Visual artists have dealt with the concept of home in a variety of ways over the years. Where is one’s home? In the universe, on earth, in Iceland, abroad, in Stykkishólmur, in the neighborhood, in the block, in the house, in the apartment, with your parents, with your children, with your grandparents, in a group of friends, at school, in your leisure activities, at work, in the armchair? Or maybe several places at the same time?

The word home often refers to an environment where we are safe. But some people don’t feel safe in their homes. The reason can be inside the home, e.g. stress, addiction problems and domestic violence, or external threats such as pandemics, poverty or war. Home is not the same for everyone.

We invite you home to a living room of joy and safety, where the artwork hangs on the walls, we invite you to walk in and enjoy art in a warm and homely environment of the library.

This exhibition is in cooperation with Reykjavik Art Museum. Their travelling exhibitions has have mainly been displayed in schools but now they are open for everyone at the Reykjavik City Library. The exhibition is open during the library ‘s opening hours.
