"to revel in the seemingly endless völundarhús” by Adam Buffington
The article “to revel in the seemingly endless völundarhús”: On Opera in Icelandic Contemporary Art by Adam Buffington was first published in the magazine Art in Iceland, no. 05, in 2025. In recent years, concepts associated with opera have become increasingly prevalent within Icelandic contemporary visual art. Opera’s inherently interdisciplinary nature is one likely reason for the increased interest in opera amongst visually based artists, with the foundations of opera’s conceptual and practical interdisciplinarity stemming from its prolonged history.
