Ben Kinsley (MFA '08) and Jessica Langley present collaborative and individual works in The Thirteenth Day, an exhibition at Skaftfell Center for Visula Art, Iceland. The title refers to Þrettándinn, the celebration held on the 13th day after Christmas when the last of the Yule Lads is said to return to the mountains after a holiday season of mischief - a transitional time between the imaginary and the everyday.

Both the event itself and the ideas it represents are reflected in the work featured in this exhibition. http://ameriskur.blogspot.com/2009/03/13th-day-jess-langley-ben-kinsley.html
