The Canada Iceland Foundation Inc. ( CIFI ) has given a grant to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in support of their current exhibition of Ragnar Kjartansson, Death is Elsewhere. This is a non-narrative, visually immersive art installation comprised of seven large screens which surround the viewer with scenes filmed during one of Iceland's light summer nights, accompanied by durational music. This piece opened at the AGO on November 7 for a one year run. Although the AGO is now temporarily closed due to the pandemic lockdown, a segment of the piece can be viewed on the AGO website. Ragnar Kjartansson is an internationally known Icelandic artist living in Reykjavik.
