Allocation from the LHÍ publishing fund for the 2025 academic year

The Iceland Academy of the Arts has awarded grants from its publication fund for the 2025 academic year. This time, three academic staff members received grants to publish their research results.

Carl Théodore Marcus Boutard receives a grant for the publication of a book containing drawings and sculptures from the exhibition Degrowth, which will be held at Cecilia Hillström Gallery in Stockholm in January-February 2025. The works are based on the ideology of degrowth, which criticizes traditional measures of economic growth as an indicator of progress.

Birna Geirfinnsdóttir is working on a book based on almost 50 interviews that art historian Aðalsteinn Ingólfsson conducted with collaborators and friends of Dieter Roth between 1981 and 1988. The book will feature the interviews along with images of Roth's work, and is a unique source on his career as a designer and artist. The editors of the book are Arnar Freyr Guðmundsson, Birna Geirfinnsdóttir and Fraser Muggeridge.

Einar Torfi Einarsson receives funding for the publication of the magazine's anthology Threads, which the Department of Music at the University of Iceland has published since 2016. The anthology, which will be published in a limited edition in the spring of 2026, will contain the first ten issues of the journal with a variety of content on music research in Iceland.

The Iceland Academy of the Arts' Publication Fund has the role of promoting the development of knowledge in the field of art and providing support to academic staff in disseminating research results.
