"From Another Shore: Recent Icelandic Art" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Scandinavia House
Media: Painting, Sculpture, Installation
This survey of contemporary Icelandic art from the National Gallery of Iceland includes sculpture, installation, painting, photography, and videos by 20 of Iceland’s most acclaimed artists. No strangers to the international art scene, they draw vitality and creativity from the contrast between the majestic landscape of their isolated island nation and the bustling energy of cosmopolitan cities like New York.
