PROJECT: Curation and design on an exhibition featuring linguist Stefán Einarsson
DATE: 2011
From collections of personal and professional items, Linda was commissioned to curate, oversee and install two separate exhibitions covering the life work of two men deeply connected to this part of the world. Stefán Einarsson ´Man of Letter´, occupied the largest space allocated within the oldest building in the village of Breiðdalsvík and part of George Walker´s belongings (whose entire life´s work is kept in Gamla Kaupfélagið/Old General Store) was set up as a working office installation.
A year later following the successful run of this Exhibition, the Central Library of Iceland called for a 2nd showing in their gallery. The surroundings were no longer the quaint old General Store in the east coast village, but a modern building within Reykjavik.
