SUMMARY:Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir: Peace
DESCRIPTION:i8 Gallery is pleased to announce Peace\, an exhibition of new work by Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir. The show\, Birgisdóttir’s second with the gallery\, includes installations\, prints\, and sculptures by the artist. A major new publication highlighting ten years of Birgisdóttir’s work will be released to coincide with the opening of the show. \n  \nThroughout her nuanced practice\, Birgisdóttir explores ideas of beauty\, utility\, and context\, continually questioning the balance between perception and reality. For Peace\, Birgisdóttir presents five bodies of work\, including both singular objects and connected installations. This exhibition examines banal items such as computer buttons\, plastic clips\, and textile sprays\, each of which is considered by the artist for its simplicity and sheer existence. By presenting prosaic objects in new mediums and scales\, Birgisdóttir overemphasizes their familiarity\, while also challenging their functionality. These shifts highlight the sculptural value of the original item and celebrate the aesthetics of objects that are normally overlooked. \n  \nHildigunnur Birgisdóttir (born 1980\, Iceland) lives and works in Reykjavík. In 2021\, she was included in shows at Iceland’s Reykjavik Art Museum; the GES-2 House of Culture\, V-A-C Foundation in Moscow\, Russia; and H2H in Athens\, Greece. Her work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Iceland\, the Reykjavík Art Museum\, and Iceland’s Living Art Museum\, among others. Birgisdóttir graduated from the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2003.

SUMMARY:Abracadabra
DESCRIPTION:In this diverse exhibition\, new works by contemporary artists are presented especially with children and young people in mind. The works are all in the collection of the Reykjavík Art Museum. Presentation\, mediation and education aims to open up the world of art as it appears today for younger audiences. Along with the exhibition\, there is a rich program as well as digital dissemination. “Abracadabra” is a word deriving from ancient languages that means: What I say becomes a reality. This is a magic word that describes how artists’ ideas become works of art. \nThe Reykjavík Art Museum’s collection houses a large number of works of art\, with about seventeen thousand registered works and sketches of various kinds. When acquiring works of art into the collection\, a choice is made that reflects the diversity of artistic creation at any given time. The exhibition Abracadabra aims to share the main elements that are found in the creative field of today. What characterizes today’s art? What are the artists’ subjects\, methods\, materials and challenges? \n  \nListamenn \nAlicja Kwade \nAnna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir \nAnna Hallin \nAnna Líndal \nAuður Lóa Guðnadóttir \nBaldur Geir Bragason \nEgill Sæbjörnsson \nFritz Hendrik IV \nGuðný Guðmundsdóttir \nHeimir Björgúlfsson \nHildigunnur Birgisdóttir \nHildur Bjarnadóttir \nHrafnhildur Arnardóttir/Shoplifter \nHreinn Friðfinnsson \nKarin Sander \nKatrín Elvarsdóttir \nKatrín Sigurðardóttir \nKristján Steingrímur Jónsson \nLeifur Ýmir Eyjólfsson \nLogi Leó Gunnarsson \nMagnús Helgason \nMargrét H.

SUMMARY:Iðavöllur: Icelandic Art in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Reykjavík Art Museum focuses on the microenvironment\, with an aim of displaying the growth of the Icelandic art scene. The whole Hafnarhús becomes the setting for a powerful exhibition of new works by young artists who may be considered to be in the lead for their generation\, and assumptions can also be made about the larger context of Icelandic and international contemporary art. It’s been a while since we checked in with what’s brewing among the fastest growing and most prominent artists and reflects subjects and approaches of the present. \nThe title of the exhibition is Iðavöllur. It is borrowed from Völuspá and occurs twice in the poem. Iðavöllur is the place where the gods meet when the world is constructed and then reassemble at following Ragnarök to build a new world. Hafnarhús takes on the role of such a meeting place\, as a location for creative artists in the maelstrom of change at the start of the new millennium. The theme of the exhibition is the creative and transformative power contained in the work of artists and it reflects diverse subjects at a time of technological and social transformation. \nThe artists are selected based on how they react to the present and how their perspective influences the perspective of the viewer. These artists have shaped the Icelandic art scene at the start of the new century. People of this generation have a unique position because of the junction they stand at: They fall between the X and Y generations\, at the birth of the millennium generation. The artists remember a world without internet and smartphones\, they experienced the economic collapse and the MeToo revolution\, they sense the boundary between geochronological age and the Anthropocene and are faced with a climate catastrophe. They participate in building an art scene which is undergoing a professionalisation with the arrival of art academies\, international galleries and art history publications. They represent a generation who deals with increased speed\, more flow of information\, blurry borders\, fluctuating gender\, changes in communications\, new technology – all while still remembering the way it used to be. In a sense\, they are experiencing the end of the world and contributing to a new beginning. \n\nArtists:\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Rún Tryggvadóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArna Óttarsdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArnar Ásgeirsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBjarki Bragason\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDodda Maggý\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElín Hansdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEva Ísleifs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuðmundur Thoroddsen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHildigunnur Birgisdóttir\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPáll Haukur Björnsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebecca Erin Moran\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStyrmir Örn Guðmundsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÖrn Alexander Ámundason\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurators:\n\nAldís Snorradóttir\nMarkús Þór Andrésson\nÓlöf Kristín Sigurðardóttir

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
