Surveying the films, installations and performances of the superstar Icelandic artistWidely recognized as one of the most exciting and significant voices of contemporary art, Icelandic performance and multimedia artist Ragnar Kjartansson takes a loving yet critical look at Western culture. His longform video installations explore the dynamics of repetition, often through music, and develop into feats of endurance, both physical and emotional. The Guardian deemed his 2012 work The Visitors “the best artwork of the 21st century.”Combining quintessential videos such as Me and My Mother and Bliss with lesser-known paintings and sculptures, the retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art presents three new pieces made for the exhibition (including the title work with the plywood flames burning on the catalog cover) and captures the litany of senses Kjartansson has embraced without hesitation in his 20-year career. New work created for the anthology includes a painted plywood monument to “an epic waste of love and understanding” and a new performance piece titled Scaredman. The richly illustrated catalog includes personal contributions and dialogues in response to each of the artist''s works on display by leading contemporary artists and scholars. Curator Tine Colstrup discusses A Lot of Sorrow with Marina Abramović, and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Do zániku sveta nezostáva veľa času. Aspoň podľa amatérskej astrofyzičky Petry, ktorá súdny deň vypočítala na 7. septembra 2011 o 20:21. Toto proroctvo ju nečakane spojí s pomerne jednoduchým Johanom, ktorý odmalička slepo obdivoval staršieho brata, a s dôchodkyňou Agnes, ktorá sa vydáva za mladú influencerku. Nesúrodá trojica sa v karavane vydáva do Ríma a majú poriadne naponáhlo. Musia toho ešte veľa stihnúť, ale ako to už býva, nič nejde podľa plánu. Dokonca ani koniec sveta. Na pozadí bizarného výletu naprieč Európou, Afrikou a Amerikou Jonasson humorne a svojsky odkrýva nielen výnimočné ľudské charaktery, ale odhaľuje aj to, ako funguje korupcia na globálnej úrovni. Ako to už býva, nič nejde podľa plánu. Dokonca ani koniec sveta.
