Join Icelandic artist, Erla S. Haraldsdóttir, for a walkabout of her exhibitionIMAGINE VISIONARY ANIMALS
Saturday 1 November at 10:00
This site-responsive exhibition is informed by the hues of materials composing the physical exhibition space of the new wing, as well as by the underscoring of the museum’s core themes – cave paintings and rock engravings. By balancing photorealist and symbolic realism Haraldsdóttir investigates how images can serve as portals – connecting cultural symbols, archetypes, and lived experience across time and place. Through this distinct form of ocular magical realism, the exhibition acknowledges stone surfaces as humankind’s original canvas through an interplay of colour, transparency, light, reflection, and spatial perception.
Erla S. Haraldsdóttir is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work investigates the boundaries between personal memory, ancestral narrative, and collective myth.
Curated by Jonatan Habib Engqvist. Supported by The Icelandic Visual Arts Council.
