Exhibition: 01 May - 21 June 2025

Persons Projects is privileged to present Kristján Guðmundsson’s exhibition during this year’s Gallery Weekend in Berlin. He is one of the most important conceptual artists to emerge from Iceland. His involvement with the SÚM movement (1965-78) challenged the traditional Icelandic interpretation of art as being solely rooted in landscape painting and nature. Influenced by international artists such as Donald Judd, Richard Long, and Dieter Roth, Guðmundsson in turn questioned throughout his career what constitutes art by upending our assumptions of what it is. His minimal sculptures and wall compositions over the past six decades are composed of a wide range of materials, including graphite blocks, pencil leads, water levels, paper rolls, aluminum-framed window panes, and plastic logos.

David Hockney, once said, "drawing takes time, a line has time in it.” Inspired by this, Persons Projects is proud to present a group exhibition exploring the various approaches that shift the parameters of understanding what a line can be in the context of a drawing. These selected artists use a multitude of different materials as well as the passage of time to express their conceptual propositions in visualizing these linear representations.
