FRESH WINDS INTERNATIONAL ART FESTIVAL, GARDUR, ICELAND, december 2013 & january 2014

Fresh Winds in Garður

The International Art Festival "Fresh Winds in Garður" will be held for the third time in Iceland from 21. December 2013 till January 26. 2014.

The theme of the Festival this year is “Vastness” under the artistic direction of Mireya Samper. 

The landscape surrounding the fishing village of Garður, made of lava fields and pastures, is open to winds from the Atlantic ocean, from the north, south, and west. 

This is the ideal place to watch the midnight sun.

"Á milli flóðs og fjöru" is an allegory of the hard and dramatic process of settlement
 of the first Icelanders.

The old lighthouse´s reality is as an object of symbolic character, 

which marks the boundary between the sea (random space organic chaos, divine, etc.) 

and the land (specific space, non-organic, organized, human, etc.).
