Artist and project manager of the Icelandic Art Prize Tinna Guðmundsdóttir joins us to discuss the nominations for the 2024 Icelandic Art Prize. In this overview episode, we detour from our usual format, and take some time to review the artists, and the exhibitions, that are nominated for the Prize's two main award categories; Artist of the Year & Motivational Award.

The Icelandic Art Prize awards, including the Artist of the Year award, the Motivational Award, Publication of the Year, Group exhibition of the Year and Honorary Artist of the Year, annually award outstanding visual artists, as well as encouraging new artistic creations, and recognizing significant contributions made to the field of contemporary art over the year. The award ceremony will be held on March 14 at Iðnó, where the Icelandic Love Corporation and artist Pola Sutryck will contribute to the evening’s festivities.

The nominees for the two award categories are:
