Do you love Icelanders who’ve gone to Germany and are
totally artsy? Then you will dig Hlynur Hallson! He’s been a
name to watch in the North of Iceland, and is putting on a
show on in Akureyri’s Listagilið. Combining a wide range
of mediums, Hlynur has won several awards, including the
Kunstverein Hannover in 1997, and being Akureyri’s town
artist in 2005. The show itself is in Kartöflugeymslan, the top
floor of Listagilið, and showcases selected works of Hlynur
from the last decade. TGB

STEYPA
Old Herring Factory, Djúpavík
June 1 - August 31
The old herring factory in Djúpavík has exchanged fish for photog-
raphy. Djúpavík, in Iceland’s mystifying Westfjords, is the host of a
summer long photography exhibit entitled, STEYPA (Icelandic for
concrete). The exhibit will feature the work of both Icelanders and
non-Icelanders as they each explore their unique experience with
Iceland. If the scenery wasn’t reason enough to take a drive to the
Westfjords, you now have another excuse. SS
