The National Gallery extends a warm welcome to Berglind Jóna Hlynsdóttir and Sigríður Regína Sigurþórsdóttir, graduate students who will be working within the Vasulka Chamber archive for the next two years. Their research will focus on time-based media, including works from the National Gallery's collection, as well as the Vasulka Chamber archive that is preserved in the museum's research library. The two newly-created positions fall under the definitions of studies at the doctoral level -- one in artistic practice and the other in art history.
The new research programme in art and art history is under the auspices of the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the School of Humanities at the University of Iceland and the National Gallery of Iceland. In the spring of 2024, the entities received a substantial development grant for two years from the University Collaboration under the auspices of the Ministry of Higher Education, Industry and Innovation. The project managers are Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir, visiting professor at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, Ingibjörg Jóhannsdóttir, director of the National Gallery of Iceland, and Æsa Sigurjónsdóttir, professor of art history at the University of Iceland.
