the ongoing series, the Reykjavik Art
Museum commissions new work by
promising artists who have not had
prior private exhibitions in Iceland's
major museums.

The Crated Rooms in Iceland
A new installation by world-renowned

unexpected context.

Included are paintings and sculptures
by the artists Eybor Guðmundsdóttir,
Hreinn Friðfinnsson, Ólafur Elíasson,
JBK Ransu and others. The way artists
use colors, lights and shapes in a
variety of media to create a feeling of
disorientation is examined. Curated by
Helgi Már Kristinsson

Arty Havarí Party
Ausurstræti 6
Saturday, October 10th, 2pm
As if this new record shop and local
indie music co-op project wasn’t badass
enough, they’ve gone ahead and added
a gallery to the fold! Gallery Havarí
features the work of a buttload of the
city’s multi-talented creative types, such
as Sindri Már Sigfússon of Sin Fang
Bous and Seabear, Ísak Óli Sævarsson,
Davíð Örn Halldórsson, Bjargey
Ólafsdóttir and our very own funny folks,
Lóa and Hugleikur. RL
No Man’s Land
Lost Horse Gallery
October 9-25
No Man's Land is a term for land that
is not occupied often due to fear or
uncertainty. It is land that is being
disputed by two countries. During war
it is a term used for the area of land
between two enemy trenches that
neither side wishes to openly move on
or take control of due to fear of being
attacked by the enemy in the process.
The theme of both artists' work
addresses a place of unfamiliarity and
transition using installation to create
spaces which impose these feelings.
The artworks conjure up an emotional
sense of No Man's Land, drawing on
feelings of loss and change.
Grapevine’s own Julia Staples
shows a photography installation
of abandoned buildings while Lana
Vogestad's video installation addresses
impermanence, a transitory point
where there is no beginning or end,
and unfamiliarity. Come to the opening
of the exhibition on October 9th at 6pm
for art, beer and ice cream provided
by Ísbúð Vesturbæjar – or check out
their Grapevine sponsored Airwaves
off-venue, featuring more Vesturbær
ice cream and sweet musical
performances. RL
I’m Collecting Monsters In
Your Bed
Gallerí Tukt
October 10-24
Berlin-based artist Frau Grau is
coming to Iceland. Carmen Maria
Traud will hold her first solo show at
Gallerí Tukt and she’s here to show off
her childlike yet intelligent illustrations.
Her drawings can be described as
microcosmic studies of an ambivalent
world which spread a whole lot of
happiness. Although simple, they
have a tendency to captivate even the
toughest of critics. Find some hidden
treasures that will seize your heart and
pet your soul. LP
Free trips for all to Viðey
Island!
Sundahöfn Harbour
October 9-11, 8pm
It’s time to spread the message of
make love not war! The Imagine Peace
Tower is a memorial to John Lennon
from his widow, Yoko Ono, and the
time has come to light the thing. On
a clear night, this beacon of light can
reach an altitude of 4.000 metres,
and it’s located on Viðey island near
Reykjavík.
Iceland was selected for the
project because of its geo-thermal
energy grid, which powers the light.
Now check this out: Yoko Ono is
offering trips to Víðey during the
first weekend of the lighting, free for
all! Just take the ferry at 8pm from
Skarfabakki pier at Sundahöfn harbour
from October 9-11 and embark on a
guided tour of Viðey, where history,
nature and art are combined. The
Peace Tower itself is lit every night
from October 9, Lennon’s birthday,
through December 8, his dying date.LP
