A Censored Exhibit Opens

Koddu. The Icelandic Case
The Living Art Museum
April 16 to May 15 Free
Last November, a trio of Icelandic artists were
going to put on an exhibition about Iceland’s
economic crash. Only before the doors
opened at Listasafn Árnesinga in Hveragerði,
the gallery director put her foot down and the
exhibit never saw the light. However, Ásmun-
dur Ásmundsson, Tinna Grétarsdóttir, and
Hannes Lárusson are now going to open that
mega racy exhibit at the Living Art Museum.
It will address the surge of neoliberal values
during Iceland’s boom years and the effect
that it had on the contemporary art scene, as
well as the resulting crisis, and the role it has
played in the continued development of the
art scene. It sounds fascinating indeed! And
if you are as curious as we are about what
could possibly have been worthy of censor-
ship in a twenty first century democratic
country, no less, the exhibit opens April 15
and runs until May 15. See you there. AA
