"Love is the most powerful element in the world. If we want to change the world into a better place, love should not be reduced to clichés. In fact, we need to speak up about love as a useful medicine against a lot of problems, both socially and politically. It is like a boomerang. Love comes back to you if you give it away!"

These are the words of the Icelandic artists’ group The Icelandic Love Corporation counting the artists Eirún Sigurðardóttir (b.1971), Jóní Jónsdóttir (b.1972), and Sigrún Hrólfsdóttir (b.1973). Together, they form the backbone of the sixth exhibition in the series ARoS FOCUS // NEW NORDIC, this time entitled Love Conquers All! Consistent with the artists’ at once interactive and playful approach to art, the title stresses love as the most supreme power in the fight for a better world, focusing on community, sustainability, courage, and action.
