Visitors will have the opportunity to explore how to construct an image, in both a literal and creative sense, experimenting with composition and developing their visual skills through the arrangement of found objects. The goal is to uncover the beauty in the everyday and to examine how different perspectives influence image composition, whether approaching abstraction or classical still life. All materials will be provided and participants will be encouraged to arrange objects in various ways, photograph their creations or translate them into drawings. The workshop will be led by Unnur Mj\u00f6ll S. Leifsd\u00f3ttir, artist and Education Manager at Hafnarborg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8 p.m.<br \/>\nSettlement \u2013 Guided Tour by Flashlight<\/strong><br \/>\nB\u00fai Bjarmar A\u00f0alsteinsson will lead visitors on a guided tour of P\u00e9tur Thomsen&#8217;s photography exhibition, <em>Settlement<\/em>, in a darkened gallery lit only by flashlight. The exhibition features landscape works captured by the photographer at night, where he uses a big flash to light up the land and define the stage. In many of the works, a black sky looms over the landscape, imbuing the photographs with an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. Among the subjects P\u00e9tur explores in this photography series are mines, roads, lava fields, woods, creeks and cultivated lands, with a particular focus on land use and how humans impact nature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Museum Night takes place during the Winter Lights Festival, when most museums in the capital region open their doors to guests, offering a varied programme of events and entertainment. The cultural institutions of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur \u2013 The Library, The History Museum and Hafnarborg \u2013 are among those museums that look forward to welcoming you, as in years past. For Museum Night, admission to all participating museums and related events is free of charge.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday February 7th from 6-10 p.m., we will celebrate\u00a0Museum Night\u00a0at Hafnarborg, welcoming you to the museum in the evening to enjoy our exhibitions and a special programme featuring an open art workshop and guided tour by flashlight.
