On Sunday 8 February at 13:00, Aldís Arnardóttir and Þórdís Jóhannesdóttir, the exhibition curators, will guide guests through the current exhibitions by Eggert Pétursson, Roði, and Una Björg Magnúsdóttir, Fylling. Both Una Björg and Eggert present new works that draw the viewer’s attention to the small things and to how everything forms part of a larger whole, whether it concerns the earth’s vegetation, imagined or real stories, materials or space.
In the main hall of Hafnarborg, Una Björg marks out a new space within the exhibition room itself, a room that surrounds a stately building from 1921 which once housed a home and a pharmacy. The main hall clearly reflects this history, as the curved facade of the older house forms a prominent landmark within the room. One of the main works of the exhibition plays a similar game: a low partition stretches through the space, shaped by the room but also creating a new interior space of its own. Other works have been made specifically for the exhibition, sculptures, images and works on paper that form a delicate narrative relying on the qualities of the space, its materials and light, its possibilities and its constraints.
In Sverrissalur, Eggert presents paintings created especially for the exhibition, continuing his study of Icelandic nature and now turning his gaze upward toward mountain vegetation and open sky. The smallest plants become a striking landscape where vegetation and the surface of the earth transform into a finely tuned pictorial structure reflecting time, light and change. A series of new graphic works is also on display, created in connection with an upcoming translation of Paradís from Dante’s Divine Comedy, where the spiritual and symbolic world resonates with the artist’s earthly perspective.
Free admission. Everyone welcome.
