“Midbaugur og Kringla; Leisure, Administration & Control” was a collaborative visual art project and exhibition with 11 artist from the 5 nordic countries, which took place in Kringla, the city mall and the downtown of Reykjavik, Iceland, in July 2007.
The aim of the project was to create a meeting where the artist came together and worked directly with two public spaces in the city; the old downtown of Reykjavik and the mall, Kringlan, which has been an integral part of Reykjavik’s landscape since the 1980′s, attracting more than 20.000 visitors (10% of the city’s population) daily.
