Listamenn

Listamenn is a collective of visual artists based in Reykjavík, Iceland. Founded in 2015, the group comprises artists working across various mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art. Their primary aim is to foster collaboration and provide a platform for emerging and established artists to showcase their work and engage with the public.

The collective is known for organizing exhibitions in non-traditional spaces around Reykjavík, transforming industrial sites, vacant storefronts, and other unconventional locations into temporary galleries. This approach seeks to make art more accessible and to integrate it into the urban landscape. Listamenn also facilitates workshops, artist talks, and public art projects, contributing to the vibrant cultural scene of the city.

Membership in Listamenn is by invitation or application, with a focus on artists who demonstrate a commitment to innovation and community engagement. The group actively participates in international art exchanges and collaborations, aiming to connect Icelandic artists with a broader global audience. Their work often reflects contemporary themes, social commentary, and explorations of Icelandic identity and environment. Listamenn continues to be an active force in promoting contemporary art in Iceland through its diverse projects and exhibitions.
