On Sunday, March 22 at 14:00, the artists Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury will welcome guests and talk about their works in the exhibition Hriðvirðir einstaklingar, together with Hólmar Hólm, the other curator.
The exhibition revolves around the long‑standing and little‑discussed interactions between Poland and Iceland throughout the years – which began with trade long before Poles became the largest group of immigrants in Iceland. The artists work with media such as embroidery, video, and painting, and by combining historical sources with reflections on life in the present moment, they place these cultural connections in a new context. The exhibition sheds light on how everyday objects, labor, and economic ties have influenced Iceland and Poland for nearly a century – and it paints a picture of a relationship that began long before modern migration and continues to shape both countries today.
Lukas Bury (b. 1991) and Weronika Balcerak (b. 1996) together form the artistic duo East‑Icelanders. The name refers historically to the West‑Icelanders, who once moved west across the ocean and began a new life. This raises questions about arriving in a new country, settling down, and belonging. They work with long processes in which the treatment and the context intertwine, and personal experience meets historical references. Their works are characterized by thoughtful material choices and a connection to place, focusing on how meaning is created through presence, repetition, and shared space.
Admission free – everyone welcome.
