Read more about ongoing exhibitionsThe exhibition shows works by three picture book artists: Anna Höglund, Pija Lindenbaum and Ida Sundin Asp. Their stories include both darkness and light, order and chaos, humour and seriousness. They don’t shield the reader from what’s difficult. They tackle it head on, and help us try to understand. The colours range from bright yellow and raspberry red, to the grey January sky.
Participating artists: Vanessa Baird, Sigga Björg Sigurðardóttir, Ann-Mari Didoff, Cecilia Edefalk, Georg Guðni Hauksson, Kati Immonen, Martin Jacobson, KG Nilson, Julie Nord, Guðmundur Thoroddsen and Eva Vilne
