Ásmundarsafn | Sept. 21 – January 5, 2014 | 1,200 ISK
In this exhibition, Swedish-Icelandic artist Anna Hallin explores
the threads that form so many connections in the history of art –
between different countries, cultures and periods, and between
one artist and another. The interplay between her own works and
the ones of the museum’s namesake, Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-
1982), is the primary focus. The exhibition includes sculptures by
Anna, as well as drawings and an installation, which interact with
the building that Ásmundur constructed and now houses his own
collected works. Come on in and find out about the differences
and the similarities between these two artists. JK
