Artist Talk: After the Blizzard

Artist Unndór Egill Jónsson will give a gallery talk about the exhibition After the Blizzard at Ásmundarsafn on Sunday, 25 September at 14h00.

In Icelandic. Registration HERE

Unndór Egill Jónsson exhibits his work in a conversation with the work of Ásmundur Sveinsson. Sculptors from different periods meet in dialogue that offers a new insight into Ásmundur’s heritage and introduces new works by a contemporary artist to the viewers. The museum has been working with Ásmund's legacy in this way for some time now.

Unndór Egill Jónsson (1978) graduated with a bachelor's degree from the art department of the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2008 and completed an MFA from the Valand School of Art in Gothenburg in 2011.
