„Visual art and music have always been closely related, and artists from both disciplines have never hestitated to borrow from each other. It was in this spirit that artist Halldór Ásgeirsson and composer Snorri Sigfús Birgisson decided to experiment with combining their respective branches of the arts into a single whole. Ásgeirsson‘s visual happening, struck a chord with the music by Birgisson, who completed seven works for piano which he performed during the exhibition. Although visual art and music were combined in this way at the exhibition, the artists strove to keep the unlimited independence of their works as well.“ Eiríkur Þorláksson Director of Reykjavík Art Museum.

Hvaða eldfjöll ? What volcano ? Exhibition for the Reykjavík Art Festival 2008 with Paul Armand Gette. „Halldór Ásgeirsson and Paul Armand Gette are not content with simply praising the beauty of the mountains in the blue distant haze : instead they delved deep below the surface in their investigation and recording and even used materials taken straight from nature in their work. What they have in common is that they are fascinated by the creative energy of the volcanoes and the turbulent activity under the surface of the earth. Various phenomena such as seething crevasses and lava rocks, are transformed in their works, taking on new dimensions, at the same time revealing the nature of nature itself.“ Kristín Guðnadóttir director of Así Art Museum.

Milano Europe. End of the century. The seeds of the future 2001. „ Ásgeirsson´s installations are often silent witness of a performance in which the artist integrates the melting process, when the lava is melted the volcanic nature of the stones are reactivated, as the the primary elements of Italy and Iceland were unleashed. By melting together two volcanoes, Hekla in Iceland and Vesuvio in Italy, Ásgeirsson is perhaps hinting at the positive subjects which can be the result of the fusion of elements from different places, i.e. the forces that can be released when two cultures meet. The melted lava runs over and unites ice and reproductions of Roman plasters and bends to one the elements of human nature, culture. „ Thorgeir Ólafsson art historian.

“The house of the 9 cities.” Performances filmed by Ólafur Páll Sigurðsson 25-26 of February 2000.. In February year 2000 artists from all the the Cultural Cities of Europe were invited to exhibit and perform their art live at the European Parliment. Halldór Ásgeirsson was the artist representing Reykjavík. Description of the work at the opening of the exhibition: A block of lava from the volcano Hekla in Iceland was suspended at eye level above 3 large blocks of ice floating in a metal box. The lava was melted with blowtorch and dripped in fine threads onto the ice where it transformed into black glass. The volcanic nature of the stone was reactivated as the primary elements of Iceland were unleashed. Incredibly just as this performance was taken place the infamous Hekla awoke from her slumber and erupted. This served as an apt reminder that in the face of nature´s power man´s work is all but insignificant.
