Contemporary artist Tumi Magnússon has opened a solo exhibition titled "Herefrom Thereto Therefrom Hereto" (Héðan þangað þaðan hingað) at the Reykjanes Art Museum in Keflavík, Iceland. Curated by Gavin Morrison, the show marks a significant return for both the Copenhagen-based artist and the U.S.-based curator to the Icelandic art scene. The exhibition features a dialogue between Magnússon’s early post-conceptual paintings from the late 1990s and his more recent explorations in video, sound, and digital imagery.
The exhibition serves as a sensory meditation on the Heraclitean philosophy that everything is in a constant state of flux. By juxtaposing older works with new media, Magnússon explores themes of movement, repetition, and the passage of time, suggesting that physical forms and artistic mediums are inherently temporary. The show highlights the evolution of Magnússon’s practice while maintaining a consistent conceptual thread regarding the transient nature of existence.
