The first guest in the Fine Arts Department's lecture series in spring 2025 is Joe Keys. The lecture is open to all and will take place in lecture hall L193, Laugarnes from 13:00 PM – 14:00 PM.

Joe Keys graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2021. He was born in Newcastle, UK, but has lived in Iceland since 2018.
Joe often works with drawing, sculpture, poetry and the relationship between these media. The drawings are reflections on sculptural space, and are presented as three-dimensional drawings in the context of the space. He works mostly with found materials and leftovers, which he collects, arranges and organizes.
Since moving to Iceland, Joe has worked extensively with printed materials, including books and their history both in Iceland and beyond. This has led to many independent and collaborative publications in conjunction with exhibitions and events, such as Stations of the Cross, ELSE, George and Tammy, Explanation Park and many more.
Joe has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Iceland, the UK, Greece and Finland, to name a few.
