Events
LungA: The Arts Festival of
Youngsters in the East
Between July 14 and 20 the mis-
cellaneous arts festival Lunga will
take place in Seyðisfjorður. The
Festival began with few youngsters
unhappy with the small-scale se-
lection of hobbies in Seyðisfjorður
and so established this festival.
This year it includes a great selec-
tion of music performances such
as Borko, Morðingjarnir, Bang
Gang and even big DJ names such
as Trentemöller from Denmark. In
addition to the music fiesta they
have both a design exhibition
and also various workshops on
a diverse spectrum of topics. For

Jazzfestival in Egilsstaðir
Once a year all the jazz freaks in
Reykjavík flock to this rural town in
the East to listen to this unrivalled
selection of Jazz. The first acts
begin June 25 and more respected
high flyers will provide the festival-
goers titillating melodies until June
28. Acts this year vary from the
dance and musical piece Draumar,
the jazz patron Larry Carlton and
Icelandic wags Siggi Flosa and
Jón Páll to the hip dance posse
Bloodgroup. More info www.jea.is
The Blue Car Engine Receives
Proper Treatment
This four-day experiment was sup-
posed to be in the Experimental
Marathon earlier in June but the
necessary copper sulphate hadn’t
arrived in time. so it will be con-
ducted June 19 in Reykjavik Art
Museum in Hafnarstræti. At 5 PM
on June 17 technicians will whip
up a highly dangerous chemical
compound and dip the engine into
it. The latter part of the experi-
ment will be performed at June 22
at 2PM when the engine will be
revealed again. The tickets are of
course free of charge, so please do
check out this unique experiment.
The Music Festival Við Djúpið
The 6th Music Festival “Við Djúpið”
held in Ísafjörður has already
begun, but the grand opening was
thrown alongside to the town’s
Independence Day celebration.
The opening recital consisted of
young violinist Pekka Kuusisto and
pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips,
but what’s coming is just as
outstanding, including a midsum-
mer night concert with Norwegian
pianist Håkon Austbø. A new
feature of this year’s festival is
both the Lunch concert series and
the various lectures offered by The
University Centre of the Vestfjords.

Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness is
mostly known for his writing but with
the exhibition, ‘The Late View’, guests
can learn that he wasn’t only a legend-
ary author, but a talented photographer.
The exhibition features photographs
from Laxness’ private collection.
Snapshots of his family, friends and
co-workers are displayed in a remark-
able exhibition that bears witness to a
life’s story that entailed interrelations
between family life, political life and a
career as a novelist.
