Exhibition opening: Anchoring Ground – Iceland Academy of the Arts graduation exhibition

Eighty BA students from the departments of Fine Art and Design and Architecture will show their works in four out of six exhibition halls at Hafnarhús. The exhibition will open Saturday 23 April at 2 p.m.

The works of the exhibition reflect learning, research and artistic creation during the last three years. Anchoring Ground stretches through the galleries and halls of the Museum. The exhibition is named after Bragi Ólafsson´s eponymous book of poetry from 1993. The anchoring ground is an indefinite place offshore, a provisional harbor, where ships cast anchor temporarily on their travels around the world. Students take over the museum in a similar way, stopping for a short time and then each will go their own way.
