A silky-smooth exhibition

In Gallery D at the Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarhús, young artists who are shaping the scene are invited to hold their first solo exhibition in a public institution. Kristín Helga Ríkharðsdóttir (b. 1993) is the 53rd artist to exhibit in Gallery D. Silkimjúk is a new video installation in which we follow a woman with a desire—or an obsession—for perfectly smooth, silky legs. Kristín Helga works across media, and here, under the curation of Þorsteinn Freyr Fjölnisson, she explores the tension between the natural and the artificial. A beautiful and silky-smooth exhibition…
