Episode 343 - HENDI NÆST: ÁSMUND SVEINSSON AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS

Today, RÚV English Radio is in the capital's Ásmundarsafn.

Ásmundar Sveinsson was one of the pioneers of sculptural art in Iceland and designed the building which houses much of his work, mostly himself, in the years 1942-1959.

Hendi næst - https://listasafnreykjavikur.is/en/exhibitions/at-hand - is a joint exhibition brings together the works of Ásmund Sveinsson (1893-1982) and contemporary artists who create works of art with their own hands.

Darren spoke to artist Ragnheiður Gestsdóttir and curator Becky Forsythe to find out more.
