DJ Margeir & his Symphony Orchestra conducted
by Samuel Samuelsson
Laugardalshöll 21:00
2900ISK
As a club DJ, Margeir has been laying down the gospel since the early 90s, filling
slots at Borgin, the seminal Rósenberg club and in venues all over the world. He
has appeared alongside Carl Cox, Daft Punk, Booka Shade and Trentemøller and
has also hit the decks in support of Kraftwerk and Björk. Assembling members of
the acclaimed Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, the collective has been gathering
admirers and high regard wherever they go. Margeir and Samuel have arranged
strings to go alongside their creative DJ sets and have been performing with the
members of the orchestra, often with GusGus vocalist Daniel Águst. Perfoming as
part of EVE-Onlines Fanfest Party on Top Of the World, the performance, will include
music themed to EVE Online. It is not to be missed. sW

Every Thursday in October, Free
Once again, the all-free Thursday Foreplay shows are back! Since 2002, the good
people at Hitt Húsið have been supporting young musicians aged 16-25 by setting
up a forum in which they can both play and experience live shows, providing them
with equipment and facilities. This upcoming month they will be hosting the likes of
The Vulgate (1st), In Samsara (8th), The Sleeping Prophets (22nd) and Swive (29th),
as well as a slew of opening acts. All shows are free and open to anyone 16 and
older. Go see the promising young talent this city is breeding. rL

Creative Crates
Reykjavík Art Museum
Ongoing until January 3rd '10
Tokyo-based J-Pop artist Yoshitomo
Nara’s recently opened installation,
“Crated Rooms” frames paintings,
drawings and sculptures in a series of
industrial-grade crates and spaces.
Nara and his collaborator, Hideki
Toyoshima, make good use of the space,
giving a dynamic, exploratory feel to a
gallery that might otherwise feel cold
and concrete.
At first glance, Nara’s large-eyed
characters exude a sense of childlike
wonder and innocence. The devil is, of
course, in the details: there’s something
uneasy about the rushed drawings
and the crates give off an illicit, black
market feel. A mummified, child-like
figure is stuck in what looks to be an
interrogation room; a young girl plays
with a skull; tears dot cheeks on a
number of paintings. Something’s not
quite right here—we just haven’t been
able to put our finger on it yet. mZ
