The exhibition A yellower yellow presents new works by Una Björg Magnúsdóttir, which address the concepts of authentic and facsimile. The works explore the fallibility of memories as well as the adaptability of memory to create a coherent narrative. Una Björg plays a variety of tricks in her work to raise questions about beauty, values, and our existence, behaviour, and demeanour. To this end, she uses texture and value­laden materials in a subtle but spare way. 

Una Björg Magnúsdóttir (b. 1990) lives and works in Reykjavík. She studied fine arts at the Iceland University of the Arts and pursued postgraduate studies at ÉCAL in Switzerland, graduating in 2018. Her works have been exhibited at, among others, the Reykjavík Art Museum, ASÍ Art Museum, Gerðarsafn, Y Gallery, KEIV in Athens, GES-2 in Moscow, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. In 2021, Una received the Motivational Award from the Icelandic Art Prize in 2021, and this year, she was awarded the Guðmunda Award from Guðmunda Krist­ins­dóttir Arts Fund.
