The Icelandic Art Prize is a yearly event since 2018 that aims to honour and promote outstanding Icelandic contemporary art and encourage new artistic forms and creations. Just over a month ago the Prize was awarded for the 4th time. The duo Libia Castro (b. 1970) & Ólafur Ólafsson (b. 1973) are the recipients of the Art Prize 2021 for their collective performance with the Magic Team In Search of Magic – A Proposal for a New Constitution for The Republic of Iceland. In a conversation with Valur Brynjar Antonson the duo discussed this major art event that took place on the 3rd of October 2020 at Reykjavik Art Museum, the streets of the city center, outside the Prime Minister’s office and the Parliament building on Austurvöllur Square.
