The works are all in the collection of the Reykjavík Art Museum. Presentation\, mediation and education aims to open up the world of art as it appears today for younger audiences. Along with the exhibition\, there is a rich program as well as digital dissemination. “Abrakadabra” is a word deriving from ancient languages that means: What I say becomes a reality. This is a magic word that describes how artists’ ideas become works of art. \nThe Reykjavík Art Museum’s collection houses a large number of works of art\, with about seventeen thousand registered works and sketches of various kinds. When acquiring works of art into the collection\, a choice is made that reflects the diversity of artistic creation at any given time. The exhibition Abrakadabra aims to share the main elements that are found in the creative field of today. What characterizes today’s art? What are the artists’ subjects\, methods\, materials and challenges?

With a city bench in the middle of the gallery space\, it resembles an observation platform and the landscape might seem as an existent view. However\, things are not always as they seem. Shapelessness\, entropy and the feeling of letting go are recurring themes in the artist’s works. For this exhibition Claire contemplates the connection between body\, landscape and nature\, asking questions like; Where do we place ourselves within/against the landscape? Where does the body end and the landscape begin? In her work\, Claire is preoccupied with such in-between conditions; what is outside and what is inside\, what is and what is not\, using visual analogy as a tool to express her thoughts and imagination. \nClaire Paugam was born in France in 1991 and is currently based in Reykjavík. Since graduating from the Iceland University of the Arts’ MFA program in 2016\, she has exhibited in various art institutions in Iceland and abroad. While primarily focusing on her own multidisciplinary practice\, Claire is a part of an artist duo which creates installations and stage designs. She is the recipient of the Motivational Art Prize 2020 delivered by the Icelandic Art Prize and a board member of The Living Art Museum. \nClaire Paugam is the 44th artist to exhibit her work in the D-hall exhibition series at Reykjavík Art Museum since 2007\, a venue where up-and-coming artists in the Icelandic art scene hold their first solo exhibition in a public museum.

The whole Hafnarhús becomes the setting for a powerful exhibition of new works by young artists who may be considered to be in the lead for their generation\, and assumptions can also be made about the larger context of Icelandic and international contemporary art. It’s been a while since we checked in with what’s brewing among the fastest growing and most prominent artists and reflects subjects and approaches of the present. \nThe title of the exhibition is Iðavöllur. It is borrowed from Völuspá and occurs twice in the poem. Iðavöllur is the place where the gods meet when the world is constructed and then reassemble at following Ragnarök to build a new world. Hafnarhús takes on the role of such a meeting place\, as a location for creative artists in the maelstrom of change at the start of the new millennium. The theme of the exhibition is the creative and transformative power contained in the work of artists and it reflects diverse subjects at a time of technological and social transformation. \nThe artists are selected based on how they react to the present and how their perspective influences the perspective of the viewer. These artists have shaped the Icelandic art scene at the start of the new century. People of this generation have a unique position because of the junction they stand at: They fall between the X and Y generations\, at the birth of the millennium generation. The artists remember a world without internet and smartphones\, they experienced the economic collapse and the MeToo revolution\, they sense the boundary between geochronological age and the Anthropocene and are faced with a climate catastrophe. They participate in building an art scene which is undergoing a professionalisation with the arrival of art academies\, international galleries and art history publications. They represent a generation who deals with increased speed\, more flow of information\, blurry borders\, fluctuating gender\, changes in communications\, new technology – all while still remembering the way it used to be. In a sense\, they are experiencing the end of the world and contributing to a new beginning. \nNew entrance to Hafnarhús! Enter through the courtyard – from Naustin (between Hafnarhús and Tollhús).
