In conversation with Gallery Gudmundsdottir

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

This month we caught up with #gudnygudmundsdottir of Gallery Gudmundsdottir in Berlin to chat about the journey from classically trained musician to gallerist. Taking an artist-lead approach, the relationships Gudmundsdottir has developed with artists over the years form the starting point for the gallery’s ambitions, listening to what they need as the first prerequisite.

Currently on show at Gallery Gudmundsdottir is Landscape Enclosed by Anna Marie Sigmond Gudmundsdottir until the 24th of April.

Icelandic Art Abroad

Many great exhibitions by Icelandic and Iceland-based artists are on show abroad this month.

Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson are showing work in the collective contemporary art exhibition Como Una Bola de Nieve for the 15th Anniversary of Málaga's La Casa Invisible. The exhibition, curated by Libia Castro, Ólafur Ólafsson and Carlos Sanjuan, opens in phases, with artists being incorporated and exchanged during the course of the show transforming the exhibition into a dialogue.

Ragnar Kjartansson's exhibition Emotional Landscapes at Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid brings together for the first time four of his most internationally renowned video installations: The Visitors (2012), The Man (2010), The End (2009) and God (2007), together with a series of watercolours.
