Á þessari samsýningu mætast verk Ásmundar Sveinssonar (1893-1982) og samtímalistamanna sem skapa myndverk með eigin höndum og nýta rótgrónar handverkshefðir við listsköpun sína. Sýningin endurspeglar vaxandi áhuga samtímalistamanna sem og áhorfenda á handverki en jafnframt verður horft til baka til þess að gera grein fyrir því hvernig arfleifð Ásmundar Sveinssonar endurómar í framúrstefnulegri tjáningu samtímans.

ATH! Leiðsögnin er á ensku.

In this exhibition works by Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982) meet works by a selected group of contemporary artists that are not limited to, but come into contact with, and apply various craft-informed traditions, handwork practices, traditional skills and techniques. Resonating with the growing acknowedgement of handwork and craft in contemporary art practices, the exhibition celebrates Ásmundur‘s movement through materials, technical boundaries and use of his own hands in making.

Free entrance with a museum ticket and for holders of Annual Pass/Culture Pass.

Sunday 5 May at 14h00, artists Klemens Hannigan and Carissa Baktay will have an artist talk in English on their exhibition At Hand at Ásmundarsafn.
