Exhibition Opening: Threads

On Friday, 6 September, from 4-6 pm, the new Special Exhibition "Threads" will open at the National Gallery of the Faroe Islands.

"Threads" is an exhibition featuring five installations created by five contemporary Faroese artists. The artists are Randi Samsonsen, Jóhan Martin Christiansen, Maibritt Marjunardóttir, Ragnhild Hjalmarsdóttir Højgaard, and Alda Mohr Eyðunardóttir. In their own spaces and with their own approaches, they present works of art that explore the thread—both conceptually and materially. The result is an exhibition with diverse expressions, addressing various socio-political themes.

Why is it relevant to discuss societal issues through knots, braids, and twists? Why is a fabric particularly meaningful when talking about personal stories? And how can a thread lead to discussions that help us understand the present? These are some of the questions that this exhibition brings to the forefront.

Program:

Kirstin Helgadóttir, curator, will welcome and introduce the exhibition.
Refreshments and snacks will be available.


You are warmly invited to the National Gallery of the Faroe Islands on Friday, 6 September, at 4 pm.
