JAÐARLÖND is an exhibition of book works by sixteen artists from seven countries: ten ARKIR and six foreign artists. The title of the exhibition, JAÐARLÖND, refers to a world on the edge of the world, an edge that is, when you look closely, constantly changing throughout world history. In a variety of book works, the artists examine countries and borders, texts and languages, nature and cultures from different perspectives.

The exhibition is composed of recent works that have only been shown in the United States in the traveling exhibition BORDERLAND, and new and older books by ARKA and their guests from Denmark, Norway, Lithuania, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
