On Monday the 3rd of April at 20:00 an open lecture by Guillaume Bijl will be held at the Reykjavík Art Museum; Hafnarhús under the umbrella of Talk Series.

Guillaume Bijl is here in Iceland for his first visit and will on that occasion give a lecture on his art and career at Reykjavík Art Museum - Hafnarhús and will be a guest at The Iceland Academy of the Arts.  He will also show an installation at Mengi art space at Odinsgata 2 on Friday the 31st of March.

Bijl (born 1946, in Antwerp) is a Belgian installation artist. He is a self-taught artist with background in theater. From the second half of the 1970s he started to create spatial objects and was researching in finding alternatives for conceptual art. Bijl's first installation was a driving school, set in a gallery-space in Antwerp in 1979, accompanied by a manifesto calling for the abolition of art centers, and replacing them with 'socially useful institutions'.

The TALK Series is a collaborative project between the Icelandic Art Center, Iceland Academy of the Arts and the Reykjavík Art Museum. Since the year 2012 artists, thinkers and curators have been invited to Iceland to teach, talk and get to know the local art scene.

The presentation is in English and free for all.
