Last week I was at Nordik 2015, an art historical conference arranged every third year. This time we had the great fortune of visiting Reykjavik and Iceland. The conference ended with an excursion to "art and nature", and the photos included in this post is from this four hour long trip. More specifically it is from our first stop at Kópavogur Art Museum dedicated to the sculptor and stained glass artist Gerdur Helgadóttir (1928-1975). 

Though the window you can see the church with on of her more famous stained glass windows. Sadly, it was closed on our visit but we could see some of her drawings of it in the exhibition, Birting (Illumination), also including eight contemporary artists inspired of Helgadòttirs work. You can find more on the museum and the exhibition here: http://english.gerdarsafn.is

I will give you more information on the content of the conference, as well as my paper presentation, in coming posts - promise!
