An artist talk will be offered at the Art Museum next Saturday, November 23, at 15. Then Freyja Reynisdóttir, project manager, will talk to Einar Fal Ingólfsson about his exhibition Útlit loptinsin – Veðurdagbók, which opened in hall 04 last September. An admission ticket to the museum grants access to the forum.

From the spring of 2022 until the summer solstice of 2023, Einar Falur Ingólfsson represented Iceland in a multinational project about weather, the World Weather Network, which was established by Artangel in London with the participation of art institutions in 28 countries.

For most of the time, Einar Falur was a local artist at Vatnasafn in Stykkishólmi and worked daily on a series of works about weather and time. The backbone of it is the weather diary Ulitt loptin. He took the weather at noon every day and juxtaposed a photograph of the sky, the official weather record at that moment and the weather record of Árna Thorlacius in Stykkishólmi at the same time 170 years earlier. The weather diary will be shown in its entirety as well as other photographic, video and text works.
Einar Falur Ingólfsson is a literary critic and has an MFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and are owned by major art museums in Iceland.
