Or�i� fer�afu�a ��ir hringja e�a sylgja e�a �a� sem lokar hringnum og var valin sem yfirskrift �essarar s�ningar sem ��tla� er a� ver�i � fer� hringin � kring um landi� fr� 2001 til 2003. Fyrsti �fangasta�ur var Slunkar�ki � �safir�i (sept-okt. 2001), Ferdafuda is an old Icelandic word, meaning a buckle or circle, or something that closes a circle. The journey began from Reykjavik and the first exhibition was in September 2001 in one of the smallest galleries in the country Slunkariki in Isafjordur. From there the exhibition traveled to Akureyri in 2002 and was shown in Ketilhus, one of the largest exhibition halls outside Reykjavik. After that it went to the Skaftfell arts centre in Seydisfjordur. In the spring of 2003 the exhibition traveled to Vestmannaeyjar and now the circle closes with this exhibition in Reykjavik. At every stop along the way local artists have been invited to participate with their work. In that way we wanted to forge a bond between various parts of the country with an emphasis on the participants shared field visual art but also on the necessity for dialogue and discussion between artists. Many of the participants traveled to each location and met their colleagues there. The Ferdafuda or Buckle has now encircled the country and formed a complex and intricate circle of wealth. A circle of human wealth.
