Affinities of Form: Artistic Convergences in Iceland since 1970
An exhibition focusing on land art, minimalism, and conceptual art, in Iceland from the 1970s to the early 2000s.
The exhibition will feature Icelandic artists, as well as foreign artists who visited Iceland during this period and often formed close relationships with Icelandic artists and collectors.
Organized by guest curator Gavin Morrison and National Gallery curator Pari Stave, the exhibition will bank on the museum’s substantial holdings, alongside key loans from Reykjavík-based private collections.
Among the artists are Roger Ackling, Carl Andre, Birgir Andrésson, Ingólfur Arnarsson, Hamish Fulton, Kristján Guðmundsson, Georg Guðni, Roni Horn, Richard Long, Ragna Róbertsdóttir, Richard Serra, Ívar Valgarðsson, and Lawrence Weiner.
