CHART

Gallery Gudmundsdottir presents a two-artist booth with The Icelandic Love Corporation and Endre Aalrust. ILC introduces Written in Blood, a series of watercolours addressing menopause as a rite of passage, shifting the narrative from loss and invisibility toward transformation and ceremony. At CHART, the project includes a performative gesture in which women who have completed menopause are awarded a diploma marking this transition as an achievement. Endre Aalrust presents paintings that explore power structures and emotional dynamics within contemporary life. Drawing from visual languages of digital culture and everyday imagery, his works combine humour with moments of vulnerability and ambiguity.
