The French artist Sonia Levy, who last summer staged the exhibition Hvalreki in the Museum in Húsavík, is now working on an exhibition in the Whale Museum. The exhibition builds on her previous exhibition, where she explores and interprets the relationship between humans and whales, using burnt whale bones, modeling whale bones from porcelain and drawing pictures with charred whale bones.
The exhibition will be set up in one of the museum's spaces, and the opening of the exhibition is scheduled for Sunday, June 28.
Sonia has an open studio in the basement of the Whale Museum and in the space behind the museum's lecture hall. The jug will be hot over the Sailor's Day weekend, and we encourage visitors and pedestrians to stop by in the basement and watch the works being created.
