13. mar 2023 20:18

The art exhibition ‘Bangsavættir / bears; truths‘, by artist Kathy Clark in Hafnarhús museum, Reykjavík, is one not to be missed! The eerie exhibition is the artist‘s first solo show in an official art establishment in Reykjavík.
The bizarre installation features thousands of old, abandoned teddy bears, covered in wax and formed into grotesque, distorted sculptures. Kathy‘s exhibition leaves visitors with mixed feelings of warmth and fright!

Other exhibitions taking place at the same time in Hafnarhús Museum is Richard Serra‘s Áfangar and Magnús Sigurðarson‘s Process & Pretense.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the installation of Richard Serra‘s environmental art piece Áfangar on Vesturey, the western part of Viðey island.

The exhibition at Hafnarhús comprises drawings and prints made by Richard Serra in connection with Áfangar, along with videos of the installation of the piece and an interview with the artist. Guests are urged to take a trip out to Viðey island to see the installation for themselves – it‘s only a 10-minute boat trip from Reykjavík harbour.
