HA – Sara Björnsdóttir
1.100 ISK
Reykjavík Art Museum - Hafnarhús, Tryggvagata 17
The walls will literally come to life in this three-
dimensional exhibit from Sara Björnsdóttir. Her HA
installation will fill the exhibition room with images of the
space itself. Sara studied at the Chelsea College of Art
and Design in London and at the Icelandic College of Art
and Crafts. Over time Sara has attempted to move away
from material art towards more conceptual works. This
will be her sixth work of this nature, in which she will try
to make the viewer more aware of his surroundings. AJ
Johan Glans stand-up
2.990 ISK
The National Theatre, Hverfisgata 19 20:00
It’s no small feat to be considered by many to be the
funniest man in a country of just over nine million people,
but Johan Glans is one of Sweden’s comedy kings. He’s
also a fairly decent actor, if his appearance in a Swedish
language version of Monty Python’s ‘Spamalot’ counts
for anything (which it should). But Johan’s home is on
the stage, with a microphone and an audience that may
or may not laugh at his jokes. He’ll return to his stand-up
roots with a “world tour” of the Scandinavian countries
before returning home to Sweden. And just in case
Swedish humor doesn’t translate well, Icelandic comedian
Ari Eldjárn will open. AJ
Summer Concerts – preludes for piano
1.000-2.000 ISK
The Culture House, Hverfisgata 15 20:00
It’s Sunday, also known as that point in the weekend
when it’s time to start winding and get ready for the
week. And what better way to relax, and get your weekly
dose of culture in, than with a classical music recital
at the Culture House? Icelandic-American pianist Dr.
Kristín Jónína Taylor will finish off the Summer Concerts
series with preludes by the following composers: Claude
Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff, César Franck, Gorge
Gershwin and Hjálmar H. Ragnarsson. If the concert is
particularly moving, guests are free to meet Taylor after
the performance. AJ
