Réttardagur

For some time I have been preparing exhibitions or happenings with the title Réttardagur.

Réttardagur is the magical day in smaller Icelandic communities when sheep are gathered from the mountains. It marks the completion of a circle and the beginning of a new chapter.
I intend to display variations of this theme in 50 exhibitions to celebrate my fiftieth birthday in five years time with hundreds of sculptures of sheep, horses, dogs, farmers and bystanders during the next five years.
Society’s various forms have always been my subject. Two-dimensional at first, my works became three-dimensional in recent years. I have often invited people to participate in my exhibitions. Lecturers, musicians, children, actors, poets and other artists. I like it when something unexpected is added to my work.
In Boekie Woekie I exhibit a few sheep head sculptures, a video and drawings. All in the spirit of the tradition of the month of þorri which is now and when we Icelanders eat smoked and sour lamb meat.
