Some of Sigurður Árni’s most prominant work has been installed in public areas such as the Sultartanga Hydroelectric Power Plant in Iceland (“Sólalada”, 2000), the Hlíð Assisted Living Residence in Akureyri, Iceland (“Ljós í skugga”, 2006), the National Bank of Iceland in Reykjavik (“Samhengi”, 2004), and the town of Loupian in the south of France (“L’Eloge de la Nature”, 2011). Sigurður Árni represented Iceland at the 1999 Venice Biennale, and in 2000, when Reykjavik was a European Capital of Culture, one of his works was chosen as the culture year’s emblem. He has been a professor at the Iceland Academy of Art and the Montpellier School of Arts (ESBAMA), and was selected as the 2000-2001 artist laureate by the city of Akureyri in Iceland.
