Group exhibition
Creation of Childhood 2016
Akureyri Art Museum, Ketilhús
March 5th - April 24th 2016
This is the third exhibition under the title of Creation of Childhood. It was put up in order to stimulate creative work and creative thinking for all school children from the age of two to sixteen. Participants each time are children, working artists, and the Toy Exhibition at Friðbjarnarhús. Creation of Childhood is therefore a cooperation under constant development and each exhibition is independent and special. The exhibition has raised well deserved attention and is unique in regards to cooperation between artists and children. The exhibition will also display works from a workshop, which was held in relations to Creation of Childhood 2015, with the instructors Erwin van der Werve and Þóra Sólveig Bergsteinsdóttir.
This year’s participants are: The preschool and elementary school of Hrísey, the preschools Hólmasól, Sunnuból and Pálmholt, the elementary schools Naustaskóli and Síðuskóli, The Toy Exhibition at Friðbjarnarhús, and the artists Áki Sebastian Frostason, Anne Balanant, Björg Eiríksdóttir, Elsa Dóra Gísladóttir, Egill Logi Jónsson and James Earl Ero Cisneros Tamidles. Curator: Guðrún Pálína Guðmundsdóttir.
