Ásmundur Ásmundsson
Ásmundur Ásmundsson infiltrates contemporary culture to scrutinize its creative potential and capitalize on its weaknesses. His pieces are inspired by mass customisation and its inclination to help us make the right choices, since life is both treacherous and precious.
Snorri Ásmundsson
Snorri Asmundsson often seeks to affect the society by public events. He has disturbed the community he lives in for some years with extensive performances where he works with social taboos like politics, sex and religion. Howsoever people react to these grandstand performances of the artist; he is first and foremost challenging sociological and religious values. He seeks sharp responses and examines the limits of his fellow man as well as his own.
