Spiderwoman Comes To Iceland!
National Gallery of Iceland
May 29 to September 11
500 ISK
Are you afraid of spiders? Hope not,
because the femme of the spiders has
arrived to Reykjavik and she is planning
to stay for a while (well, actually until
September 11). Louise Bourgeois is a
French born artist well known for her
bizarre scale arachnid sculptures called
Maman, which have been displayed all
over the world.
But she is much more than that. Lousie
was the first woman to receive a grant
from New York’s MoMA and she is
considered one of the most important
artists of the late twentieth century.
If you are a modern art lover you don’t
want to miss this. And don’t worry if you
can’t stand those disgusting spiders;
the collection shown at the National
Gallery of Iceland includes some nice
installations, sculptures, drawings and
paintings, all free of creepy crawlers. JH
