This place has the smoogy look as the opening scene of Fargo. Kumiko thought the money was real and went for a hunt. James Bond drove with his car over Vatnaj\u00f6kull and close to Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull, R2-D2 with Chewbacca and some Stormtroopers were seen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For\u00a0Works on Paper\u00a0the artists have developed their\u00a0first collaborative series of drawings and collages, inspired by their\u00a0encounter with a video work at Reykjavik Art Museum, which was composed of short clips taken from various films produced in Iceland. They were mostly Hollywood blockbusters and action films, such as James Bond, Star Wars, Batman, Fast&Furious, and Star Trek. With\u00a0Works on Paper the artists have taken the video\u2019s imagery as a starting point for a new body of work around landscape representation in a digital age. Ideas of landscape are interlaced with character developments, life-style imagery, and close-ups from the fields of cinema and pop-culture. The\u00a0Works on Paper\u00a0series is a part of Falkeling and \u0141uczak’s project\u00a0Emotional Channel.<\/p>\n

This exhibition marks the relaunch of the West Wall gallery, which is located in Skaftfell Bistr\u00f3. The gallery was established in 2003 and hosted many exhibitions until 2014 when it was put on ice.<\/p>\n
