The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary are bringing Iceland inside with Emotional Landscapes, an exhibition by the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson (born Reykjavik, 1976). See four of his most internationally-renowned video installations, The Visitors (2012), The Man (2010), The End (2009) and God (2007), plus a series of watercolors.

The exhibition gives us a colorful peek at Kjartansson’s fascination with America, its landscapes and music through works set on a farm by the Hudson River and in the Rocky Mountains. The sounds of blues and jazz add pizazz to the art and make good use of the museum’s impressive sound system!
