I want to see the art that might unexpectedly surprise me, move me or make me feel hopeful about the scene. I was in the city for a few days before heading north recently, but hadn’t managed an exhibition crawl. At the time, my son was ten months old and still breastfeeding, so outings without him were rare and brief. I enjoy bringing him to openings, he was six weeks old with me installing his first show in the east, but conversations with artists and colleagues can be difficult to navigate, not only because of the logistics around a baby, but also my ADHD, which remains undiagnosed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cabe1353a58c11805180f1/cbbba031-ba57-453a-959a-5673358f727f/Screenshot+2026-04-25+at+08.27.55.png Articles - The many beating hearts of Bonita  - As an Icelander, parts of the show struck deeply, references to my youth, familiar music, shared symbols. At moments, I found myself unexpectedly emotional. Still, woven through this familiarity, were elements that felt foreign enough, yet uncannily close, entangled with overlapping cultural references and emotional registers. My own lived experience seemed to flicker at the core of the work, alongside Hugo’s, shaped by love, migration, and the tension of belonging both here and elsewhere, in the global South. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cabe1353a58c11805180f1/66e00964-dfc9-4414-9e17-5ef3c8e528f9/Screenshot+2026-04-25+at+08.28.24.png Articles - The many beating hearts of Bonita  https://www.kokok.is/blog/locating-the-sningarstjri monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://www.kokok.is/blog/the-canon-in-question-carl-andre-at-the-national-gallery monthly 0.5 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cabe1353a58c11805180f1/8b05b667-925b-41cb-a171-552fc5f65fb6/carl+andre.jpg Articles - The Canon in Question: Carl Andre at the National Gallery - Make it stand out Installation view at the National Gallery. https://www.kokok.is/blog/curating-can-make-wishes-real monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://www.kokok.is/blog/troubling-care monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://www.kokok.is/blog/what-even-is-a-sningarstjri monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://www.kokok.is/blog/koks-new-years-wishes-at-nl-mDJU5 monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://www.kokok.is/blog/l9iv442kxrlga2ylyrpleknhb0gxa0 monthly 0.5 2026-02-19 https://www.kokok.is/blog/koks-semi-festo monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://www.kokok.is/exhibitions-and-events daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://www.kokok.is/exhibitions-and-events/conversations-on-curating monthly 0.5 2026-03-03 https://www.kokok.is/exhibitions-and-events/event-one-lazzd monthly 0.5 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68cabe1353a58c11805180f1/1765365490723-UVY283OKSCFTW7D6CJPD/KOK+%283%29.png Events - KoK launch - Join us as we launch KOK, an open curatorial collective and platform for conversation, curiosity, and connection in the Icelandic art scene. KOK moves between its online home, in person, and the art spaces of Reykjavík, creating pockets for conversation wherever it lands. It welcomes frustrations, hopes, and reflections, and celebrates the sparks of excitement and inspiration in the art scene. For our first gathering, we invite curators, artists, organisers, and anyone interested in the arts to join us and respond to the question: What conversations do you wish there was more space for in the art scene? Drop by to, reflect, submit anonymous messages or wishes for the upcoming New Year, and help shape the conversations that KOK can carry forward. illustration by Lu Fraser. https://www.kokok.is/about daily 0.75 2026-03-07
