The Meaning Of Manhood
‘MEN’ by Curver Thoroddsen, Finnur Arnar Arnarson,
Hlynur Hallsson, and Kristinn G. Harðarson
Hafnarborg
Strandgata 34, 220 Hafnarfjörður | 12-17, Th 12-21, Tu closed | Free
This multimedia exhibition showcases the works of four male
artists who each use their own medium to explore men’s status
in the 21st century in relation to increased women’s rights. With
photographs, paintings, drawings, videos and even embroidery,
they tackle home participation, child rearing, existential crisis,
society’s misleading messages and the very idea of manhood.
Curver Thoroddsen is known for fusing art with everyday
life. Inspired by his family, Finnur Arnar Arnarson works
with photographs, videos, sculptures and installations. Hlynur
Hallsson’s works often relate to politics, communication
and understanding. Kristinn G. Harðarson provides social
commentary through his artwork, often working in traditionally
female mediums, like embroidery. RÓG
