I am honored to announce that I have been awarded the highest grant, approximately 11,000 Euros, in the spring allocation from the Icelandic Arts Council’s Visual Art Fund. This grant supports the publication of a monograph by Distanz Verlag in Berlin, focusing on my 'Keep Frozen' art practice as a research project. The publication is a collaboration with Gallery Gudmundsdottir in Berlin and will coincide with a solo exhibition at the gallery during Gallery Weekend in Berlin in 2025.
The Icelandic Arts Council is committed to fostering artistic excellence and facilitating artistic dialogue through various initiatives and grants. The publishing grant highlights the organization's dedication to nurturing Icelandic contemporary art talents in the global art community. The Icelandic Art Center is the grant’s facilitator for the Icelandic Arts Council.
