The Nordic House

(Post)


Hvelfing
Free entry
The multimedia art exhibition (Post) presents artwork between 2005 and 2021 from mainly Nordic artists who question and reflect our time and our future. An underlying theme is the anthropocene. Most of the works depict post-industrial structures that raise questions in how to think about a future.

Artists:

Nana-Francisca Schottländer (DK), Katie Paterson (UK), Marte Aas (NO), Rita Marhaug (NO), Anna Líndal (IS) og Rúrí (IS).


The exhibition is curated by Ruth Hege Halstensen who is a Norwegian curator, art historian and former director of Trafo Kunsthall in Asker. She has been associated with the Master’s program Art in Society at the Oslo Metropolitan University, OsloMet. Halstensen contributes as a critic for Klassekampen, Empirix, Numer, Barnebokkritikk and Periskop.

The exhibition is a part of the Reykjavík Art Festival program 2024.

Acessibilty to the Nordic House is temporarily restricted due to renovations outside. A ramp leads up to the main entrance of the building and from there an elevator goes down to Hvelfing, but at the moment the ramp is restricted by the construction site.
