Brynja Sveinsdóttir and Cecilie Cedet Gaihede offer a guided tour of the exhibition Sculpture / Sculpture. Admission is free and everyone is welcome! The exhibition series Skúlptúr/Skúlptúr is now being held for the fifth time in Gerðarsafn, where the aim is to explore the status of sculptural art in our time. The exhibition series explores the development of three-dimensional art with references to the pioneering work of Gerðar Helgadóttir (1928-1975) within Icelandic sculpture.
The title refers to the exhibition Sculpture/sculpture/sculpture, a joint exhibition of 29 artists that was held in Kjarvalsstaðir in 1994 and gave an important overview of the sculptural art of that time. This fifth exhibition has a different format than before, as it seeks to take a position on sculpture today with a joint exhibition of ten artists. There is not a single common denominator among the artists participating in the exhibition, but in the conversation of their works you can find interesting references to the status of sculpture as an art medium, its potential and its relationship with our contemporary times
