‘Portræt Nu!’, a unique Nordic group ex-
hibition, has just arrived in Iceland and
will be displayed at the Hafnarfjörður In-
stitute of Culture and Fine Art. The exhibi-
tion features contemporary portraits that
were part of a Nordic portrait competi-
tion, launched by the Danish Museum of
National History at Frederiksborg Castle
in 2006. 541 artworks were submitted
and 62 of them chosen. The artists were
encouraged to illustrate the great diver-
sity of the term ‘portrait’ and what it can
include. By doing so, they engaged with
a wider audience and gave the public
an opportunity to become acquainted
with contemporary Nordic portraiture.
Several Icelandic artists were chosen to
participate. These include Dodda Maggý
Kristjánsdóttir, Helgi Gíslason, Kristveig
Halldórsdóttir, Magdalena Margrét Kjar-
tansdóttir, Sesselja Tómasdóttir and
Sigrún Eldjárn. The exhibition opens at
17:00 on October 13.
