Reykjavík Art Muse-
um, Lobster or Fame:
Two Decades of Bad
Taste Ltd.
June 13th - August 31st.
Smekkleysa SM, widely known as Bad
Taste SM Ltd is the record label that
launched The Sugarcubes, Reptile,
Ham, Maus, Björk, Sigur Rós and
Mínus. This summer it celebrates
Icelandic music, culture and its 16th
birthday at Reykjavík Art Museum with
a blend of photography and music.
Lobster or Fame is an overview of
the labels´ history, displaying posters,
record sleeve designs and photos
that capture an apparent naive joy
and vibrancy. Historically significant,
the rarely seen photographic images
weave into the creative core of a label
whose anarchic and quirky spirit has
produced extraordinary artists and
made a lasting mark on both the
Icelandic music and art scenes as well
as having had considerable impact
further afield.
An informative and appropriatly taste-
less catalogue is published in con-
nection with the exhibition. In it you
will find rare photographs from the
infamous Bad Taste Evenings of the
‘90s, sleazy details about its famous
members and inside information on
people you have never heard of – and
in the spirit of tastelessness there is
even a never before seen picture of a
poet with a dried cod sticking out of
his fly. Splendid!
The Living Art Muse-
um, Matthew Barney.
May 24th -June 29th.
The Living Art Museum is celebrating
its 25th year of promoting contem-
porary art in Iceland with a splash,
the Matthew Barney exhibiton.The
exhibition constitutes a part of Mat-
thews Cremaster project, completed
this year with shows in Europe and the
United States.
The exhibition takes place on the 3rd
floor of the museum, and features,
among other things photographic
works from the Cremaster project
and sculptures made especially for the
show. The exhibition is complemented
by screenings of the five CREMASTER
films in the Regnboginn Cinema, next
door to the museum.
This is one of the biggest events ever
produced by the museum and a great
honour for a small non-profit, artist-run
gallery.
