The interpretation of the seen and the unseen, landscape, and oral tradition were some of his main topics throughout his career, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. His paintings and drawings reflect sincere love for the country and the nation, and the works chosen for this exhibition reflect the scope of the artist’s themes. Runs until September 15 ASÍ Art Gallery ‘The Vixen And The Victim’ Throughout the history of Western art, women were nameless models used by men as muses rather than subject matter. In 2015 women (over 40) are celebrating the centennial of the right to vote in Iceland and ASÍ is celebrating by showcasing a gallery that focuses on women. Artists of all ages and methods present works that deal with the idea that women are always seen as either the ‘vixen’ or ‘victim’.

Since then, her work has been shown in places such as the New Museum in New York and Berlinische Galerie in Berlin.

She also uses her sons’ faces as representation of the good forces and juxtaposes them next to the darker images to make the viewer think Woman Spits On Son ‘Me and My Mother’ by Ragnar Kjartansson Kópavogur Art Museum Gerðarsafn i8 Gallery (D3) | June 11-22 August Wkdys 11-17, Sat 13-17 | Free! of our common responsibility for the future.

Runs until September 1 Hornið ‘Take Two’ by Jóhann Vilhjálmsson Part artist, part musician, and part chef, Jóhann is a true jack-of-all-trades. His mediums are pastels and ink, and he gravitates towards bold, bright colours. His subjects range from people, to landscapes, scenes and more, but all have a surrealist Has your mother ever spat on you? Ragnar Kjartansson’s has. In fact, she’s spat on him every five years since 2000 (at least, those are the times that we know of). Ragnar is perhaps best known for his performance, installation and video art, such as the critically acclaimed ‘The Visitors’, ‘A Lot of Sorrow’, and ‘Bliss’. If you’re into any (or all) of spitting, mothers, videos, or art, then head down to the i8 Gallery to check out the work of this world-famous Icelandic artist. His previous work from 2000, 2005, and 2010 will also be on display. CMD ART OPENINGS & ONGOING
