This year’s Globe of Goodwill, WORLD<\/em>, by Gu\u00f0j\u00f3n Ketilsson<\/strong> is now available at the museum shop. Each year, the Globe is sold as a limited edition, but in the last few years the Globe has sold out rather quickly, more often than not. All proceeds go to benefit children and young people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights covers this year\u2019s edition of the Globe of Goodwill. The glass sphere is the scene of the human condition of grief and provocation that calls for a societal consensus to nurture a sense of humanity and its values in the face of a few but powerful forces. The Declaration of Human Rights is written in blue, intended to remind us of our globe, Earth, which is composed of 70% water, a similar amount of water to our human bodies.<\/p>\n

The glass sphere is created as an art object now when 75 years have passed since the Declaration of Human Rights was ratified to enhance peaceful relations between the world\u2019s nations. The Declaration stipulates human rights to which all people are entitled regardless of race, colour, sexual orientation, language, religion, opinion, nationality, origin, property, ancestry, or other circumstances. Therefore, the creation of the Globe of Goodwill has its source in common compassion, love of one\u2019s neighbour and hope for more peaceful relations between nations.<\/p>\n

Gu\u00f0j\u00f3n Ketilsson<\/strong> (b. 1956) is one of the most prominent and prolific artists in Iceland and the recipient of the Icelandic Art Prize in 2020. Gu\u00f0j\u00f3n has held over thirty solo exhibitions, including J\u00e6ja<\/em>, a mid-career retrospective at Kjarvalssta\u00f0ir in 2022, and participated in group exhibitions around the world. His work can be found in all major museums in Iceland and in public spaces in Iceland and the Nordic countries. Gu\u00f0j\u00f3n has worked in equal measure at drawings and sculpture with an emphasis on craftsmanship. Through his work, he explores the human condition, the body and our everyday surroundings where familiar objects, forms, words or written text are brought to light in a new and often surprising context.<\/p>\n

The Globe of Goodwill will be sold at the museum shop from December 7th until December 21st, or for as long as it remains in stock.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
