Reykjavík Art Museum – Kjarvalsstaðir Exhibition:
Zoom Out – A showroom of artworks in transit
This unusual exhibition will give visitors a rare opportunity to see the Reykjavík Art Museum’s vast collection of Icelandic art. Artworks in a variety of media will be shown in a constantly-changing display over a three-month period.
The exhibition hall will be in state of a perpetual flux, as art handlers constantly install new works and remove others, even as visitors roam through the gallery space.
This is an opportunity to get an unedited view of Icelandic art, for everything will be brought out of storage and displayed without curatorial pre-selection.
On display until May 20.
Coalition talks between the Independence and Progressive Party are in the final stages, set to be completed today or tomorrow, and a decision on a new government for Iceland is expected to be announced tomorrow or on Tuesday.
