This exhibition is the final episode of the YPSILON GOGG<\/strong> trilogy. Preparations for this series of exhibitions began in the autumn of 2019 with philosophical\u00a0speculations and a modest hint of emotional tendencies towards the friendship that the three museum veterans from the three towns of \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur had cultivated over the years. The first exhibition, GOGG, was staged in \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur during the\u00a0summer of 2020. Second up was G\u00daL in Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur 2021 and in June 2022 opens the finale, G\u00daL\u00cdGOGG, in Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n

\u00d6rlygur Kristfinnsson,\u00a0<\/strong>Watercolour series<\/em><\/p>\n

This series of watercolours focuses on the extinction of the Great Auk. For millions of years, this species had developed as the largest of the Auks (Alcidae). For centuries the Great Auks\u00b4 eggs and meat were transported from its North Atlantic colonies to the banquet tables of Europeans. Lastly, natural history museums and private collectors were responsible for the species’ extinction on June 3, 1844, on Eldey, off the coast of Iceland \u2013 when the last remaining Great Auk on Earth was killed.\u00a0\u00d6rlygur’s work addresses the fate of this creature and the conservation of our natural world.<\/p>\n

In addition to exhibiting his artwork, \u00d6rlygur is a published author of several books concerning the history of Siglufj\u00f6rdur. In 1989, he established the Association of Museum Volunteers and was the Director of the Herring Museum of Iceland from 1996-2016.
