Sponsor.IcelandairCargoIcelandair Cargo and Sagenhaftes Island have made a sponsorship agreement. On the occasion of Iceland's Guest of Honour appearance at the Frankfurt Book Fair, many and varied exhibitions are planned in the area, and Icelandair Cargo has agreed to handle the transportation of the exhibited items and artwork.

In September, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir's exhibition Crepusculum, designed around displays of ancient Icelandic vellum manuscripts, will open at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt. In October, also at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Erró's portrait cycle “Monsters” will be exhibited for the first time in Germany. Many other events are also planned, such as an exhibition of eight Icelandic photographers, a design exhibition, an exhibition of the works of the artist Ragnar Kjartansson and more.

The help Icelandair Cargo will provide in transporting the exhibited artwork to Frankfurt is instrumental to the aforementioned events, and both parties express enthusiasm about the collaboration ahead.
