South Iceland Biennale
South Iceland Biennale
The South Iceland
Biennale builds relationships. From a home base at the historic farm
Stóri-Klofi in the Landsveit district, collaborations will be launched with art
museums, galleries, schools, and other cultural institutions in South Iceland.
Local knowledge and creative fields will be brought together for the purpose of
exploring new ways of meeting the challenges of the future: environmental
issues, sustainability, land conservation, innovation, food security, energy
use, tourism, globalism, global warming, rapid technological development,
social change, racism, and political and economic inequality.
We have founded an
art movement aimed at promoting dialogue and interaction on key current topics
in the arts, design, and architecture in an international context. We believe
that the arts will play a leading role in the transformations that are needed
in order to cope with the man-made predicament that confronts world
civilization. Through exhibitions, education, conferences, discussions, publications,
and events, the South Iceland Biennale will make every effort to deepen the
conversation about contemporary battle lines and apply artistic methods towards
innovation and the development of knowledge infrastructures.
