CHANGES
Icelandic Art in the Service of Sustainability
Changes: Icelandic Art in the Service of Sustainability, curated by Ásthildur Jónsdóttir, brings together works by artists Guðbjörg Lind Jónsdóttir, Guðrún Kristjánsdóttir, Pétur Thomsen and Kristín Jónsdóttir. All the works in this exhibition deal in some way with sustainability and the ethical issues involved in society’s development.
Understanding climate change has traditionally been the domain of natural science. Visual artists have the potential to point out issues often hidden in our society. Sometimes their perspectives can help us discover our role in the natural world and in society, making it possible for us to connect different events and see them and ourselves in context, as part of a whole. Visual arts have the potential to cast a revealing light on these complex relationships and to provoke strong and long-lasting impressions which can stay with the individual for a long time.
The exhibition will be held from 25 June to 5 July in the Communal Space. Join us for the opening on Wednesday 26 June 2019 at 5 p.m.
A reception will be provided after the opening on the occasion of the National Day of Iceland.
