Young Icelandic Art – From Here and Out Into the World

4:15 pm opening speach H.E. the Icelandic Ambassador to Denmark Benedikt Jónsson

The purpose of the exhibition Young Icelandic Art – From Here and Out Into the World is to introduce young talented Icelandic artists. The exhibition in Copenhagen celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Personal Union between Iceland and Denmark. It has been very exciting to visit and select the participating artists. A quest that brought us around in the artistic community in Iceland and confirmed to us, that in Iceland is a growing group of talented artists. It is very characteristic for the artists, that they have all been living in foreign countries and acquired extra experience. The impressions are then transformed to a special Nordic idiom. So far north and yet part of the global world.

The exhibition is curated by Lars Olesen, art historian, mag.art. and arranged in collaboration with the Icelandic Embassy as well as supported by Icelandair
