The idea was that the harsh conditions and variegated terrain would help to prepare Apollo astronauts for their impending Moon trips. The missions visited the caldera Askja within the Dyngjuf\u00f6ll mountains, in the central highlands of Iceland just north of the Vatnaj\u00f6kull glacier, and the focus of the astronauts was on studying geological formations. Askja had last erupted in 1961.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/safneign.listasafnreykjavikur.is\/en\/Asmundur\">\u00c1smundur Sveinsson<\/a> was inspired by the Space Age from its very outset. In 1957 he sculpted <em>Space Dragon<\/em>, a two-metre-tall iron dragon with gaping jaws, white canines, and a star chart with a floating moon. When NASA began sending its astronauts to Iceland, Sveinsson showed them his <em>Space Dragon<\/em> with a warning, telling them &#8216;There are dangers on the way to the moon&#8217;. &#8216;Yes&#8217;, the astronauts collectively responded, &#8216;You go this way to the moon, but we have to go there differently&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Against the backdrop of the Space Race, <em>Yearning for Space<\/em> at\u00a0\u00c1smundarsafn showed how Icelandic artists in the 50s and 60s explored modern technologies, the literary genre of science fiction, as well as lingering and contemporaneous artistic developments\u00a0in modernism, futurism, and minimalism. It featured works by \u00c1smundur Sveinsson, Ger\u00f0ur Helgad\u00f3ttir, and Sigurj\u00f3n \u00d3lafsson, who each began their careers sculpting in the traditional materials of clay, plaster, or stone before turning in the 1950s to iron, copper, glass, and steel; and by J\u00f3n Gunnar \u00c1rnason, who was educated as a mechanic before studying art under Sveinsson&#8217;s tutelage.<\/p>\n<p>In different ways, both physically and mystically, all of these artists gestured towards the celestial. Highlights included \u00c1smundur Sveinsson&#8217;s <em>Space Dragon<\/em> (1957) and <em>The Face of the Sun<\/em> (1961), a jagged orbit in wood and copper; Ger\u00f0ur Helgad\u00f3ttir&#8217;s tall wire <em>Tower<\/em> (1956-58) and <em>Tower of Babel<\/em> (1956-58); Sigurj\u00f3n \u00d3lafsson&#8217;s <em>Atomic Bomb<\/em> (1979) and <em>The Secret Weapon<\/em> (1979), rusted and barbarous yet modestly functional; and J\u00f3n Gunnar \u00c1rnason&#8217;s <em>The Heart<\/em> (1968), a grinding mechanical heart made from scrap metal, and <em>RTS 17 (Homo Technicus)<\/em> 1969, menacing and lethal with its coiling blades.<\/p>\n<p>In the gardens of\u00a0\u00c1smundarsafn &#8211;\u00a0\u00c1smundur Sveinsson&#8217;s home and workshop, which he designed and constructed in the 1930s, and bequeathed to the City of Reykjavik to serve as a museum upon his death in 1982 &#8211; stood various of his sculptures in stone and metal, such as <em>Weather Man<\/em> (1934), <em>Midsummer\u00a0<\/em>(1940), <em>Sigh<\/em> (1948), and <em>Ocean Tones<\/em> (1950). Coinciding with the exhibition, the Reykjavik Art Museum offered a programme of events in collaboration with the Amateur Astronomical Society of Seltjarnarnes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
