STEINUNN THORARINSDOTTIR
to exhibit at the National Nordic Museum

In 2012, Icelandic sculptor Steinunn Thorarinsdottir debuted BORDERS at Westlake Park in Downtown Seattle. The public installation, including 11 androgynous figurative sculptures in cast-iron and aluminum, sit or stand in silent conversation, sharing space with the viewer, and calling attention to the connections that unite all of us.

Over a decade later, Steinunn will return to Seattle for a solo show at the National Nordic Museum. The exhibition, Wayfinders, will greet visitors upon their arrival and guide their path throughout the public spaces of the Museum. Wayfinders will consider life’s journey, including travels and resettlement abroad generally, and the Nordic-American experience specifically. Both aesthetically and conceptually, it was designed for the Museum.

Exhibition opens July 14, 2023
