Sunday February 8th at 1 p.m., curators Aldís Arnardóttir and Þórdís Jóhannesdóttir will guide visitors through the ongoing exhibitions of Eggert Pétursson, Redden, and Una Björg Magnúsdóttir, Fill & spill, respectively. The exhibitions feature new works by Una Björg and Eggert that draw attention to both small details and the ways in which everything forms part of a larger whole, whether in the flora of the earth, imagined or real stories, materials, or space.

In Hafnarborg’s main gallery, Una Björg carves out a new space, drawing on the architecture of the gallery itself, which is built around a stately house from 1921 that originally served as both a residence and pharmacy. Traces of this history remain visible, most notably in the curved outer wall of the original building, which remains a distinctive feature of the space. One of the exhibition’s central works plays on this architectural dialogue – a low partition stretches across the room, tracing its contours while defining a new interior within it. Other works, including sculptures, images and works on paper created especially for the exhibition, form a subtle narrative that draws on the space’s inherent qualities, its materiality and light, its possibilities and limitations.

In the lower gallery of Hafnarborg, Eggert presents new works, including paintings made especially for this exhibition, continuing his exploration of Icelandic nature – this time turning his gaze slightly upward, toward the mountain slopes and open sky. The smallest plants become part of a vast landscape, where vegetation and the surface of the earth are transformed into finely tuned compositions that reflect time, light, and the shifting character of the land. The exhibition also includes a series of new prints made in connection with a forthcoming Icelandic translation of Paradise from Dante’s Divine Comedy, where the spiritual and symbolic world resonates with the artist’s grounded vision.

Free entry – everyone welcome.
