Ljósabasar 2020
26. Nóvember – 20. Desember 2020


www.ljosabasar.gamla.nylo.is
Opnar á netinu fimmtudaginn langa, 26. nóvember 2020


Opið geymslu- og örsýningarrými í Nýlistasafninu, Marshallhúsinu

Verið hjartanlega velkomin á Ljósabasar Nýlistasafnsins 2020

Ljúkum þessu ólgandi ári saman með hvelli! Ljósabasar 2020 fer fram dagana 26.nóvember til 20. desember. Að þessu sinni mun basarinn eiga sér vettvang á netinu, á síðunni ljosabasar.gamla.nylo.is sem verður gerð opinber á fimmtudeginum langa 26. nóvember kl. 17:00. Þar verður hægt að skoða verkin, kynna sér listamennina sem taka þátt í basarnum og kaupa samtímalist eftir yfir 40 myndlistarmenn, sem öll eru félagar safnsins. Við bjóðum einnig gesti velkomna í Nýlistasafnið, Marshallhúsinu, þar á Ljósabasarinn sér annan samastað með opinni geymslu og örsýningu í safnbúðinni. Þar má líta verk Ljósabasars eigin augum á hefðbundnum opnunartímum safnsins.

Verkin eru jafn fjölbreytt og þau eru mörg en þau tengjast öll ljósinu í orðsins víðasta skilningi: Ljós gerir heiminn sýnilegan og leiðir okkur þannig áfram á ýmsa áfangastaði, rótgróna og raunverulega, háfleyga og ljóðræna, uppspunna og afbakaða. Eftir þetta ár ójafnvægis og umróta er gott að láta listina lýsa upp myrkasta tíma ársins, og jafnvel skreyta eða teygja svolítið á veruleikanum.

Ljósabasar Nýló er fjáröflunarviðburður til stuðnings Nýlistasafninu. Nýlistasafnið, eða Nýló eins og safnið er nefnt í daglegu tali, er listamannarekið safn og sýningarrými. Markmið Nýló er að varðveita og sýna samtímalist og vera vettvangur fyrir tilraunir og alþjóðlega umræðu um myndlist. Nýló hefur verið einn helsti vettvangur fyrir samtímalist á Íslandi og á einstakt safn verka eftir íslenska og alþjóðlega listamenn frá sjötta áratugnum til dagsins í dag.

Áfram Nýló, tilraunagleðin og listin!

13. september kl. 14

Ásta Ólafsdóttur leiðir gesti um yfirlitssýningu sína í Nýlistasafninu sunnudaginn 13. september kl. 14. Það er ókeypis aðgangur og tekið vel á móti öllum. Leiðsögnin verður á íslensku. 

Sýningin Hjartsláttur leiðir saman verk frá rúmlega fjörutíu ára myndlistarferli Ástu, frá námsárum hennar til dagsins í dag. Öll endurspegla þau á sinn hátt óþreytandi eltingarleik Ástu við fjölbreyttar víddir veruleikans. Þá einkum það sem við getum ekki snert og eigum til að líta framhjá í dagsins önn og amstri. Þögnina, tómið, hljóð og tilfinningar, en líka vald, jafnvægi og aðra menningarheima. Aflgjafa sem skilja eftir sig ummerki. Þá verður augljós sú staðreynd að manneskjan er hluti af stærri heild og náttúran er aldrei langt undan. Hún er stöðug og síbreytileg í senn, traustur ferðafélagi. Eins og listin.

Open call
Autumn exhibition 2021 at the Living Art Museum

Opið fyrir umsóknir
دعوة†مفتوحة
Otwarte zaproszenie

For the past few years, the Living Art Museum has sent out an open call for the annual autumn exhibition of the museum. The aim of this open call was to give a platform for the diversity of the Icelandic art scene. In the wake of current civil protests (which have begun with the important voices of black and mixed minority people in the United States, that has now expanded into a global transformation) it has become clear to the museum that we have not fully reflected the diversity of cultures and experiences that characterize the life and art in Iceland. As a first step, to promote diversity, and the recognition and articulation of people’s experiences, the board of Nýló has decided to look further into our annual call for exhibition proposals:

Applications are now open for the Living Art Museum’s autumn exhibition for the year 2021. This call is especially directed at individuals and groups whose voices have so far not received a sufficient sound basis. We encourage people from different backgrounds, whether they are members of the Living Art Museum or not, to submit a proposal. We especially look to the LGBT+ community, Icelanders of foreign origin, mixed Icelanders, immigrant Icelanders, and people who find themselves voiceless within the socio-political structure to share their work with us. In order to ensure diversity, and counteract hidden bias, the board will create a special selection committee.

The Living Art Museum should be a force for change, both due to the Museums status as a recognized museum and public institution, and in light of the museum’s history. The main purpose of the founding of the Living Art Museum in 1978 was, first and foremost, to open the eyes of the art world and the public to the innovative and changing subjects of contemporary artists, and one of the museum’s goals is to serve as a forum for critical thinking and discussion.

With this open application process, we want to counteract any kind of discrimination that takes place in our society today; – such as racial inequality, and the suppression of marginalized groups and cultures.
We want to work for the participation of all, in order to fight against the silencing tactics of oppressive structures, and the “us and the others” way of thinking – to offer stories and topics, that have so far been put aside, to the forefront of the contemporary scene. With this call, we want to promote a multi-voiced, open art scene, which respects the experiences of our creative community.

Practical issues
Both solo and group exhibitions are possible.
The application must be accompanied by a curriculum vitae, together with a short description of the content, and content that the person in question intends to work from in the planned exhibition (maximum 250 words). The proposal shall also include information on technical issues and installation. In addition, five photos of previous works must be included. For time-related works, videos or audio works, insert a link that leads directly to Vimeo, Youtube, or similar services. Please do not email videos or audio works directly; links only. Applications and all relevant material, except for time-related works, must be sent in one coherent PDF document. The files may not be larger than 10 MB.
Applications that do not comply with the requested requirements and guidelines, or if any documents are missing, will not be considered.
Applications must be received before midnight, 4 October 2020, to the e-mail address nylo@gamla.nylo.is marked “application_2021”. Printed applications will not be accepted. Inquiries will be sent to the same email address.

In short:
The application deadline is: 04.10.2020, at 23:59
A response to the application will be received no later than two weeks later
Exhibition period: Autumn 2021 (August-September)

Yfirlitssýning Ástu Ólafsdóttur opnar í Nýlistasafninu

Aug 08 2020 Published by under Uncategorized

Verið hjartanlega velkomin á yfirlitssýningu Ástu Ólafsdóttur í Nýlistasafninu, Marshallhúsinu. Sýningin er opið frá og með laugardeginum 22. ágúst og verður opin á hefðbundnum opnunartímum safnsins, miðvikudaga til sunnudaga frá klukkan 12–18. 
 

Sýningin Hjartsláttur leiðir saman verk frá rúmlega fjörutíu ára myndlistarferli Ástu, frá námsárum hennar til dagsins í dag. Öll endurspegla þau á sinn hátt óþreytandi eltingarleik Ástu við fjölbreyttar víddir veruleikans. Þá einkum það sem við getum ekki snert og eigum til að líta framhjá í dagsins önn og amstri. Þögnina, tómið, hljóð og tilfinningar, en líka vald, jafnvægi og aðra menningarheima. Aflgjafa sem skilja eftir sig ummerki. Þá verður augljós sú staðreynd að manneskjan er hluti af stærri heild og náttúran er aldrei langt undan. Hún er stöðug og síbreytileg í senn, traustur ferðafélagi. Eins og listin. 
 

Ásta Ólafsdóttir er fædd í Reykjavík 1948. Hún stundaði myndlistarnám í Nýlistadeild við Myndlista- og handíðaskóla Íslands og Jan Van Eyck Akademíuna í Hollandi. Listferill Ástu spannar rúmlega 40 ár af sýningarhaldi og  Ásta er ein af virkustu myndlistarmönnum sinnar kynslóðar. Hún er tilraunagjörn í listsköpun sinni, bæði hvað varðar efnisval og myndmál. Hún hefur unnið í fjölbreytta miðla, þar á meðal vídeó og hljóð ásamt því að hún hefur verið virk í textagerð og bókaútgáfu. Ásta hefur miðlað þekkingu sinni með kennslu á öllum kennslustigum og verk hennar og ferill hafa haldist þétt í hendur við vaxandi umsvif kvenna í íslensku myndlistarlífi. 


Það er sérstaklega ánægjulegt að yfirlitssýning Ástu skuli eiga sér stað og stund í Nýlistasafninu, safninu sem hún tók þátt í að stofna á sínum tíma. Allar götur síðan hefur hún tekið virkan þátt í starfssemi safnsins. Hér hélt hún sína fyrstu einkasýningu árið 1986 og í dag er hún heiðursfélagi í Nýló. 


Við hlökkum til að taka á móti ykkur!

Stjórn Sequences mun vera sýningarstjóra/teyminu innan handar á meðan á ferlinu stendur. 

Verkefni sem sýningarstjóri/teymið mun vinna að eru meðal annars:

  • Niðurtaka og lokaskýrslur

Við leitum að aðila/um með sterka listræna sýn og reynslu af skipulagi menningarviðburða. Sequences X mun fara fram í október 2021, en nánari dagsetningar verða ákveðnar í samstarfi við þann sýningarstjóra eða það teymi sem verður fyrir valinu. Hátíðin mun spanna 10 daga (2 helgar, 5 virka daga) en sýningar hátíðarinnar geta varað lengur, í samráði við þá sýningarstaði sem verða fyrir valinu.

Fastir sýningarstaðir hátíðarinnar eru Kling & Bang og Nýlistasafnið, og hefð er fyrir því að hátíðin fari einnig fram í öðrum listamannareknum rýmum í Reykjavík.

Katie Paterson’s exhibits at The Living Art Museum during Reykjavik Arts Festival 2020

Apr 03 2020 Published by under Uncategorized

The Living Art Museum is proud to announce Katie Paterson’s exhibition, The Earth Has Many Keys which will take place during Reykjavik Arts Festival in 2020!

We are extremely proud to be able to present Paterson’s work here in Iceland. During these uncertain times the dates for the exhibition have not yet been set, although we are aiming towards an opening in August. We meet this situation with patience, and are very grateful for the collaboration with the artist and the Reykjavik Arts Festival, where art can surely flourish on its own terms.

Make sure to click here and sign up for the Reykjavik Arts Festival’s mailing list for this exhibition. There we will announce the dates when they have been determined.

Katie Paterson‘s works are certainly imposing, both in terms of scope and inspiration. Her ideas frequently involve transposing the immeasurable into familiar forms, such as clocks, letters, candles and light bulbs. Characterized by a poetic sense of the everyday, her work captures the expanses of outer space and of the human mind, playfully provoking and enthralling us.

Many of the artist‘s works deal directly or indirectly with man‘s effect on nature and the skies, with climate change and the short lifespan of man and earth. They serve as an urgent reminder, challenging us to rethink our relationship with nature.

Katie Paterson‘s collaboration with scientists is unique and has granted her an opportunity to make the intangible physical.

Katie Paterson is a rising star in the international art world who lives and works in Fife and Edinburgh, Scotland. This is her first exhibition in Iceland although she has extensive links to the country.

The Living Art Museum is temporarily closed

Mar 23 2020 Published by under Uncategorized

Dear guests,

The situation changes quickly. In light of stricter public gathering ban the Living Art Museum will be closed as of tomorrow, Tuesday March 24. This is done in order to restrict the corona-virus outrbeak and according to the authorities, the museum will be closed until April 13. However, as experience has shown, this might change but we will let you know, here in the news section of our homepage, when we will open again.

While the museum is closed, the staff of the Living Art Museum will be working solely from home. That means that the office phone will not be answered during this period and all inquiries should be sent to nylo(at)gamla.nylo.is. We will make sure to respond quickly.

Although there will be little life at the office in the coming weeks we have plenty to do, working on with the collection, communication and organising future exhibitions and events. We are delighted to announce that we received a generous support from the Icelandic Museum Council for the development of a new webiste, which will hopefully be launched this year.

Since we are not able to welcome visitors at the museum, we are now working hard, together with Kling & Bang on bringing our current exhibition, Erling Klingenberg by Erling T. V. Klingenberg to those of you sitting at home.

We will also highlight some of our previous exhibitions, selected gems from our collection and other things we might think of. The Living Art Museum’s reading club will continue to provide texts to read at home, and in the coming weeks we will present an exciting collaborative project between us and students from Iceland University of the Arts and the University of Iceland. Stay tuned for more info, to be announced here on our website and our facebook and instagram profiles.

We are looking forward to greeting you yet again at the museum at brighter, corona-free times!

The Living Art Museum during the era of COVID-19 pandemic

Mar 17 2020 Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Guests,

The Living Art Museum will stay open during the ban of public events, but all museum events have been cancelled. We keep a close eye on the development here in Iceland, are extra careful with hygiene and desinfect contact surfaces regularly every day. We monitor the amount of visiting guests and ensure that guests maintain a reasonable distance between them, and have access to wash basins, soap and alcohol.


The museum’s opening hours remain more or less the same, with the exception of special Thursday night openings, which will be cancelled over the next four weeks. The museum is therefore open every Tuesday-Sunday between 12 and 6 pm.

Heimalestur

Lesefni: Understanding Debt as the Basis of Social Life úr bókinni The Making of the Indebtet Man –An Essay on the Neoliberal Condition eftir Maurizio Lazzarato

Patrik Killoran valdi lesefni

Kæru Lestrarfélagar, 
Slagorð síðasta Feneyjartvíærings, „May You Live in Interesting Times“ hefur svo sannarlega gengið eftir. Covid-19 hefur dagskrárvaldið þessa dagana og allir leggja sitt á vogarskálarnar til að hefta útbreiðslu veirunnar, en um leið finna leiðir til að gera lífið ánægjulegra.


Lestrarfélag Nýlistasafnsins hefur því ákveðið að bjóða upp á heimalestur í þessari viku, og hvetjum við fulltrúa safnsins til að ræða um textann á facebook hópnum okkar (Fulltrúar Nýlistasafnsins). Bandaríski myndlistamaðurinn Patrik Killoran, sem hefur verið gestalistamaður við Listháskólann, valdi lesefnið og til stóð að hann myndi stýra umræðum en hann er nú, af skiljanlegum ástæðum, snúinn aftur til heimalands síns.

Open position for an internship at The Living Art Museum

Jan 31 2020 Published by under Uncategorized

The Living Art Museum has an open position for one intern for 3- 5 months during the period May to September. This is the position for an exhibition assistant / administrative assistant.

A three month term allows every intern to see the process of putting together an exhibition from start to finish.

Within these parameters, scheduling is very flexible. All intern positions are unpaid.

Please submit your résumé in good advance of the time you would like to apply for.


This position will involve exhibition installation and assisting our curator on various tasks for our next two exhibitions; solo exhibition of artist Katie Paterson (UK) and retrospective of icelandic artist Ásta Ólafsdóttir. In addition our intern will take care of practical everyday task at the museum such as invigilation of our exhibitions, guiding guests and handling our social media.

In addition to putting up exhibitions, the museum is always involved with a number of special projects, such as programming in and around exhibitions, symposiums and other events. Interns may be specifically assigned to these projects.


The Living Art Museum is a non-profit and artist-run organization, which means that everyone is involved in everything.

Interns must be dedicated, independent, meticulous, creative and interested in culture. Interns are expected to willingly assist in the everyday administrative tasks that are crucial to the running of the museum, such as making coffee, sending e-mails, painting walls and running errands.

All staff members are equally involved with these tasks, which we consider no less important to the museum than putting together exhibitions or researching works from the collection. We particularly encourage applicants curious about all aspects of running an artist-run institution.

Résumés can be sent with the subject line “Internship” to nylo(at)gamla.nylo.is

Opening: … and what then?

Jul 30 2019 Published by under Uncategorized

Welcome to the opening of … and what then? Thursday June 13 2019 at 6 pm

And what then? These words involve a contrasting spectrum of feelings. Wonder, surrender, fear and powerlessness. Excitement, joy and hope. Curiosity and indifference. These different threads all gather in uncertainty.

Uncertainty about what could have been, did or did not take place, and what is yet to come.

Uncertainty which rips us out of the now, towards different destinations and other possible scenarios. And what then?

Exhibiting Artists include:
Andreas Brunner, Eva Ísleifs, Freyja Eilíf, Fritz Hendrik IV, Huginn Þór Arason, Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, Rebecca Erin Moran, Rúna Þorkelsdóttir, Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir, Thorvaldur Thorsteinsson, Þórður Ben Sveinsson

Curator: Sunna Ástþórsdóttir

… and what then? curator talk

Jun 30 2019 Published by under Uncategorized

The Living Art Museum welcomes you to a guided tour of the museum’s current exhibition … and what then? at The Marshall House, Sunday 7th July at 3 PM.

Sunna Ástþórsdóttir, the curator of the exhibition, will provide the tour which is free of charge and open to everyone. The tour will be conducted in Icelandic.

Together and individually the works address the imminent and investigate art as an influencer. What does it tell us about the future? Can art change what is yet to happen? Even many years after the work was created? Does art help us cope with reality or to disappear into different realms? If so, where to? How can art be political? By taking a stand? Or by helping us get away from the everyday? By showing us something that might possibly never happen?

The exhibition will go on until the 4th of August 2019.

Launch event – Isle of Art

Jun 03 2019 Published by under Uncategorized

📚 ☕️ Join us for a get-together at Nýlistasafnið (The Living Art Museum) in the beautiful Marshall House to celebrate the release of Isle of art! 📚 ☕️
28th of may 2019

There’ll be coffee, Belgian chocolate and of course the chance to get your hands on a freshly printed copy.
A wall installation will feature poignant quotes from the book about the state of Iceland’s art scene today, inviting everyone to hang out and join the discussion.

Home

Eternal thanks to our amazing sponsors Icelandair & Reykjavík Roasters 💙

About the book
Writer: Sarah Schug
Photographer: Pauline Mikó with additional contributions by Lilja Birgisdóttir and Ágúst Atlason
Graphic Design: Raya Boteva
Proofreading: Rose Kelleher

Is there a common denominator in Icelandic art? How has the scene changed over the last decades? What does it mean to live, work and create as an artist on a remote island in the north Atlantic? How does such a tiny scene function? What are the highs and lows of living in a small art community? Why would a Paris-based artist decide to run an art space in a remote fishing village here? Why exactly is the scene so vibrant? And how does one deal with the lack of an art market? These are the kinds of questions we asked the artists, curators, gallerists, framers and collectors that we interviewed for this book in February, March, April and August of 2017. We spoke to newbies and oldtimers, Icelanders and foreigners, and created this compendium of our in-depth conversations, a rich canon of different voices from inside the Icelandic art community. A selection of outdoor art pieces, museums and other arty discoveries around the island complete the mosaic. The first of its kind, this book compiles the people, places, and projects defining the scene, which extends far beyond the country’s capital Reykjavík

Rúmelsi #2:Coffee Break by Laumulistasamsteypan

Nov 23 2018 Published by under Uncategorized

Rúmelsi # 2:

COFFEE BREAK

Laumulistasamsteypan

27.11.2018-02.12.2018

Welcome to Rúmelsi #2 at The Living Art Museum: Coffee Break by the artist collective Laumulistasamsteypan. During opening hours guests are welcome to stop by, for just a moment or a little while longer, and take a break with the members of the collective. Laumulistasamsteypan’s Coffee Break will take place from the 27th of November until the 2nd of December.

It’s almost starting, we’re about to do something miraculous in just a second, right after this cup of coffee. Just one more sip and that’s it. Prepare for everything that happens right after this small break – you won’t believe your eyes! But not yet, first we sip our beverage and gather strength. Get into the right mindset, you know, and calm our nerves. Incredible invention, this black bitter bean-brew. However, be careful not to look too deep into the dark liquid, it might stare back.

Before coffee was invented, people didn’t know how to take breaks. Finally there was this productivity-promising, steaming excuse to hide behind, as opposed to the idea of sitting down without an agenda. That would be absurd – downright foolish. Then there were people that didn’t drink coffee so they invented the cigarette in order to take breaks as well. It’s very important not to take it too easy, you see, never to be completely idle./p>

Laumulistasamsteypan býður þátttakendum uppá tækifæri til þess að breyta sínum skapandi vendipunkti um stund, marinerast með öðrum heilum og beina allri sinni orku og athygli að því verkefni sem liggur fyrir hverju sinni. Samsteypan getur virkað sem listrænt vítamín fyrir þátttakendur sem síast inn smám saman og látið á sér kræla á óvæntum sviðum, jafnvel mánuðum eftir að samvistinni lýkur.

Laumulistasamsteypan consists of a group of artists, annually and temporarily entwined on a small island called Hrísey in Eyjafjörður. It is a residency, a cooking club, an oddity, a festival, an un-broadcasted reality TV show, a reunion, an expedition, a radio station and a transnational project meeting, but first and foremost a summer camp for restless artists.

Helena Aðalsteinsdóttir and Ásgerður Birna Björnsdóttir initiated Laumulistasamsteypan (the Sly Art Association or the Hush-hush Art Alliance) in 2014. It is an amoeba that shifts shape according to the needs of the group and its organisers, sometimes its tentacles expand abroad while on other occasions it shrinks down to its smallest core.

Members of Laumulistasamsteypan 2014-2018: Ástríður Jónsdóttir, Sjuul Joosen, Sara Björg Bjarnadóttir, Arna María Kristjánsdóttir, Helena Aðalsteinsdóttir, Susan van Veen, Ásgerður Birna Björnsdóttir, Borghildur Tumadóttir, Gunnar Gunnsteinsson, Catoo Kemperman, Timna Tomisa, Helene Johanne Christensen, Simon Becks, Gunnar Örn Egilsson, Harriet Lansdown, Bára Bjarnadóttir, Bergur Thomas Anderson, Simon Brinck, Minne Kersten, Logi Leó Gunnarsson, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir, Natasha Taylor, Sjoerd van Leuuwen, Kristján Guðjónsson, Hrefna Guðmundsdóttir, Anton Logi Ólafsson, Sophie Lingg, Annahita Asgari, Eline Harmse & Thom van Hoek.
