From June 9 to June 19, Iceland’s coun-
tryside will turn into a grand art-fest
when a group of young artists from the
Icelandic Academy of the Arts together
with some friends will hit the road and
drive crisscross the country and arrive in
small towns and villages for the purpose
of organising various arty happenings.
Scheduled sites include Bolungavík, Bor-
garfjörður eystri, Djúpavík, Grundar-
fjörður, Hafnir, Hofsós, Siglufjörður and
Stöðvarfjörður.
The project is called DIONYSIA and
its curators explain that the reason for
the events is that the artists want to
break down boundaries between the
City and the countryside as well as be-
tween different art genres, art students
and others. The happenings will take
place at some obscure places, which are
chosen for its beauty, history or value of
interest in some way. The artists will col-
laborate with the local people to make
some kind of an art project based on
what the situation, the town and sur-
roundings have to offer. The event will
be documented and the curators have
started conversing with other creative
organisations about making a project
related book, an exhibition and a video
documentary.
