Visiting Gallery Kling & Bang is like
a trip to outer space
Gallery Kling & Bang
Free
A new transcendental exhibition is open-
ing in Gallery Kling & Bang. The exhibit's
description is out of this world: “Since the
beginning of time we have been fighting for
our survival, this is in theory a lost cause as
we are programmed to self destruct, and also
to finish the great task of moving into the
hyper real as a way of transformation into
another space. This means that humanism
will end as an unsynchronized primal provo-
cation, and will also in the end call forth the
end of the feeling of touch, smell, sight, and
hearing... And then again the beauty of the
cosmic world is that it will continue evolving
as an identity of its own but often will use its
energy sources from the activity that appear
in the grid system. The fundamental truth and
the real source of happening here is expan-
sion but this is buried within every singular
cell that exists within a solar system.” Ragnar
Jónasson and Tómas Lemarquis will exhibit
videos, photographs and sculptures. Go
check it out, it will definitely be mystical. WW

Creative young businesses usually operate from a laptop in a coffee house. If you happen to be
one of them, grab your laptop and meet some other fellow creative café cruisers at the ‘you Are
In Control’ conference. The conference features talks and discussions about interesting matters
of business relating to creative industries, including music, media, arts, design and gaming. The
Grapevine has put together a musical line-up to enjoy between conference sessions. Borgar
Magnason on classical contrabass will perform in the morning of October 1. During lunch,
Agent Fresco will spice up the food with some vibrant rock. With sounds that seem to penetrate
to the bone, Mammút will take over as day one draws to a close. Day two will start with Sóley,
the songstress who will perform some dreamy acoustic tunes. The jazz ensemble of Tómas
R. Einarsson will play at what is bound to be one of the highlights of the conference, the New
Nordic Food profiling and showcase event. The infamous Dikta will close day two as guests
enjoy cocktails. Enjoy the music and get connected! WW

All you lucky bunnies who aren’t working on

acoustic chill sessions are two hours of live
melodies to relax and put your feet up to. The
gigs feature a mix of new and established
musicians with upcoming acts including Sva-
