Title

Hallgrímur Helgason, Falling in Love '99

Exhibiton catalouge: Hallgrímur Helgason, Usli / Havoc&nbsp;
Havoc is the eighth exhibition in the Reykjavík Art Museum’s autumn exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir. These mid-career retrospectives survey work by artists who have already made valuable contributions to the history of Icelandic art—and who presumably have much more to offer. Our aim is to explore a wide range of subjects, conceptual approaches, and media, and on this occasion, we encounter painting as a platform for storytelling and social critique. As always, it is our intention at the Reykjavík Art Museum that these exhibitions and catalogues will help sustain the ongoing attention that Icelandic artists deserve.&nbsp;
