By donation (1500 ISK), not considered fee
Bláfjöll Ski Resort / Gamli Gaukurinn, Tryggvagata 22
13:00
Two things that indisputably go hand in hand are
hip-hop and extreme sports. And that’s exactly
what this event is about. It kicks off in the slopes
where you can show off your mad skills on the
board in Bláfjöll’s brand new snowboard park.
When you’ve gotten all banged up you can head
down to Gamli Gaukurinn and show off more
unhealthy set of skills. Úlfur Úlfur and Emmsjé
Gauti will fill your head with dynamic rhymes and
Heineken and Rhino’s will fill your mouths with
complimentary liquids. Tickets on sale at Noland
in Kringlan. SKK

quest of beer. Join the good folks at KEX
Hostel at this four-day festival to celebrate
the time-tested and universal joy of ale! PP

Beer Fest!1.2M A R
Anna Hrund Másdóttir & Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir
Free
Gallery Kling & Bang, Hverfisgata 42
Orange, yellow, triangle. Basic colours and basic
shapes, creating something so terribly complex
and ludicrously simple at the same time, some-
thing like the nachos we like to eat. Anna Hrund
and Hildigunnur portray their exhibition made of
all sorts of ingredients, additives, and seasonings
that together present their theme to us all: they are
concerned with the planet. And on display will be
their works screaming at the audience the most
important of all messages: everything deserves
beauty. PP
2 SAT PERFORMANCE Too Much of a Good
Thing at Gallerý Þoka. What possesses
someone to binge and purge? How are
we dominated by food and how the hell is
performance art supposed to help?
7-9 MARCH MUSIC Reykjavik Folk Festival
at the Hilton Nordica. In harmony with
the folksy trend in the hipster scene, this
music feast is dedicated to mesmerizing
and repetitive tones of the folk.
