«Cold Hearts 3: Foreign Relations»

Curated by Deirdre Corley & Kelly Shindler

 

One of the major elements foregrounding this program is collaboration, which pervades the artistic, musical, and filmic output in Iceland today.
From the newly refashioned pop stylings of the well-known band mum to the unique aesthetic visions of the latest crop of young multidisciplinary visual artists and filmmakers—whose work is shown at galleries as well as at festivals like Sundance and Clermont-Ferrand—this collection reflects the exuberant multifaceted spirit of not only the Package Deals’ ethos but, naturally, Iceland itself.
And Steypa, the new documentary on contemporary Icelandic art is brought to you by two Icelandic expats, Markus Thor Andresson, currently living in Berlin, and Ragnheidur Gestsdottir, a resident of NYC.
