A catalogue that was published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title at the National Museum of Iceland in 2015 containing written articles by the creator of the exhibition Kristinn E. Hrafnsson, an artist, and Gunnar J. \u00c1rnason, philosospher of art, with a foreword written by Margr\u00e9t Hallgr\u00edmsd\u00f3ttir director of the National Museum.<\/p>\n
Space is probably the only thing that we know is omnipresent \u2013 at least in some sense. It is elastic and odd, but above all it is linked to time and movement. The history of astronomy and navigation is closely related to men\u2019s ideas of space and at times it may be said that this was one and the same phenomenon. This is the study of the universe and the study of searching and finding the way.<\/p>\n
There exist very few artifacts from the Middle Ages that are connected with these disciplines, and it was not until in recent centuries, with an increased knowledge of the world, that tools and instruments became more effective and more precise. Kristinn E. Hrafnsson studies here the trends and directions in these areas, the links between places and locations and periods, and time-measurements and correlates these with the movements of heavenly bodies and with a number of objects from the National Museum of Iceland.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
