MAGIC opens on September 6 at 18:00 at marvaða (Grandagarður 5), showing films Volcano Saga (1989) by Joan Jonas, Women and Smoke, California (1971-72) by Judy Chicago, and HEX (2025) by Katrín Helga Andrésdóttir.
The artists are bound by a shared invocation of magical thinking as an artistic method. Each work reclaims ritual, myth, and enchantment as strategies for making sense of lived experience. Across generations, these artists demonstrate how magic, once dismissed as superstition, remains a potent language for re-imagining identity, community, and our relation to the forces that shape us.
The opening will feature a screening of all three works, followed by a conversation between HEX writer and director Katrín Helga Andrésdóttir, composer and creator Sóley Stefánsdóttir, and curator Arnbjörg María Daníelsdóttir, with a closing DJ set.
The exhibition remains open daily through September 26, with one film shown per day on a silent loop from 10:00–16:00, or by special appointment with sound. Schedule to follow.
