjures up a coherent meaning. \nAt a mid-career retrospective of Ketilsson\, one can expect to see sculptures composed of found furniture that he has treated in his own unique way\, refined wooden sculptures that resemble obsolete objects in a folk museum\, high-precision drawings of buildings in Norðurmýri (a neighborhood in Reykjavík)\, a collection of detritus he has collected in his walks and arranged in one piece\, and clothing – all kinds of clothing carved in wood\, such as shoes\, loincloths and hats. \nGuðjón Ketilsson is the sixth artist selected to participate in the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir\, where the careers of key figures in Icelandic art life are reviewed. Each of them is chosen with regard to their unique contribution and specialization in their field\, both in terms of media\, methods and subject matter. The status check is done through the display of key works from different periods in the artist’s career\, in the West Gallery at Reykjavík Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir\, and through the publication of an exhibition catalog which reflects on the work in the context of art history and the present. \nCurator Markús Þór Andrésson.

SUMMARY:Some New Works
DESCRIPTION:One of the roles of the National Gallery of Iceland is to collect art\, with the objective of reflecting as well as possible trends and movements in Icelandic and international art at any time\, as stated in the National Gallery of Iceland Act. The museum’s collections are extensive and diverse. The oldest works in the collection date from the 16th century\, while the most recent are less than one year old; the nucleus of the collection consists of Icelandic art from around 1900 to the present day. Today the collection numbers over 15\,000 works\, and more are added each year. \nThe exhibition Some New Works displays a selection of works which have been purchased by the gallery’s Acquisitions Board or presented to the gallery in recent years. The Exhibition have been curated to highlight systems and repetitions in the work of eleven artists\, which have been made in a range of different media. \nArtists: Anna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir\,  Bjarni H. Þórarinsson\, Fritz Hendrik Berndsen\, Guðjón Ketilsson\, Gunnhildur Hauksdóttir\, Hildur Bjarnadóttir\, Sigurður Guðjónsson\, Sigurður Atli Sigurðsson\, Sölvi Sólon Íslandus Helgason\, Valgerður Guðlaugsdóttir\, Örn Alexander Ámundason. \nCurator: Vigdís Rún Jónsdóttir

SUMMARY:FJÖLFELDI - HLUTFELDI - MARGFELDI
DESCRIPTION:Being able to create more than one copy of the same work has long followed the artist tradition. Many artists have created such works\, which offers a different possibility than the unique artwork\, and can be considered as an object somewhere between art and production. Works made in multiple copies are priced differently\, are cheaper and thus made accessible to a larger group. The work goes from the standpoint of the individual and becomes an object that more than one can own\, they are often smaller\, and confirm their value not only by being a work by a certain artist\, but also by being numbered and signed editions and then become part of a larger context\, a narrative that is important to the person who acquires the work. \nMultiples can be two- or three-dimensional and can be created using a variety of methods. In the fifteenth century\, artists began to develop methods for molding works\, as it was considered a great advantage to be able to distribute works as widely as possible. This led to a significant development of visual culture in the countries where the knowledge was available. In the eighteenth century\, for example\, artists invented methods that enabled them to create sculptures from\, for example\, clay\, bronze or plaster and porcelain. Casting sculptures using mold or sand became popular in the production of works made in editions and these methods are still widely used in the making of art today. The methods of the graphic arts also fall under this definition\, but works made in such a way have the undoubted advantage that it is easy to make the same work in many copies. \nWith the method of copper plating in the Baroque period\, the distribution and reproduction of works of art became more general. The copper insert is a method used to make graphics\, where the image is engraved with a needle in a copper plate and then printed on paper. The work Los caprichos\, 1797 by Francisco Goya\, was one of the first known multiples created in a limited edition. Looking at twentieth-century works of art\, the work of Marcel Duchamps\, Rotoreliefs from 1935\, is one of the first multiples of modern art and in the form of multiples we know today\, a series of six rotating discs\, published in 500 copies. \nThe exhibition FJÖLFELDI – HLUTFELDI – MARGFELDI focuses on the works of twenty-nine contemporary artists who have worked for longer or shorter periods in creating multiples. In order for a work of art to fall under that definition\, the works must be made in three or more copies. \nThe word HLUTFELDI is created by Magnús Pálsson\, but in the exhibition you can find most of the works where he works in this way. The exhibition includes Magnús’ works that are still in the possession of the artist and his family\, but many of his works are now owned by museums and collectors. Other works in the exhibition are made in a conversation with the MULTIS project over a two-year period.
