Spaces by Artists brings together artist initiated, led and run spaces and projects at The Living Art Museum to emphasize the importance of artist collectivity in the context of the international art, and more specifically in the art scene in Iceland. As a meeting point, the aim of the day is to consider and activate questions related to contemporary artist-run initiatives by exploring, challenging and reconsidering the intersections, pressures and possibilities of these spaces now and for the future. It will be a space to network, to strengthen the foundation of artist collectivity, to imagine this future, and to come together to allow artist-run initiatives to raise their voices. We are interested in creating an open space and initiating a participatory platform where speakers, as well as guests, have the opportunity to share stories, highlight concerns and ask the questions that need to be asked.
