On Saturday October 4th at 13:00, Hólmar Hólm, one of the curators, will lead visitors through the exhibition You are here, which presents selected works from the art collection of Uppsala, one of Hafnarfjörður’s friendship town. To mark Swedish Cinnamon Bun Day (kanelbullens dag), also held annually on October 4th, cinnamon buns and coffee will be served. Please note that this will also be the exhibition’s final weekend.
The exhibition explores questions of belonging to a place and a community – what is here, what is home, what is the local environment or neighborhood? What does it mean to settle, to form connections, and to perceive oneself as part of a whole?
Through the eyes of eighteen diverse artists, we encounter life in the Nordic regions, often reminding us of our own circumstances – the climate and cold, attitudes and values, as well as a shared cultural heritage. The exhibition thus encourages us to reflect on similarities and differences between here and there, as we travel in our minds to Uppsala.
Participating artists: Anastasia Savinova, Anders Sunna, Anton Wiraeus, Aron Landahl, Britta Marakatt-Labba, Ebba Stålhandske & Gudrun Westerlund, Ellen Ehk Åkesson, Finn Öhlund, Ikram Abdulkadir, Katarina Sundqvist Zohari, Lina Eriksson, Lisa Wallert, Meta Isaeus-Berlin, Olof Hellström, Sara-Vide Ericson, Stina Wollter, and Ulla Fries.
Curatorial team: Aldís Arnadóttir, Hólmar Hólm, Mikaela Granath, and Tove Otterclou. The project is supported by the Icelandic Museum Fund.
