SUMMARY:The Last Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Last Museum (Reykjavik Edition) blurs the line between cinema and sculpture\, while exploring the potential of web-site-specificity. Principally accessed through www.nylo.is (for a limited period from the 11th of June) the exhibition features a major new commission by Egill Sæbjörnsson alongside contributions by artists from seven other countries. For the Reykjavik Arts Festival\, the project also materializes in the physical space of Nýló. \nThe Last Museum is (to borrow a term from computational engineering) a ‘stack’ that encompasses land\, sculpture\, code\, user experience and more. Each participating artist is commissioned to author a sculptural group\, to be installed at a physical site of their own choosing — associated with communications infrastructure\, technology and/or environment. Each intervention is then videoed and the resulting clips subsequently brought together as an interactive sequence. The outcome is a website experience. Thematically\, The Last Museum imagines information transmission across the historical longue durée\, dramatizing points of intersection with emerging technologies\, (body) politics\, and the global economy. As it does so\, a leitmotif of displacement\, limbo\, loss\, and undeath plays out. \nCurator: Nadim Samman\nArtists: Egill Sæbjörnsson\, Nora Al-Badri\, Nicole Foreshew\, Juliana Cerqueira Leite\, Jakrawal Nilthamrong\, Zohra Opoku\, and Charles Stankievech\, Petros Moris\nPartner: KW Institute for Contemporary Art

SUMMARY:Platform GÁTT: We Can Talk
DESCRIPTION:Do we need to think about what the Nordic Region means? What Scandinavia means? Aligning ourselves under a shared idea can reveal more differences but also more similarities than expected. We share a lot\, but not everything. We also see that these ideas are constructed – by us. Young Nordic artists exhibit works created in our ever-changing reality. \nStarted in 2019\, Platform GÁTT is a collaboration between five prominent cross-disciplinary festivals and institutions in the Nordic region. This event marks the end of the project which took place in five countries\, shining a spotlight on artists under the age of 35. \nThe project is initiated by the Nordic Council of Ministers and is run in partnership between the Reykjavík Arts Festival\, Bergen International Festival\, Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival\, the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands and Helsinki Festival. \nArtists: Constance Tenvik\, Nayab Ikram\, Ville Andersson\, Laura Marleena Halonen (Ilmastokirkko)\, Ronja Louhivuori (Ilmastokirkko)\, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir\, Loji Höskuldsson\, Melanie Ubaldo\nSýningarstjóri/Curator: Starkaður Sigurðarson\nPartners: Gerðarsafn\, Bergen Festspillene\, Helsinki Festival\, Norðurlandahúsið í Færeyjum\, Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival & Nordisk Kulturfond \nImage: Constance Tenvik\, Dressing Up Before Going Out (2021)

SUMMARY:ALDA
DESCRIPTION:ALDA is a live dance performance installation birthed from lasting collaboration between Eva Signý Berger and Katrín Gunnarsdóttir. \nWhen translated as WAVE\, ALDA not only reflects on the form of movement but also refers to time and history\, the old and the emerging new. The driving force behind choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir’s current work has been the creation of movement language and imagery from softness\, sensitivity\, ever-changing movement and the integration of bodies with their environment. In ALDA she draws upon the history of women’s collective physical labour\, in particular its relation to repetitive motions and song\, to generate an event of intimate female assembly\, convergence and coalescence. \n  \nArtistic directors are Choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir\, Costume and Set Designer Eva Signý Berger\, Sound Designer Baldvin Þór Magnússon in collaboration with the curator and the dancers. \n  \nThe installation is a co-production with the Reykjavík Arts Festival. \n  \nPhoto: Owen Fiene\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Stitches and Threads
DESCRIPTION:Stitches and Threads is an exhibition of works by contemporary Icelandic artists who embroider or make use of the needle and thread as a tool in their art. They either look to the past to work with the heritage of the craftsmanship and its tradition\, or employ the needle as a tool in progressive experiments with other media. The exhibition includes new and recent works by a varied group of artists\, both representatives of the younger generation\, and artists who have made their mark on the Icelandic art scene. What they all share is that they have lovingly taken to the needle as an important tool in their artistic practices. The works reflect a vast range of subject matter\, as they confront social issues alongside the poetic of everyday life and tenderness of nostalgia. \nThe sewing needle has long been a popular tool for art creation and decoration. Mainly by the hands of women who have sought to maintain traditional craft\, along with the urge to develop new and creative ways to work with needle and thread. Embroidery\, alongside carving\, were by far the most common media for artists in Iceland during the 20th Century. Temporarily set aside for other techniques\, it was renewed as part of the feminist revolution of the eighties and in the development of feminist art. Today we see even more diverse signs of the return to embroidery within the field of art\, not only in Iceland\, but internationally in contemporary art. \nWhat sparks this increased interest and visibility? What motivates contemporary artists to take to the needle in making their work? \nThis exhibition takes viewers on a journey through this specific sub-discipline of textile art\, where diversity and creative joy are prominent. The exhibition reflects the growing interest in handcrafts\, in recent years it having become more common for artists around the world to use this traditional method to create diverse and exciting works of art. \nExhibiting artists include Agnes Ársælsdóttir\, Anna Líndal\, Anna Andrea Winther\, Eirún Sigurðardóttir\, Erla Þórarinsdóttir\, Guðný Rósa Ingimarsdóttir\, Guðrún Bergsdóttir\, G.Erla – Guðrún Erla Geirsdóttir\, James Merry\, Kristinn G. Harðarson\, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir\, Loji Höskuldsson\, Petra Hjartardóttir and Rósa Sigrún Jónsdóttir. \nThe exhibition is a part of Reykjavík Arts Festival. \nCurators: Birkir Karlsson\, Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir

SUMMARY:The Wheel V: All Is Well
DESCRIPTION:image: Emma Heiðarsdóttir\n  \nOpening 9 June\, 17:00 at The Nordic House.\nOutdoors sculptures by a group of eight different artists will appear in several Reykjavík neighbourhoods during the festival. The Wheel is a series of outdoors exhibitions held around the city since 2018 by the Reykjavík Association of Sculptors to honour the 50th anniversary of the association. The first exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival in 2018 and now the circle will close with the fifth and final installment. This time\, The Wheel will weave its way through areas 101\, 102 and 107\, as artists shed new light on our everyday surroundings. The works displayed are of a varied nature\, provoking a deep study of both area and history while simultaneously examining the more complex social stratification of the cityscape. \nThe Wheel V is a fascinating opportunity to experience the familiar in new ways\, to get to know the works of a truly diverse group of artists and ponder the time and space of the city\, in your own time. \nArtists: Emma Heiðarsdóttir\, Finnur Arnar Arnarson\, Geirþrúður Finnbogadóttir Hjörvar\, Ragnheiður Gestsdóttir\, Sean Patrick O’Brien\, Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir\, Ulrika Sparre & Wiola Ujazdowska.\nCurator: Kristín Dagmar Jóhannesdóttir\nReykjavik Association of Sculptors\, exhibition committee: Eygló Harðardóttir\, Haraldur Jónsson\, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir\, Örn Alexander Ámundason\nPartners: Reykjavíkurborg\, Norræna húsið í Reykjavík\, Myndlistarsjóður \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir: De rien
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to the opening of our upcoming show\, De rien by Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir on the 2nd of June\, 5pm at Kling & Bang. Ingibjörg presents thirteen new sculptures\, drawings\, reliefs and spatial works\, which were made especially for Kling & Bang. \nWe will also be celebrating the release of a new book by the artist\, Cowards Can’t Wait for the Apocalypse\, published by Tunglið publishing. \nThis all ends\, just at a variable pace. Everything is gradually obliterated and erased. Except what is damaged and suddenly disappears. I want to stop time\, slow destruction down. \nZero \nZero balance \nExcept this does not balance to zero. Destruction accumulates. A colourless hue of this and that. A faded shell of nothing. Sun faded zero. \nBut this nothing\, this zero\, still exists. You can light it\, burn it down. But I refuse to burn this zero. It fits well in the palm. It‘s faded on one side. The colours are vanishing. The sun that I love\, adore and miss destroys everything. And I brazenly hold nothing. De rien. \nThe exhibition is part of Reykjavík Arts Festival and is supported by the Icelandic Visual Arts Fund.

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:Hrafn Hólmfríðarson Jónsson (Krummi): Bene Fits
DESCRIPTION:Bene Fits is a compelling and intimate work of photography by Hrafn Hólmfríðarson Jónsson (Krummi)\, dealing with the reality of being disabled and living in poverty in the 21st century Icelandic welfare state – of a deprived existence in one of the world‘s wealthiest countries. Bene Fits places the personal alongside the socio-economic\, creating an experience that stirs us\, sparks reflection and offers a new vision. The work starkly underlines the interplay between market and welfare system in a society where happiness is said to lie in increased purchasing power. Where does that leave those of us who cannot take part in the consumer frenzy? \nKrummi was born in Reykjavík in 1990. He graduated from the School of Photography in early 2021 and has since gained praise for his atmospheric and sensitive photography. His work has been exhibited at Gallerí Port\, Ásmundarsalur\, the Reykjavík Museum of Photography and at the Copenhagen Photo Festival. \nKrummi‘s photographs will be displayed in Pósthússtræti by Austurvöllur throughout the summer.

SUMMARY:Steinunn Thorarinsdottir: ARMORS
DESCRIPTION:In Hallgrímskirkja square\, three pairs of quiet figures appear. Armored\, provocative beings confront vulnerable\, androgynous figures who despite their apparent vulnerability stand strong against aggression. The interplay of opposites and antagonistic forces also sparks notions of fusion – of a possible dialogue\, relations despite differences. \nThe roots of Armors\, Steinunn Þórarinsdóttir‘s stunning exhibition\, go back to the artist‘s time in NYC almost a decade ago. At the Metropolitan Museum\, the artist became fascinated with its extensive armors collection and of armors as a symbol of power and aggression. A collaboration between the artist and the museum ensued and the figures displayed outside Hallgrímskirkja are based on three precious medieval armors from Germany\, England and Italy that were 3D scanned with great precision by museum staff and turned into cast metal sculptures. \nInformation on the creative process behind the exhibition will be displayed in the Hallgrímskirkja foyer while the sculptures stand in the square.
