French-Icelandic band Klezmer Kaos is releasing a new album and they want
to celebrate that with you! Having toured all over Europe, they are now back to
present what they have been working on. Their new album, called ‘Froggy,’ is once
again inspired by Icelandic, Yiddish and traditional Klezmer tunes.
They describe themselves as a chaotic group, which seeks to reinvent well-
known tunes. They hence combine classic expertise with rock and jazz sounds.
The Icelandic clarinettist Heiða was seized by the beauty of Jewish folklore and
has experimented with it ever since. So come along to NASA and let Klezmer Kaos’
folky music enchant you!
Explore Image, Body, Pathos

The exhibition ‘Image, Body, Pathos’ displays paintings by the artist Antoni Tàpies.
The Catalan artist is hailed as “the last great artist of the 20th century.” The exhibi-
tion consists of paintings on canvas or wood—spanning over seven decades from
1958 to the present. Included are many key works that exemplify Tàpies’ unique
use of materials that range from sand, cement, paste and granite dust to everyday
objects.
It is the biggest exhibition that the Reykjavík Art Museum has ever imported
from abroad. The artworks only arrived after weeks of transportation from Germany
to Reykjavík, and some of the paintings were stuck on the Faroe Islands due to bad
weather conditions. Let yourself be overwhelmed by this great artist’s works.
Friction: Art And The
City
April 14 – May 12, every day except
Monday, from 13:00—17:00
ASÍ Art Museum, Freyjugata 41
Free
Friction is an exhibition curated by
Einar Garibaldi Eiríksson, Kristinn E.
Hrafnsson and Ólafur Gíslason based
on the idea that artists use the space
the city has to offer. The exhibition
includes works by a number of artists
known for their profound interest in the
diverse context of art and urban com-
munities in recent years.
The project consists of works at
different stages: from ideas to already
implemented works, ranging from
simple presentation of the city as art, to
works with any type of topographic in-
terventions in public spaces, as well as
complex social connections. Art in this
context is used as a tool to increase
our knowledge and understanding of
the urban environment and its com-
munity. In addition to the participating
artists, different scholars support the
projects with their research, writing and
publications. Different procedures lead
to different results—and this is where
friction comes into play.
