Gallery Talk with Markús

Markús Þór Andrésson, chief curator, will have a guided tour of the exhibition Our Art where the installation by Ívar Valgarðsson has taken over on Saturday 4. November at 14h00.

The Installation by Ívar Valgarðsson, was one if the highest voted artworks in the election Our Art, where the public voted for their favourite artwork from the museum's collection. It got a total of 181 votes and was in 12th place amongst the highest-scoring artworks.

Due to the nature of the installation, which takes up the entire East Gallery of Kjarvalsstaðir, it could not be included among other works in the Our Art exhibition. It was therefore decided to give it space for one extra exhibition weekend. Ívar's installation was shown at Kjarvalsstaðir in 1991 and attracted a lot of attention from both visitors and critics.
