In the Collection of Imper­fection - Unnar Örn J. Auðarson

Unnar Örn’s installation is constructed around a collection of artefacts borrowed from the storage rooms of the Reykjavik City Museum, Museum of Photography and Municipal Archives. The exhibition is intended to reach outside the walls of the art museum and create a dialogue with the methods of cataloguing and the role of museums in present-day society. Along with the objects and artefacts, the exhibition includes works by Unnar Örn that serve as footnotes to ideas about the archiving of nations’ collective memories.
