Sigurdur Gudmunds The artist Sigurður Guðmundsson is preoccupied with pouring a bottle of beer into a glass. He watches the rim intently, anticipating how much he can add before the point of no return.

Gudmundsson had his first solo show in February 1969 in Sύm's exhibition space Galerí Sύm. His manifesto for the exhibition A few words about art included a series of statements about what art is and is not, for example "Art is not about showing how skilful the artist is, Art is not there to delight your eye, Art is a way of living life."[2] This year also saw him organise an exhib
