The arrival in 2003 of artist-led Kling & Bang brought a whole new set-up for Reykjavik’s creative scene. Ten artists from very different backgrounds devised a mission ‘to introduce emerging and established, national and international artists and their works, that challenge the context and content of creative thinking’. The members of Kling & Bang display their own art, as well as collaborating with exhibitors to produce thought-provoking pieces. One such exhibitor is Ragnar Kjartansson, who in the past has shown a nine-channel video installation at the gallery, featuring portraits of bohemian friends, including musicians from Reykjavik.
