Welcome to a guided tour of the exhibition Is This North? Sunday 26th January at 2pm. 

Curator Daría Sól Andrews with artists Marja Helander and Gunnar Jónsson gives a tour through the exhibition Is This North. The guided tour will take approximately an hour and will be in English. Questions in Icelandic are welcome. 

What are the boundaries and delimitations of “The North”? Where do we find the borders of the Arctic? What characterizes those who call the Arctic their home? Is their work always inherently influenced by this connection to a Nordic home? The group exhibition delves into these questions, presenting work by artists from the far-reaching North. Exhibiting artists include Gunnar Jónsson, Anders Sunna, Máret Ánne Sara, Inuuteq Storch, Nicholas Galanin, Dunya Zakha, Marja Helander, and Maureen Gruben.

Access to Hvelfing exhibition hall is via stairs on the outside and with an elevator from the atrium. A ramp leads to the front door from the parkinglot, an automatic button opens the door. The elevator is on your right when you enter the atrium. Accessible restrooms are on the main floor.
