Sleepless Nights: Visions from Western
Canada is a group exhibition that brings
together nine contemporary artists from
the provinces of Alberta and British
Columbia. Showing at Kling&Bang,
the exhibit draws inspiration from
Icelandic poet and celebrated literary
figure Stephan G. Stephansson, who
immigrated to the United States and
later moved to Alberta, Canada. The
exhibition looks to (re)engage the
cultural and historical connections
between Western Canada and Iceland.
A connection that may or may not be
obvious. The only way to find out is
to visit Kling&Bang until the 4th of
October. Admission is free. LP

Icelandic artist Bjargey Ólafsdóttir is
one of a new generation of Icelandic
artists who are working across lens-
based media and performance. Her
work ranges from film and photography
to drawings and paintings. Her latest
exhibit is entitled The Gold Eaters (I
read Italian Vouge and eat polarbear
meat with my fingers) and the title itself
is surely enough to draw even those
who usually consider themselves non-
gallery-goers. LP
After being born and raised on the
Westman Islands, Steinunn Einarsdóttir
picked up and moved to Queensland,
Australia for 27 years. Her continuous
proximity to the ocean has fueled her
dappled and curiously colourful works
over the course of her her career. In
her new exhibition, Steinunn exhibits
oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings,
showing how the range of mediums
affect the style and subject matter. With
the summer now behind us this exhibit
should keep the sun lingering a while
longer. RL
The Reykjavík Cultural Center,
Gerðuberg, is now offering a course in
cartooning for teenagers. The course
concentrates on political caricature
drawings and the organizers not only
encourage but expect the participants
to have some sort of political awareness
and confidence in drawing. So no
doodling, this is serious stuff. The
course will cover the basics of political
cartooning, symbolism, exaggeration,
sarcasm and analysis; with a look at the
history of cartoons and their role in the
present age. Fee: 5500 ISK
