Five
In 2006, hundreds of children at the
age of five were given instant cameras
to use for a period of one week. The
goal was to encourage children to
view their world through the lens of
a camera and to capture moments
in time or space that they felt were
special in some way. Some 250
photographs have now been selected
for publication and 50 photographs
will be exhibited in the foyer of the
theatre. Part of Reykjavík Art Festival.

Early on in his career recently deceased
Icelandic artist Magnús Kjartansson
(1949-2006) was widely celebrated for
his works. Even though his exhibitions
grew less frequent as time passed, they
always caused a stir in the Icelandic art
community and his work has a great
resonance with the work of today’s
modern artists. This retrospective in
Hveragerði’s Listasafn Árnesinga fea-
tures Kjartansson’s work on paper from
1982-1988, in which he experimented
with various ways of committing pic-
tures, objects and even his own body
to the form. It features several lectures
and performances by today’s notables,
including Ragnar Kjartansson.
