Jón Proppé :
A Man of Few Words: Jón Laxdal
Semiotics have taught us how arduous the path is from text to language and Jón Laxdal inserts himself neatly into this process, touching off sparks of new understanding.

Sigrun Sandra Ólafsdottir :
The Weather Writing of Gudrun Kristjansdottir
In her work, Guðrún has been consistently moving within nature, making expeditions from mountain to mountain.

Christian Schoen :
A Restless Spirit: Ragnar Kjartansson
In Kjartansson’s works the imaginary element, in this case performed theatrically, collides with the hard, physical reality.

LIST is Reborn in the New Year

Editorial

As promised in our last issue, LIST Icelandic art news is now being relaunched with a new and clearer design and gradually expanding content. The concept of the journal has developed with the success of the first few months since the founding of CIA.IS – Center for Icelandic Art. The need for easily accessible information and news in English is clear and the interest in all aspects of Icelandic art is high, with curators, journalists and artists from around the world turning to CIA.IS for assistance and guidance in learning about and approaching Icelandic artists. This leads to new opportunities for the artists and opens up the creative range of Iceland’s visual arts to a wider international public.



List: Icelandic Art News is published by the Center for Icelandic Art, a cooperative project of Iceland's museums and artists' organisations. List is edited by Christian Schoen and Jón Proppé. If you wish not to receive announcements of our new issues - or you want to contact us for any other reason - please send a mail to list@cia.is.
