This exhibition features work from approximately 1900-1960 by Icelandic artists, all made during the period in which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves.

This exhibition is based on Þorgður Ólafsdóttir's art research. She reflects on phenomena related to the Anthropocene and our ideas about cultural and natural heritage.

The artist Hreinn Friðfinnsson made photographs, text-based works, bas-reliefs, and installations from found materials. Working from the 1970s onward, he referred to ideas about man's position in relation to time, eternity, and the universe.

Each of Jónsi's sculptural works is a comprehensive world where space, sound, light, and aroma form an unbroken whole. Nature is at the fore, both as subject and material.
