Ólafur Gíslason
			Ólafur Gíslason has exhibited widely in Iceland and on the European continent. Educated in Iceland and in Germany, he works in both countries as well as elsewhere and has in recent years produced a varied oeuvre comprising both installations and discreet works. His work is characterised by an emphasis on audience engagement, often in ways that can produce surprising results, such as in his exhibition ‘Vernissage’ where the audience arriving at the show is confronted -- apparently -- by the debris of another audience that has just left.
