About Looking
All week — Gallery GAMMA
Naked women drawing other naked women—nudes drawing nudes—is the impetus for this exhibit. The artists’ goal was not to capture reality but rather just to learn how to look. “Being naked isn’t easy. Even when you know and trust each other, it’s challenging,” one of the artists told The Grapevine. “But when you’re naked like this and free yourself of negative thoughts towards yourself, some gates open up. You reach a more pure creativity, without the complexity of acting.” HJC & JR
Gallery GAMMA is open only on working days, between 11:00 and 16:00. The exhibition runs until May 11th
The Long Apartment Block in Upper Breiðholt
All Week — National Museum Of Iceland
Spanish artist David Barreiro chose a specific apartment in Reykjavík’s neighbourhood of Breiðhólt to document the experiences of immigrants settling in Iceland. With a series of photographs of the building and the apartments, Barreiro candidly depicts the lives of individuals who’ve come and gone, leaving their unique mark on the place along the years. This exhibition runs until May 27th. AD
