The advisory panel started its work within Skaftfell at the beginning of 2017. Its key role is to define the artistic approach and premises for Skaftfell’s gallery, residency and education programs. It consists of three members, appointed for two years by the Association of Icelandic Artists, the Iceland Academy of the Arts and the Association of Art History and Theory in Iceland.<\/p>\n

The advisory panel succeeds the honorary position of artistic director, which had been in place since 2009. The first appointed artistic director was Bj\u00f6rn Roth (2009-2011), followed by Christoph B\u00fcchel (2011-2013),\u00a0R\u00e1\u00f0hildur Ingad\u00f3ttir (2013-2015) and\u00a0Gavin Morrison (2015-2017).<\/p>\n

The advisory panel has been implemented for two main reasons: to strengthen the dialogue and collaboration with the professional art sector and ever-changing art field in Iceland and abroad, and to fulfill one of the terms of Skaftfell\u2019s primary funding contract with the East Iceland Association of Local Authorities and Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Municipality, signed in June 2015 and in 2020, which is valid for 5 years.<\/p>\n
