Is it possible to use scientific methods to create a work of art? A fun art workshop in the House of Collections, working in the spirit of artists who in one way or another apply scientific principles to their artistic practice. 

The Gallery encourages families to visit and ponder the art on their own terms. We also offer diverse programming on a regular basis with an emphasis on enabling families to enjoy time together in creative ways, whether through live guided tours or custom workshops. All events are advertised specially in connection with exhibitions.

Blue is This Little Flower

An expert-led tour
In the exhibition Multipolar, the artist Anna Rún Tryggvadóttir turns her attention to the earth´s magnetic field. This invisible magnetic field is the precondition for all life on earth because it protects the atmosphere from the poisonous rays of the sun. Rock strata show that the magnetic poles of north and south have been shifting since the origin of the earth and the four cardinal directions we use today, north, south, east and west, are therefore only a temporary phenomenon. How humans experience this inexplicable uncertainty becomes Anna Rún‘s subject matter in a holistic installation of two-dimensional and sculptural works. 

The events calendar is aimed at senior citizens and is composed of specially designed tours as well as discussions with the museum´s experts on fine art, ongoing exhibitions and the work of the National Gallery of Iceland. The events create opportunities for guests to approach art and our national heritage from different perspectives. The National Gallery´s Quality Time events are always accompanied by coffee and pastries. The pastries are contributed by Bread and Co. which sponsors the project.

Multipolar

Iron, Linen, Charcoal and Chalk 
 An expert-led tour 
 The exhibition features three-dimensional works and a video work by Þóra Sigurðardóttir that have never been exhibited before. They are the product of the artist´s observations dating back to 1992. The source is the rhythm of daily life, quotidian subjects and space. Abandoned houses; material memory and its properties; a journey and a process of transformation. Iron, linen, charcoal and chalk. Layering, points of intersection, two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures, framework. Calendar. An awareness of the possibility that a rule might break, the center of gravity might crumble, and chaos might ensue.

Iron, Linen, Charcoal and Chalk

With the establishment of the Vasulka Chamber, the National Gallery of Iceland directs its attention to the preservation of video and multimedia art. As a leading museum in visual art, the National Gallery plays a critical role in the preservation of Icelandic visual art. This is no less true of video and multimedia art than it is of art that is created with more conventional techniques.  Vasulka Chamber is a collaboration with Steina and Woody Vasulka and they have donated a large part of their digital archive.
