Group exhibitions in Iceland usually include two or at the most three artists.
This is generally good for both artist and viewer alike. But if you want to
examine a fairly wide and high quality cross-section of modern Icelandic art,
this current exhibition at Gallerí Turpentine is a great place to start.

tumi magnússon
Minimalism is probably one of the most difficult and challenging approaches
to take in art, and few people can pull it off well. The collection of prints by
Tumi Magnússon currently being shown at Gallerí i8 succeeds in captur-
ing the almost Zen-like beauty of everyday objects that normally don’t ever
register in our perceptions, and make us look at them differently.

seRge comte 
This French artist is hard to pin down. His works could be seen as frivolous,
almost insultingly so, but the emotional impact they make is completely dif-
ferent on closer examination. At once humourous, dream-like and sinister,
Comte’s work is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, superficially light with a confron-
tational motivation. 08.04 – 30.04.2006
