The exhibition Weathered is open on Museum Night!
Welcome to our current exhibition, "Weathered," which comprises the works of FÍSL —The Icelandic Contemporary Photography Association members—as part of the Icelandic Photography Festival 2025. Admission is free on Museum Night!
The aim of the exhibition is to reflect on the role of photography in contemporary art and in art history. The exhibition also explores how photography can be defined unconventionally, as the artists explore the relationship between man and his environment. In the works, we see traces of man, but the human being is nowhere to be seen. The exhibition explores the impact of man on nature and the environment. Photographs will be shown of abandoned landscapes where we only see abstract or objectified traces, either in nature, indoors, in the urban landscape, or a social context. Artists: Einar Falur Ingólfsson, Nina Zurier, Stuart Richardson, Eva Schram, Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir, Katrín Elvarsdóttir, Bjargey Ólafsdóttir, Bára Kristinsdóttir, Jóna Þorvaldsdóttir, Björn Árnason, Kristín Sigurðardóttir, María Kjartansdóttir, Bragi Þór Jósefsson, Valdimar Thorlacius, Claire Paugam og Þórsteinn Svanhildarson.
