“Artists’ attraction to Verksmiðjan á Hjalteyri is indisputable. Its location on the edge — both of the Icelandic and the international art world — in the ruins of an old herring factory gives it a certain glow. The location plays a part in creating Verksmiðjan’s image as the perfect artist-run space where its operations are independent of hierarchies, institutions, and political intentions for development.”
- Margrét Elísabeth Ólafsdóttir
A deep documentation of this Icelandic artist-run space richly illustrated with reproduced photographs, art works and printed matter by a great number of artists who have exhibited at Verksmiðjan, with essays in Icelandic and English by Margrét Elísabeth Ólafsdóttir, Dominique Gauthier, Pari Stave, Pascale Cassagnau, and Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir.
