As you may have seen elsewhere in this
issue (page 32), deep sea fishing is a
lot of fun. But what happened to the
rather beautiful creatures from the deep
that gave their life up for such a serious
journalistic assignment? You may be
pleased and re-assured to know that
nothing went to waste - the discarded
entrails made the harbour’s seagulls
happy when the boat docked and some
of the meatier bits are being turned
into fine cuisine that’ll be served at the
Sirkus Grounds Project opening party
this Saturday (July 5).
Starting at 3pm and going on until
midnight, the project is presented by
101-based Lost Horse gallery, one of
Reykjavík’s most interesting and diverse
centres for art. The programme features
a variety of installations in the Sirkus
Grounds from local artists Davíð Örn
Halldórsson, Scott Alario, Marguerite
Keyes, Alex Somers, Sara Riel, Theresa
Himmer, Hugleikur Dagsson, Una
Stígsdóttir, Anik Todd, Joel Thurman
and Alexander Zaklynsky. Local café
Nýlenduvöruverzlun Hemma og Valda
is also collaborating on the project with
Lost Horse.
As well as mind-expanding art, expect
a fine mix of local music from Hey
Calypso, Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson,
Helgi Valur, several DJ sets (SonSon,
Agzilla, Thor and Biogen), DJ battles,
some special mystery guests, an art
auction and some excellent food, all
crammed onto the site of one of city’s
best-loved, and now defunct, drinking
holes. The Amazing Mini Golf Extrava-
ganza and Wally the clown complete
the entertainment. After all, it is at
Sirkus, but the only likely animal-related
attendees will be a few wannabe Tiger
Woods and the spiced remains of some
pristine Icelandic cod.
