Reykjavík Grapevine - 28.09.2013, Síða 23

Step into
the Viking Age

new Settlement Exhibition. The focus of the
exhibition is an excavated longhouse site which
dates from the 10th century ad. It includes
relics of human habitation from about 871, the
oldest such site found in Iceland.

Multimedia techniques bring Reykjavík’s
past to life, providing visitors with insights
into how people lived in the Viking Age, and
what the Reykjavík environment looked like
to the first settlers.
The exhibition and
museum shop are open

Powerwalk
“Passage2011” involved the artists pulling a red boat across
the Schlegeis Glacier in the Alps. A resulting exhibition,
which contains a short film and photographs shot during the
crossing, as well as the boat itself, is displayed at the National
Gallery of Iceland until October 27.
For their new project, “Powerwalk. Going for a charge,” the
two friends are hiking up Vatnajökull with small, self-made
wind turbines on their backs. The energy that is produced
this way is going to be stored in special batteries used for
powering two washing machines after they return.
You can follow their new project, “Powerwalk- Going for a
charge” at www.powerwalk2013.org/.
