Weaving Cosmologies – Dreymendur og draumgjafar is a single exhibition unfolding across two locations; Skaftfell and Þula. Curated by Þórhildur Tinna Sigurðardóttir, the exhibition brings together works by Gerður Helgadóttir, Kristín Morthens, Hayden Dunham, Cecilia Fiona and Morehshin Allahyari.

Their individual practices differ, but a shared thread runs through their work. They intersect through religious worldbuilding, embodied ways of making, speculative fiction and historical research. Their practices are deeply devotional: they are committed to making art in order to better fathom their human and beyond-human existence. This tendency reaches beyond their material explorations in sculpture, video, sound, textile, installation, painting and ritual, extending into the processes through which new works take form.

The artists create works that become markers in their search for meaning and purpose. They are dreamers, dreamgivers and weavers.

Openings
26 September 2026 — Þula, Grandi
3 October 2026 — Skaftfell, Seyðisfjörður

A publication accompanying the exhibition is forthcoming in 2027.

Weaving Cosmologies – dreymendur og draumgjafar is a single exhibition unfolding across two locations; Skaftfell and Þula. Curated by Þórhildur Tinna Sigurðardóttir, the exhibition brings together works by Gerður Helgadóttir, Kristín Morthens, Hayden Dunham, Cecilia Fiona and Morehshin Allahyari. On display are historical works, commissioned works and new renditions of installations adjusted by the artists specifically for Weaving Cosmologies.

The practitioners' individual artistic approaches differ, but a shared thread runs through their work.

Their practices are deeply devotional: they are committed to making art in order to better fathom their human and beyond-human existence. This tendency reaches beyond their material explorations in sculpture, video, sound, textile, installation, painting and ritual, extending into the processes through which new works take form.

Anna Rún Tryggvadóttir
Opens her solo exhibition Jarðvegur / Earth
This Saturday, 17-19

From text by Becky Forsythe about the work:

What happens when the body becomes a way of reading the landscape? Not as a metaphor, but as a sensory instrument. In Anna Rún’s drawings, land is not simply seen; it is inhabited, remembered and felt. The body becomes a measure of environmental experience, just as the landscape becomes a record of movement, vulnerability and change. The works suggest a form of somatic knowledge—an understanding accumulated through sensation, proximity, memory, and lived experience rather than detached observation. taken in Marshallhúsið by @thula.gallery

Curated for @chart_artfair
Booth #11
@steinunnthorarinsdottir
@tollimorthens

‘Weathering’ is a duo presentation by Þula for CHART 2026. In Tolli Morthens’ oil paintings of the Icelandic landscape - depicting the highlands and glaciers - the raw power and vastness of nature come vividly to life. The sculptures of Steinunn Þórarinsdóttir, portraying contemplative human figures, introduce a quiet dialogue between humanity and its surroundings. Together, these mediums create a multifaceted conversation about presence, perception, and the profound relationship between humans and their environment. taken in Kunsthal Charlottenborg by @thula.gallery

Meet the artists at 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕

Thordis Adalsteinsdottir (b.1975)
Reykjavik, Iceland, lives and works in Normandie and New York. BFA from the Icelandic academy of arts and Universidad de Barcelona in 1999. MFA from the School of visual arts, New York in 2003. Represented by Specta Gallery in Copenhagen, Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles and Nunu Hung fine arts in New York and Taipei. Had a solo exhibition at the Reykjavik Art Museum in 2006 and was in the Carniege Art Award exhibition in 2008. Recipient of the Pollock-Krasner award in 2025, the New York Foundation of the Arts fellowship award in 2012, the Socrates Sculpture Park NYC fellowship in 2013, and Art Omi Residency in New York 2006. Artist in residence and guest lecturer for one year at Chiang Mai University, Thailand 2013-2014 and Artist in residence in Luzhunan residency, Taiwan in 2016.

Thordis Adalsteinsdottir is an Icelandic painter whose work blends playful surrealism with dark social critique. Educated at the Icelandic Academy of Arts and the School of Visual Arts in New York, she creates flat, expressive scenes populated by anthropomorphic animals, disjointed human figures, and everyday objects—milk cartons, smartphones, mushrooms—that double as potent visual metaphors. Her paintings frequently explore themes of ecological collapse, digital dependency, consumerism, and societal anxiety, often drawing inspiration from her immediate environment, conversations, the news and current events. Despite their cartoonish appearance, her compositions evoke a sense of dread, absurdity, and melancholic humor.
Her visual language is rooted in repetition and symbolic layering—images of dogs strapped with bombs, cats spraying milk, and polar bears drinking beer recur across her canvases. She uses these motifs to highlight the surreal nature of modern life, offering a kind of apocalyptic folklore for the digital age. Through her distinct style, Adalsteinsdottir captures a world teetering between the whimsical and the catastrophic.

Meet the artists at 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕

Sigga Björg Sigurardóttir (b.1977)
is known for her imaginative drawings, installations, videos and books. She has created a unique visual world where fantasy, humor and horror go hand in hand.
In her works, she threads the emotional life in all its chaos and creates moods that are almost impossible to put into words, but with her characteristic style she manages to express the most subtle nuances. In Sigga Björg’s drawings she mixes ink splashes and randomness with fine precision and patterns. Her works are often created equally on the walls of showrooms and on paper/canvas.

Drawing is her primary medium but video also plays a big roll in her practice. In her videos she uses technically primitive methods, stop motion video, to record the process of creating a drawing, frame by frame, with a camera facing down on her drawing table.
Sigga Björg lives and works in Reykjavik. Her works have been exhibited widely abroad and in all major art museums and art spaces in Iceland. Sigurdardóttir’s works are in the collections of all major art museums in Iceland as well as in art collection in the Nordic countries and widely in Europe.

“To exist is a process of constant transformation. In my practice I engage in this transformation and push myself to see something new every day. Through a process of persistent drawing I explore the push and pulls of human emotion and behaviour and draw attention to the often blurred boundaries of the civilized human and wild beast. I am drawn to nature and the unpredictability of it´s behavior and appearance. Irregular shapes with immense details occupy our surroundings and create incomprehensible narratives, before metamorphosing into something completely different.
The works travel between figuration and abstraction in a visual dialogue about the countless units that make us human.”

Meet the artists at 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕

Petra Hjartardóttir (b. 1992)
is a visual artist based in Reykjavík. She holds an MFA in Sculpture from Yale School of Art (2019) and a BFA in Fine Art from Hunter College in New York (2016), having also completed a foundation program at the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts in 2012.

Petra works with silver-smithing, embroidery, and other traditional crafts. Her practice draws inspiration from old books, newspapers, archaeological objects, and memory. However, the works are not meant to haunt or resurrect the past - they emerge fresh and vital from the decaying soil of history. Her focus lies on overlooked fragments in the immediate environment, where quiet details are transformed into meaningful presence.

She has exhibited in Iceland, the United States, and Italy, with recent solo and duo exhibitions at Harbinger, Kannski, SÍM Gallery, and AiR Sandnes. Petra has participated in several international residencies and received numerous grants and awards supporting her education and artistic development.
