'Kingdom: Flora, Fauna, Fable' Exhibition
May 28 - September 18 | Listasafn Reykjavíkur: Hafnarhús, Tryggvagata 17 (F3) |
Admission: 1,500 ISK.
Historically, art has emphasized human interest as it pertains
to earth and our surroundings. The new survey ‘Kingdom:
Flora, Fauna, Fable’ aims to juxtapose various artworks, old
and new, to emphasize the distinctive ways artists relate to
and portray nature. The exhibition asks us to think of art and
nature’s relationship in a more interdisciplinary way. It’s art
meets science, meets philosophy, meets history. KR
