Reykjavík Art Museum is proud to host this elaborate exhibition at Hafnarhús. After a successful series of international appearances in recent years, including major survey exhibitions on both sides of the Atlantic, Ragnar Kjartansson opens his first museum show in his homeland, Iceland. The Mayor of Reykjavík will open the exhibition.
Kjartansson’s work will take over the museum building, providing a fascinating insight into the multilayered world that he has constructed over the years. Many of the works have never before been exhibited in Iceland, notably the more recent ones that have insured the artist‘s place as a leading figure in the international art scene. Furthermore, some intriguing and rarely seen early works will be on display.
And there will be plenty for the audience to enjoy. The exhibition reflects Kjartansson‘s ode to art in all its glory, to music, theater, film, literature and – naturally - visual arts. This celebration is manifested through selected works, dating from 2004 to the present; live endurance performance, large-scale video installations, photography, sculpture, painting and drawings.
The exhibition is supported by Gamma.
