Intimacies of the Everyday
February 12th, 2 PM
Specialist led tour about the group exhibition Intimacies of the Everyday.

The exhibition is curated by Pari Stave, head curator for exhibitions at the National Gallery of Iceland. The works in Intimacies of the Everyday were selected from discrete series within each artist’s practice and represent decades-long and ongoing preoccupations with photographing the people and places closest to home. The exhibition is organized around the unifying idea that certain images can only be achieved by close, attentive, and sustained observation.
