SUMMARY:New and Brand New
DESCRIPTION:It is appropriate to celebrate the fact that Akureyri Art Museum will again be buying artwork for its collection. The exhibition New and Brand New gives an overview over artworks that have been donated to the museum during the last few years but haven‘t been exhibited before\, as well as brand new works bought for the collection. \nOne of the main roles of art museums is to collect art and exhibit their collection and is it therefore important to regularly acquire artwork that reflect art history. \nAmong the things stated in Akureyri Art Museum’s procurement policy is that Icelandic art should be collected and furthermore a special emphasis is on collecting art tied to North Iceland. The receiving of donations is limited to art that serves the goal of a comprehensive and focused collection. The Museum director and members of the Museum Counsel\, decide which donations to accept\, based on the procurement policy and the state of the permanent collection. \nCurator: Hlynur Hallsson.

SUMMARY:Black and White
DESCRIPTION:Opposites and different things\, attitudes and perspectives. What separates us can also connect us. This exhibition consists of work by five artists who work with black and white photography. The artists approach their subjects in different ways and the art pieces are multiple: landscape\, people\, stories\, places and atmosphere. Opposites and fears\, quiet and affection and several manifestations of daily life\, adventures\, culture\, the unknown and the familiar. \nParticipating artists: Sosnowska\, Christopher Taylor\, Katrín Elvarsdóttir\, Páll Stefánsson and Spessi. \nTheir background is diverse\, which is clearly visible in their works.  At the same time\, when looking more closely\, there are also several things that unites them. \nThe exhibition is a part of Reykjavík Arts Festival. \nCurator: Hlynur Hallsson.

SUMMARY:Ragnar Kjartansson: The Underworld of Akureyri
DESCRIPTION:Ragnar Kjartansson is one of the most respected Icelandic artists – known for his video-work\, paintings\, performances and installations. Kjartansson exhibits a new art-piece especially created for the balcony of Akureyri Art Museum with a direct reference to the Akureyrian community\, in his own words: “In Akureyri everything is a little bit more OK than in other places.” \nA touch of sarcasm can often be detected in his work that never cease to surprise the viewer through a certain progression linked to the Icelandic national character\, history and the artist‘s existence within the community or outside it. \nKjartansson is born in Reykjavík 1976. He graduated from the Fine Art Deparment of Iceland University of the Arts in 2001 and was an exchange student at the Royal Academy in Stockholm in 2000. He also studied at the Homemaking School in Reykjavík 1996-97. Kjartansson has had solo exhibitions at several distinguished art museums and galleries around the world such as Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal\, Canada 2016\, Kunstmuseum in Stuttgart\, Germany 2019 and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York\, USA 2019.buy ivermectin Canada https://langleyrx.com/ivermectin.html no prescription\n He represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale in 2009. \nCurator: Hlynur Hallsson.

SUMMARY:Recent Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:One of the main roles of art museums is to collect art and exhibit their collections. Unfortunately no funds were reserved to buy art in the 2021 budget for Akureyri Art Museum. And so it has been for over a decade. \nThis will hopefully change soon so the museum can attend to the important task of collecting contemporary art in a systematic order to represent art history. The Art Museum has however recieved a number of donations in the form of artworks over the past few years and that is what this exhibition relies upon. \nThe procurement policy for Akureyri Art Museum states\, amongst other things\, that Icelandic art should be collected\, but especially art that has ties to North Iceland. The recieving of donations is limited to art that serves the goal of a comprehensive and focused collection. The Museum director and members of the Museum Counsil decide which donations to accept based on the procurement policy and the state of the permanent collection. \nCurator: Hlynur Hallsson.

SUMMARY:Limitations
DESCRIPTION:Group exhibition works by North Icelandic artists. \nThis is the fourth biennale\, an exhibition of works by artists fr om North Iceland\, held at Akureyri Art Museum. This time with special theme: Limitations – obviously referring to the state of the world these days. Participants apply to a call from Akureyri Art Museum and a special jury selects the works that will be exhibited. Those are works from 17 different \nartists\, of the 44 that applied. Jury members were Haraldur Ingi Haraldsson artist and project manager at the Akureyri Art Museum\, Hlynur Hallsson Museum director and Vigdís Rún Jónsdóttir art historian. How well one can connect the works to the exhibition title varies a lot\, with some created especially for the exhibition while others are older. Artistic\ninterpretation of the concept can of course also be very diverse. \nA catalogue is published and it will be interesting to compare it to older catalogues to follow the trends and developments in art from North Iceland. The aim is surely to present different approaches and ideas from artists in the area. Jón B. K. Ransu\, visual artist and scholarly writer\, writes in his introduction in the catalogue: “The title of the exhibition is Limitations and it is held in a time when a pandemic has raged for well over a year. During this time the concept of limitations has obtained a tangible meaning since most things are restricted; number of people meeting\, how close one is to the next person\, and number of people gathering – all having strong influence on our lives.\nThe title of the exhibition\, Limitations\, refers to the state created by the pandemic\, but also plays with the idea\, since theme exhibitions are always limited in their nature. We can\, for instance\, say that the selection of artworks f or the exhibition is based on certain limitations and that participation open only to artists from a particular area is a limitation in itself.” \nThe exhibition gives an insight into the diverse flora of visual art that is connected to North Iceland and in general. This biennale has potential for being a foundation for research and creations within the frame of visual arts as well as a motivation and opportunity. This is one of the summer exhibitions at Akureyri Art Museum since guests at the museum\, both local and from abroad\, want to see local art. The exhibition received a grant from the Icelandic Museum Fund. \nArtists:\nAðalheiður S.
