What is a book? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it do?
These are among the questions Rebecca Goodale poses in her new exhibition
opening at the Gerðuberg Cultural Centre until October 28. Graphic artist Rebecca
works in Portland, Maine, and has held exhibitions previously across the United
States. Her art form is remarkably innovative, making individual books in limited
numbers which challenge the traditional notion of what a book ought to look like
and stand for. Her work is highly valued among those who come to hold any of it
in their possession: even the materials she is known to produce herself, making
each work truly a one-of-a-kind.
This exhibition brings together books of hers of every size and shape, along-
side collages, paintings and prints—a genuine celebration of the flair for design
and the handicraft of print and paint. Her latest works explore natural life, having
for the last decade been working to protect and preserve the endangered animals
and plants in her native Maine. These works bring together text and image, por-
traying the creatures that she captures as individual lives above all. MOB
The gallery hosts an exhibition
showing 40 years of works by artists
from the Reykjavík Association of
Sculptors.
Runs until September 16

American book artist Rebecca
Goodale showcases her works in

Harpa
How to Become Icelandic in 60
Minutes
Join us for a comical theatre
performance about all kinds of aspects
of Icelandic culture. If you're sick of
feeling like a tourist everywhere you
go, this show is for you. Tickets are
3,900 ISK and Harpa hosts two to
three shows per week in the Kaldalón
or Norðurljós halls.
Runs until September 22
i8 Gallery
Egill Sæbjörnsson
An exhibition of new works will
continue the Icelandic artist's
experimentation with elements of
sculpture, animation and sound.
The exhibition consists of three
installations where the communica-
tion between sculptural objects and
computer-animated image projec-
tions create self-generative works.
Runs until August 30
