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:FJÖLFELDI - HLUTFELDI - MARGFELDI
DESCRIPTION:Being able to create more than one copy of the same work has long followed the artist tradition. Many artists have created such works\, which offers a different possibility than the unique artwork\, and can be considered as an object somewhere between art and production. Works made in multiple copies are priced differently\, are cheaper and thus made accessible to a larger group. The work goes from the standpoint of the individual and becomes an object that more than one can own\, they are often smaller\, and confirm their value not only by being a work by a certain artist\, but also by being numbered and signed editions and then become part of a larger context\, a narrative that is important to the person who acquires the work. \nMultiples can be two- or three-dimensional and can be created using a variety of methods. In the fifteenth century\, artists began to develop methods for molding works\, as it was considered a great advantage to be able to distribute works as widely as possible. This led to a significant development of visual culture in the countries where the knowledge was available. In the eighteenth century\, for example\, artists invented methods that enabled them to create sculptures from\, for example\, clay\, bronze or plaster and porcelain. Casting sculptures using mold or sand became popular in the production of works made in editions and these methods are still widely used in the making of art today. The methods of the graphic arts also fall under this definition\, but works made in such a way have the undoubted advantage that it is easy to make the same work in many copies. \nWith the method of copper plating in the Baroque period\, the distribution and reproduction of works of art became more general. The copper insert is a method used to make graphics\, where the image is engraved with a needle in a copper plate and then printed on paper. The work Los caprichos\, 1797 by Francisco Goya\, was one of the first known multiples created in a limited edition. Looking at twentieth-century works of art\, the work of Marcel Duchamps\, Rotoreliefs from 1935\, is one of the first multiples of modern art and in the form of multiples we know today\, a series of six rotating discs\, published in 500 copies. \nThe exhibition FJÖLFELDI – HLUTFELDI – MARGFELDI focuses on the works of twenty-nine contemporary artists who have worked for longer or shorter periods in creating multiples. In order for a work of art to fall under that definition\, the works must be made in three or more copies. \nThe word HLUTFELDI is created by Magnús Pálsson\, but in the exhibition you can find most of the works where he works in this way. The exhibition includes Magnús’ works that are still in the possession of the artist and his family\, but many of his works are now owned by museums and collectors. Other works in the exhibition are made in a conversation with the MULTIS project over a two-year period.
