Exhibition
Nasasjón in Peacock Visual Arts
Peacock Visual Arts proudly presents a selection of work by six Icelandic artists, opening 23 May. The title of the exhibition, Nasasjón, literally means ‘nose-sight’ – having a faint notion of something. Expounding the nuances of minimalism, abstraction and conceptualism, Nasasjón seeks to explore a commonality in their work, capturing, as the title suggests, a shared yet slightly elusive quality. The exhibition will include drawings, prints, videos and sculptural works by Ingólfur Arnarsson, Ívar Valgarðsson, Kristinn G. Harðarson, Ráðhildur Ingadóttir, Sólveig Aðalsteinsdóttir and Tumi Magnússon.
The exhibition extends from work that was originally curated for Gallery Olschewski & Behm in Frankfurt.

Piano
exhibition and performances
The exhibition examines the piano in the context of contemporary society; as an instrument and an experimental platform for composers and musicians but also as the subject of visual artists and choreographers. The participating artists explore different aspects of the instrument; its form, its mechanism, the soundboard and strings, its wooden case, as well as the piano’s history and our perception of it.
The exhibition includes works by Aðalheiður S. Eysteinsdóttir, Björn Roth, Oddur Roth and Einar Roth, Dieter Roth and Björn Roth, Einar Torfi Einarsson, Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir, Margrét Bjarnadóttir, Nikulás Stefán Nikulásson, Pál Ívan Pálsson og Rafael Pinho.

Reykjavík Arts Festival - Árbær Museum
S7 - Suðurgata >> Árbær (not in service)
S7 – Suðurgata >> Árbær (not in service) is an exhibition and publication based on the initiative Gallery Suðurgata 7. The initiative, named after its location, ran from 1977 to 1982 in central Reykjavík. Organized by young artists at the time, it hosted a variety of cultural events, art exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and performances and instigated a platform for critical dialogue with the publication of an art magazine, Svart á hvítu (Black on White). The project is an attempt to examine the history of the initiative and its importance as well as to contextualize it in contemporary art and thus shape a new narrative.
