SUMMARY:Ásmundur Sveinsson and Carl Milles
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition  features the works of sculptors Ásmund Sveinsson (1893-1982) and Carls Milles (1875-1955) from Sweden and  is part of the collaboration between Millesgården Museum and Ásmundarsafn– both museums dedicated to the life and work of the two artists. Carl Milles is one of Sweden’s most respected sculptors and\, like Ásmundur\, he donated his house\, studio and work to the public after his death. Carl Milles was Ásmundur´s mentor during his student years in Stockholm. In 2020 it was 100 years since Ásmund started his studies at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts under Milles’ guidance. The two museums have preserved records that shed light on how strong the bond between Ásmundur and Milles was\, and it can be found in their careers and works. Milles used the history and culture of his own nation as inspiration for his works\, and in the same way he encouraged Ásmund to seek inspiration in Icelandic cultural heritage\, which can clearly be seen in his works throughout his career. Both of them emphasised that art belongs in public spaces where most people have access to it. Ásmundur made  most of the outdoor artworks in the Reykjavík area\, as and some of his works can be found in other parts of the country. Milles’ work can also be found in many places in Sweden\, and he is especially known for his amazing fountains and water creatures. His works can also be found in other parts of the world\, most notably in the United States where he lived and taught for a long time. \nCurators: Edda Halldórsdóttir and Sigurður Trausti Traustason

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. In 2020\, Unndór held the solo exhibition Cul de Sac in Kling and Bang in the Marshall House. \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. Ásmundur’s work can be found in public places all over the country and are prominent in Reykjavík. He stayed true to his opinion that the art should be for the people and belonged with the people. Ásmundur left his works and his home to the city of Reykjavík. Ásmundarsafn at Sigtún was formally opened in spring 1983 and has hosted diverse exhibitions. \nCurators: Aldís Snorradóttir and Edda Halldórsdóttir

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. Ásmundur’s work can be found in public places all over the country and are prominent in Reykjavík. He stayed true to his opinion that the art should be for the people and belonged with the people. \nÁsmundur left his works and his home to the city of Reykjavík.

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:Carl Boutard & Ásmundur Sveinsson: Budding Earth
DESCRIPTION:Carl Boutard’s sculptural practice has been shaped by his constant longing for the outdoors. Often situated or made in public space\, it observes and reflects on the relationship between human beings\, nature and culture. Carl describes himself as an “old-fashioned sculptor” and refers to his emphasis on material and form\, and the function of the works to change depending on the point of view from which they are viewed. There you can often see experiements with emptiness or an opening inside a molded frame. The works may appear abstract\, but are often drawn from natural forms that can be found in the tiny plant kingdom or in the vast universe. \nMuch of Carl Boutard’s art practice is paralleled in the lifework of Ásmundur Sveinsson. It is exciting to see the work of these sculptors from different times call upon one another. Carl exhibits new work after himself and selects work by Ásmundar in conversation with them. The exhibition is part of a two-exhibition series in Reykjavík Art Museum – Ásmundarsafn during 2021\, including an exhibition of work by Sirra Sigrún Sigurðardóttir to open early in the year and Carl’s exhibition will follow in the fall. With these exhibitions\, Ásmundarsafn will re-open following the largest renovation since its opening to the public in 1986. Visitors will gain new perspective on the heritage of the well-known and cared for artist through the lens of two contemporary artists\, and within the beautiful environment of Ásmundarsafn and the surrounding garden. \nCarl Boutard\, born 1975 in Kiruna\, has studied at Malmö Art Academy and Iceland University of the Arts\, Reykjavik. In addition\, he has studied architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Boutard’s work has been shown at Malmö Art Museum\, Lunds Konsthall\, Sven-Harrys konstmuseum\, Artipelag\, Bonniers Konsthall and Centre Culturel Suédois in Paris. Boutard was awarded the ISCP-scholarship in New York in 2015 and his public commissions include sites in Stockholm\, Uppsala\, Karlstad\, Lund and Heidenheim\, Germany. He is represented in the collections at Malmö Art Museum\, Public Art Agency Sweden and Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art in Lund. Carl is Assistant Professor at the Department of Fine Art at Iceland University of the Arts. \nCurator: Markús Þór Andrésson

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.
