The goal of the seminar was to make a catalog of diverse works and set up an exhibit using unexpected materials. The kids used everything from ropes, threads, chords and plaster to colours, paper and elastichords. The seminar’s alternate goal was make references to modern art and thus encourage and strengthen the abilites of each and every student. The exhibit is located on the “square” of the National Museum, which is right next to the coffee shop. RJH Art from the blind Since Sruli Recht arrived here in Iceland he’s been up to a string of miscellaneous deeds, and now he’s launching the next in line. This most recent project is a co- production with artist Megan Herbert. Together they’ve created The Armoury, a peculiar shop boasting Sruli’s arsenal collection as well as the illustrated topo- graphic narratives of Megan. Check out the shop, lost amongst the retrofitted once-rusting ships and abandoned fisheries of Reykjavik’s Fishpacking District – but if you bring your children remember that the Armoury is a place of both sharp and delicate objects. SKK The Armoury Opens! Hólmaslóð 4 JULY 29 Erró – Japanese Love Letters (1979-1980) Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarhús September 3 – January 3 2010 In the early 1970s, Icelandic artist Erró embarked on extensive world travels, bringing him, among other places, to Japan. There, in a second-hand book store, he was captivated by an illustrated book and a series of old photographs and facsimiles related to the people and subjects in the book. After persuading the shop owner to let him photocopy the material, Erró returned to Paris and began to work, collaging the foreign printed raw material with the paintings he created. Using mainly shades of grey and variations of brown, this muted but startling display is a far cry from the Erró that most are familiar with. The exhibit is running for four months, so there is no reason to miss it. RL
