Children’s Play: Ragnar Kjartansson, the Icelandic artist's first ever exhibition for children.
Taking inspiration from the lavish festivities of European courts from the Rococo period that have since evolved into the modern theatre tradition of ‘dinner and a show’, Kjartansson invites visitors of all ages to create their own version of a theatrical feast. Featuring elaborate stage sets, activities, props and costumes, young visitors can dress up, play, perform or create a scene of their own.
Children’s Play: Ragnar Kjartansson coincides with NGV’s exhibition Ragnar Kjartansson: Mercy, which features eight new and recent video works by the Icelandic artist, which continue to incorporate Kjartansson’s key artistic elements of storytelling, performance and music, which intertwine with his inspirations across films, literature and pop music. Children’s Play: Ragnar Kjartansson is part of NGV’s year-round dedicated children’s program of exhibitions for young people and their families.
