SUMMARY:Sigtryggur Bjarni Baldvinsson: Into the Valley in Late Autumn
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Into the Valley in Late Autumn is made up of large watercolours painted in the past two years; artist Sigtryggur Bjarni Baldvinsson focusses on the natural environment in Héðisfjörður\, north Iceland\, in late autumn. Over the past 17 years\, Sigtryggur’s art has increasingly been inspired by Héðinsfjörður\, an uninhabited fjord between Ólafsfjörður and Siglufjörður\, where the artist has been documenting nature through the act of painting.

SUMMARY:Rúrí: Glassrain
DESCRIPTION:Glassrain is an installation from 1984\, one of the first of Rúrí‘s many works that address the theme of time and menace. Glassrain comprises 500 razor-sharp fragments of glass\, each ending in a point; the glass sheets\, of variable length\, hang in clusters from ceiling to floor. Each piece is suspended on a clear thread\, and when a visitor walks past the piece\, air currents lead the glass pieces to turn on their threads.

SUMMARY:Forty Years of The Corridor
DESCRIPTION:The Corridor is an artist-run exhibition space founded by artist Helgi Þorgils Friðjónsson in 1979\, and it is probably Iceland’s longest-running privately-operated gallery. The Corridor has always been housed in Helgi Þorgils‘  home; the gallery‘s first exhibition\, of For the Time Being by Hreinn Friðfinnsson early in 1980\, was held at Laufásvegur 79. The Corridor moved on to Mávahlíð 24\, then Freyjugata 32 and Rekagrandi 8. It is now located at Brautarholt 8; in 2017–18 the Corridor had a branch at Kárastígur 9 in Hofsós\, north Iceland\, when Helgi spent a year there with his family. \nHelgi‘s principal objective in founding an exhibition space in his home was to present the work of contemporary artists from other countries in Iceland; at that time there was little opportunity to see international contemporary art in Iceland. Helgi had previously been involved in the foundation and operation of a number of exhibition spaces\, such as Gallery Output\, founded in 1975 with Þór Vigfússon\, Gallery Suðurgata 7\, Gallery Lóa in Haarlem\, Netherlands\, and Gallery Vísir in the Vísir newspaper\, all founded in 1976\, and the Living Art Museum\, 1978. \nIt is hardly possible to enumerate all the contemporary artists who have shown their work at the Corridor in the 42 years it has been in operation. The vast majority are non-Icelandic artists\, some internationally renowned. The artists who have displayed their work at the Corridor make art in a range of media\, and Helgi has sought to exhibit the work of artists representative of other artistic trends than those which have predominated in Iceland\, such as hyperrealism\, magical realism\, neo-surrealism\, the geometric abstract\, and conceptual art. Among them are Karin Kneffel\, Milan Kunc\, Helmut Federle\, Stephen McKenna\, James Rielly\, Jan Knap\, Sigrid Sandstrom\, Robert Devriendt\, Jenny Watson\, Thomas Huber\, Lisa Milroy\, John Zürier\, Urs Luthi and\, last but not least\, the Swiss artist Martin Disler\, who was the first foreign artist to show his work in the Corridor\, in 1980. Many of these artists have established bonds with Iceland and the Icelanders\, and they have enriched Icelandic art in various ways\, such as through teaching at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts (precursor of the Iceland University of the Arts)\, through participation in exhibitions at Iceland’s leading galleries\, and by promoting Icelandic artists abroad. Many of the artists have spent time in Iceland\, and some of their art evinces influence from their stay – so the impact may be deemed reciprocal.

SUMMARY:Zanele Muholi
DESCRIPTION:The National Gallery of Iceland presents this major survey of the work of internationally-recognised South African photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi (b. 1972). Muholi‘s powerful images capture the struggle for the rights of black lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, trans\, queer and intersex people in the artist‘s home country. Muholi gives a voice to those who have to battle on a daily basis for recognition of their identity. \nMore than 100 photographs\, together with video works\, provide insight into these marginalised communities: Muholi‘s sincere view focusses especially on identity politics\, prohibitions\, hate crime and rape\, but also on pride\, resistance\, unity and love. \nCurators: Harpa Þórsdóttir\, Vigdís Rún Jónsdóttir\, Yasufumi Nakamori

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.

SUMMARY:Dieter Roth: Jewellery
DESCRIPTION:Dieter Roth (1930—1998) was a pioneer who respected no boundaries: a thinker\, trailblazer\, poet\, musician\, filmmaker and visual artist. A less well-known aspect of his career is that he also made an impression with his creation of innovative jewellery\, starting in Iceland in the late 1950s. \nThe first pieces of jewellery designed by Roth were made in collaboration with his wife\, artist Sigríður Björnsdóttir\, at the kitchen table in their home; but before long they were offered better facilities in the atelier of goldsmith Halldór Sigurðsson at Skólavörðustígur 2 in central Reykjavik \nRoth‘s jewellery\, generally composed of screws\, bolts and other mechanical parts\, could be assembled in various different ways\, and reconfigured. His jewellery-making was characterised by the same approach as his art: he made use of materials that were generally dismissed as waste or refuse\, which he transformed. \nNo two objects are alike; Dieter Roth was familiar with the qualities of the material\, and worked directly with it. In the 1960s Roth embarked on collaboration with Swiss goldsmith Hans Langenbacher; the two men had first met at the atelier of goldsmith Jón Sigmundsson in Reykjavík in 1958\, and been impressed by each other‘s methods\, use of materials\, and skill. \nAt the National Gallery of Iceland\, an opportunity is offered for the first time to see Dieter Roth‘s unique jewellery in a coherent context. The exhibition bears witness to his experimentalism and unconventional methods\, and sheds new light on the oeuvre of this outstandingly versatile artist. \n\nCurator: Björn Roth

SUMMARY:Margrét H. Blöndal: Ode to Join
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Liðamót / Ode to Join comprises on the one hand drawings made with oil and powdered pigments\, and on the other three-dimensional pieces to be made directly into the the exhibition venue as a response to to the space. The Icelandic title Liðamót is a reference to the fact that where three or more joints come together\, movement results. In Margrét‘s works\, movement arises from partitions to be installed in the space\, the placement of the works and the relationship between them. On the other hand\, the English part of the title\, Ode to Join\, is an ode to connections\, where each sculpture or drawing becomes one element of a polyphonic music composition. Margrét‘s works transcend words\, and are imbued with beauty and a supernatural attraction – and indeed Margrét‘s installations have been likened to symphonic poems. \nMargrét H. Blöndal was born in 1970 in Reykjavík\, where she lives and works. She graduated in 1993 from the multimedia department of the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts (precursor of the Iceland University of the Arts). \nIn 1997 she completed her MFA degree from Mason Gross School of Arts\, Rutgers University in New Jersey\, USA. During her long career Margrét has exhibited widely in Iceland and internationally since 1994.

SUMMARY:Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir: The Only Constant is Change
DESCRIPTION:Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir’s installation The Only Constant is Changebears an element of familiarity as the artist revisits and combines components from former works in a new manner. The multifaceted piece conforms to its own inner operating system on one hand and the presence of guests on the other\, disguising the starting point of motion. \nThe only constant is change is a materialized reflection\, a celebratory nod even\, towards the systematic thinking which has been Ingunn’s modus operandi\, although currently shown in an expanded version. Through the years Ingunn has developed and worked in alignment with personalized systematic processes; with The Only Constant is Change she shifts her focus towards the technical systems and systemic processes that govern\, directly and indirectly\, humanity and the world at large. The piece evokes questions around algorithms\, coding\, political and economic systems together with internet scrolling alike; putting personal agency and influence into question. \nIngunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir (b. 1976) graduated with a MA degree in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2017 and a BA degree in Fine Art from the same institution in 2007. She also holds a BA degree in Art History from the University of Aarhus\, received in 2002. Ingunn works mainly in painting\, weaving and installation. \nIn her work\, Ingunn has an inclination to extend the field of abstract painting into an open system\, where the work is animated by the viewer and the space through direct participation.

SUMMARY:Resistance\, Interplay of art and physics
DESCRIPTION:Resistance is an interdisciplinary exhibition that bridges the gap between visual arts and science. The works on display are key works in the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland\, that establish an interesting dialogue between art and science and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe word Resistance may be read in the context of physics: the measure of a conductive material’s opposition to current flow. Resistance can also signify opposition to consumption\, which responsible citizens must learn to take onboard. In addition\, Resistance also references essential action against climate change and global warming. The arts offer people an opportunity to be influenced\, as art can touch the emotions. Works of art can raise issues which urge the observer to ask him/herself urgent questions. An artistic approach can alter the way people experience the world around them. And artists work with such factors as taste\, perception\, emotion\, conviction\, values and identity\, that are important for a society in the process of formation. Art can also invigorate the human mind\, and show the observer a diversity of viewpoints\, leading them to re-examine their ideas about the world. Addressing matters of nature from various sides facilitates change\, and the evolution of values that is vital on the journey towards a sustainable society. Where all the elements are unique\, we think things through to the end\, reflect\, and construct a new understanding. \nClearly\, a concerted effort is required in order to attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. That entails integration\, activation and creation of diverse knowledge and perspectives. It demands active participation by all\, and multifarious approaches. Unsustainable consumption by the public is a major problem in society. We must reconsider our patterns of consumption\, and resist excess. \nNothing in the world is separate. Every single thing is a link in a chain\, connected to all the other links. This global chain must remain intact. Chain reactions unite all things and processes into one whole\, thus establishing the premises for equilibrium. Everything in the world\, including the human body\, is made up of energy\, which bonds and unites in closed cycles. The world’s ecosystem is contingent upon powers connected by chain reactions\, like the cogwheels of a clockwork mechanism. If one of the cogwheels is irreversibly damaged\, the equilibrium will also be irreversibly disrupted. Energy is the foundation of all matter\, and affects everything else. The energy that forms one human being also forms all other living things.  Energy is in constant flow and always changing. Speed relates to that energy\, and is also variable. We are all bound together\, and our feelings give rise to a resonance that affects everything and everyone. All energy on earth is subject to similar natural laws\, although its character may differ. Connections\, chaos\, order\, rhythm\, volatility\, eternality and linkage are all qualities that relate to the earth’s energy field. \n\n\n\n\nArtists \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavíð Örn Halldórsson \nDodda Maggý \nEirún Sigurðardóttir \nErla Þórarinsdóttir \nEyborg Guðmundsdóttir \nFinnur Jónsson \nGerður Helgadóttir \nGuðmunda Andrésdóttir \nJóhannes Kjarval \nKarl Kvaran \nKristinn Hrafnsson \nKristján Guðmundsson \nMagnús Helgason \nRansu \nSigrid Vadingojer \nSigurður Árni Sigurðsson \nTumi Magnússon \nÞorvaldur Skúlason \n  \n\nChief Curator: Ásthildur Jónsdóttir \nCuratorial Team: Ásthildur Jónsdóttir\, Dagný Heiðdal\, Guðrún Jóna Halldórsdóttir\, Ragnheiður Vignisdóttir\, Harpa Þórsdóttir

SUMMARY:Staged Moments
DESCRIPTION:Staged Moments throws light on one of the most diverse divisions of the National Gallery of Iceland collection – the photograph. The works span the period from the 1970s to the present day. Photography’s status as an art form has risen greatly in recent decades; in the past the photograph was not recognised as a legitimate work of art\, due to its quality of reproducibility\, which was seen as inconsistent with the principle of the unique and sublime in the arts. In Iceland\, the use of photographs by conceptual artists in the 1960s and 70s may be said to have led to the medium being appreciated as an art form. \nStaged Moments testifies to the way that photography has flourished as an art over the past fifty years\, establishing the photograph as an art form on equal footing with other\, older-established art media. Today photography is respected as a multifarious medium in a state of constant evolution\, that has considerably expanded the bounds of contemporary art. \nPhoto: Inga Svala Þórsdóttir & Wu Shanzhuan: Paradises\, 1993

SUMMARY:Guðmundur Thorsteinsson: Muggur
DESCRIPTION:Everything that Muggur touched\, people used to say\, turned to art\, and it was shaped by his remarkable personality. \nGuðmundur Thorsteinsson\, always known as Muggur\, was born in Bíldudalur in the West Fjords in 1891\, and moved to Copenhagen with his family in 1903. He studied art 1911-15 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His artistic career after his studies spanned less than a decade\, before his untimely death of tuberculosis in 1924.buy clomiphene online https://pridedentaloffice.com/wp-content/languages/new/clomiphene.html no prescription\n During his brief career he created a uniquely personal visual world. His style was naturalistic\, generally foregrounding the narrative element; his oeuvre is characterised by diversity and his quest for artistic freedom. \nThe exhibition seeks to explore every aspect of Muggur’s artistic creation\, which spans many fields: landscape; bucolic and genre themes from Iceland; memories of his travels to faraway places\, such as rural Norway and the New York City social scene; fantasy worlds where graceful princes and princesses live in beautiful palaces; the dark and terrifying world of trolls; and the merciful world of faith where Christ cures the sick. Muggur’s illustrations of folktales often underline their comical elements – and he is regarded as the first humourist in Icelandic art. He expressed his ideas in diverse media and methods: he drew in pencil\, pastel and pen\, painted watercolours and oils\, made collages with paper\, embroidered\, sewed\, and carved in wood. \nMuggur was an artist of many talents; in addition to his prolific visual art he was also an actor and singer. He acted in plays\, performed comic songs\, and played the leading role in the film Borgslægtens historie (Sons of the Soil)\, adapted from an Icelandic novel\, which was premiered in 1920. \nThis exhibition brings together works by Muggur in private ownership and those in the National Gallery collection. In 1958 the National Gallery received 46 works by Muggur as a gift from Danish artist Professor Elof Risebye (1892–1961). \nThe exhibition is curated by art historian Kristín G. Guðnadóttir. \n\nCurator: Kristín G.

SUMMARY:Treasures of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:Treasures of a Nation in the Culture House – Masterpieces of Icelandic Art. \nIn this building the National Gallery of Iceland displays masterpieces of Icelandic art. Here are works of art dating from the latter half of the 19th century to the present day\, that reflect the artists’ wide-ranging themes\, offering visitors the welcome opportunity to see many of the nation’s most important works of art. On 1 March 2021 the Culture House passed into the keeping of the National Gallery. \nThe building\, completed in 1909\, was originally built to house the National Library\, National Archives and National Museum collections. It was the first purpose-built facility for such collections in Iceland. This splendid old building now enables the National Gallery to hold a standing exhibition of key works from its collections\, and it is a welcome addition to the Gallery’s exhibition spaces. \nIn various rooms on the upper floors\, works by pioneers of Icelandic painting depict Icelandic nature in a sublime light – and the enchantment of long\, bright Icelandic summer nights has a universal appeal. Landscape\, nature and how to depict them has been a constant in Icelandic art. But other themes are also seen here. The People of the Country have been an essential subject for many artists over the years\, and here on the ground floor genre works are on display\, depicting people of Iceland at sea and on the land\, as well as expressive portraits. \nStill lifes are also seen\, in which artists work with everyday objects from their surroundings\, colour\, form and diverse textures; and\, last but not least\, the exhibition includes a selection from the National Gallery’s extensive collection of abstract art. \nThe top floor of the Culture House was in past times a popular viewing-point for the townspeople of Reykjavík\, as the building stood high above the fast-expanding town around it. In the attic visitors can look out of the windows across the harbour to the sea beyond\, and see for themselves the vistas that have inspired so many artists\, as manifested in their art. \nThe exhibition Treasures of a Nation in the Culture House throws light on the invaluable collections of the National Gallery of Iceland; the art reflects the zeitgeist of each era\, for art is in constant dialogue and renewal\, in step with society itself.

SUMMARY:Ragnar Kjartansson: Death is Elsewhere
DESCRIPTION:During the bright summer months\, the National Gallery of Iceland shows the video installation Death Is Elsewhere by Ragnar Kjartansson – filmed one Icelandic summer night\, when darkness never falls. This seven-channel work is one of the large-scale video installations which have been prominent in Ragnar‘s art in recent years\, where repetition\, time and space play important roles. In Death Is Elsewhere the artist returns to familiar territory\, where a romantic utopian spirit reigns. The ambiance is one of insouciance and melancholy as young couples wander through unvarying lowlands\, singing to a guitar accompaniment. The symmetrical picture and constantly repeated melody entice the observer into the work’s unending circularity\, shutting out impending doom while constantly alluding to it. \nDeath Is Elsewhere was filmed in the Eldhraun lava field in south Iceland\, near the volcano which erupted in the historic Skaftá Fires of the late 18th century\, causing devastation in Iceland and affecting climate worldwide. By this choice of location\, Ragnar references the eruption and the history\, and he also brings Icelandic art history into the work\, for instance by evoking the landscape paintings of Jón Stefánsson (1881-1962)\, and not least the light summer nights which were a favourite theme of Icelandic landscape artists in the early 20th century\, at the time of the pioneers of Icelandic art.\n \nRagnar Kjartansson was born in Reykjavík in 1976.buy sildenafil online https://www.mobleymd.com/wp-content/languages/new/sildenafil.html no prescription\n He studied at the Iceland University of the Arts 1997–2001\, and was an exchange student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. \nRagnar is the best-known Icelandic artist today\, and his works are displayed in prestigious museums around the world. He represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale in 2009\, and in 2019 his video installation The Visitors was chosen as the best art work of the 21st century by the Guardian. Death Is Elsewhere was first shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 2019\, and this is the first time it has been exhibited in Iceland. \nDeath Is Elsewhere is dedicated to Carolee Schneemann.

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

SUMMARY:Steina Vasulka: Of The North
DESCRIPTION:Steina’s gigantic video installation Of the North (2001) is an arresting and captivating work that touches all who see it. In the 1960s the possibility of recording sound and video in real time opened up new dimensions in the world of visual arts. Steina Vasulka and her husband Woody got to know avant-garde artists working in the new media when they were living in New York\, where they ran The Kitchen for a time – a venue for audio and video artists that opened in 1971. That was a time of rapid technological advances in electronic culture\, no less than in space science. Steina (Steinunn Bjarnadóttir Briem) and Woody Vasulka were pioneers who collaborated on a range of research regarding video art and the harnessing of electronic (and later digital) pulses. The equipment itself was also used in a dialogue whose aim was to create interesting works of art without compromising standards.\nbuy lasix generic https://rxbuywithoutprescriptionrxonline.com/lasix.html over the counter \nTheir colloquy with technology became most interesting and rewarding\, benefiting from Steina’s background in music and Woody’s technical expertise. “Motion and time are key aspects of my art\,” stated Steina. \nOf the North (2001) is created from Steina’s archive of video recordings\, mostly of Icelandic nature – either the surface of the earth\, or microscopic views: microbes\, as well as crashing waves and melting ice\, landslips and an array of natural phenomena relating to geological formation and destruction of our planet. The work also reaches out into space\, with spherical objects rotating around an imaginary axis in a hypnotic rhythm\, with all the concomitant sounds. The beat and energy evoke imagery that may lead the observer’s thoughts in many directions – whether to magnificent beauty\, or more down-to-earth musing on the vulnerability of nature and the impermanence of the earth.

SUMMARY:Ásgrímur Jónsson: Korriró og dillidó
DESCRIPTION:Step into magic! The visual world of Icelandic folklore and fairy tales created by Ásgrímur Jónsson in his art is a truly enchanted realm. Elves\, trolls and ghosts\, which had lived in the Icelandic mind in the semi-darkness of the old turf farmhouse\, were given a clear form in Ásgrímur’s art. He first exhibited such pieces in Iceland in 1905. Ásgrímur’s works on folklore themes were well received; in the press\, reviewers expressed delight that for the first time the folktale heritage was being addressed by an Icelandic artist. Ásgrímur’s depictions of the appearance of elves and trolls met with widespread approval; hence the artist appears to have succeeded in capturing the way that Icelanders in general imagined such beings. Today the folklore paintings form part of the unique cultural heritage conserved in the collections of the National Gallery of Iceland. \nThe exhibition Corry-Roe and Diddly-Doe\, in the artist’s studio in his home on Bergstaðastræti\, offers an ideal opportunity to experience the unique supernatural world of elves in their finery and terrifying trolls\, as depicted with passionate sincerity by Ásgrímur Jónsson. At the exhibition visitors can listen to a number of folktales\, in both Icelandic and English; young and old\, families and groups can enjoy them in the unique setting of the artist’s own home. \nThe National Gallery of Iceland collection includes more than 1\,000 works relating to folklore and fairy tales; and in Ásgrímur Jónsson’s sketchbooks are 2\,000 drawings mainly inspired by that tradition. The exhibition in Ásgrímur Jónsson’s house displays a selection of his extensive oeuvre of folklore pictures – both oils and watercolours\, as well as drawings. These include his interpretations of such tales as Una the Elfwoman\, the Night Troll\, Gissur á Botnum\, Búkolla\, Mjaðveig Mánadóttir\, the Deacon of Myrká and “Look into my glowing eye\, Gunna.”
