On Saturday, May 24th at 3 PM, a guided tour will be offered of two exhibitions: Time–Space–Material by Þóra Sigurðardóttir and Coexistence by Heimir Hlöðversson. Admission is included in the museum ticket price.
Heimir Hlöðversson is a multimedia artist and filmmaker. He has worked in art and film for over two decades, creating exhibitions, documentaries, and audiovisual experiences for museums in Iceland and abroad.
Coexistence is a state in nature – with no beginning and no end. It is a space of relationships. Forms flow into one another, boundaries blur. Different forces coexist, overlapping, bending, and reacting to each other. The viewer is not a guest, but a participant – the experience lies within the connections themselves. The viewer becomes part of the work, just as they are part of natural coexistence.
Þóra Sigurðardóttir was born and raised in Akureyri. She graduated from Menntaskólinn á Akureyri, the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts, and pursued further studies at the Jutland Art Academy in Denmark. Þóra’s art explores time, space, and material. Her works show how space, bodies, and everyday materials are linked to time, its passage, and our lives. The pieces are rooted in the connection between environment and material, shaped by time and touch. Her art references music, repetition, and rhythm.
In the darkened space of the Art Museum, we are drawn toward a dancing “being” in water that seems to echo our own bodies. Here, we are invited to reflect on the body as animal, flesh, resource, and a subject of imagination and contemplation.
