How do you use your space? Eva Ísleifsdóttir and Sindri Leifs-
son build into it. The two up-and-coming sculpture artists will
be featured in this year’s annual ‘SCULPTURE/SCULPTURE’
exhibition at Gerðarsafn. The recurring exhibit examines the
place that sculpture occupies in contemporary art through
the lens of individual artists. This year, Eva and Sindri’s works
will reconfigure exalted expectations of the artist. Their works
bring a playfulness into the museum and dance into the public
spaces beyond it. PY
