Reykjavík Grapevine - 14.03.2014, Blaðsíða 33

Form, Colour, Body: High Voltage / Danger
Listasafn Íslands | 1,000 ISK

Magnús Kjartansson was a leading figure
of Icelandic visual art in the latter half of
the 20th century. His uncanny ability to
bring together figurative and abstract art
earned him respect from both the domestic
and international art world. The late artist's
use of bright colours provides just the right
ingredients for viewers to embark on an
introspective journey, pondering the world
and their place in it. Show up with a full
stomach and your thinking cap on. FQL

Moses Hightower For A Soulful And Sexy Night
Gamli Gaukurinn | 21:00 | 2,500 ISK

Moses Hightower will be performing their
poignant soul music in the intimate Gamli
Gaukurinn venue for what should be a
wonderfully dreamy evening. The venue's
quaintness will complement singers
Steingrímur Karl Teague and Andri Ólafsson's
falsetto voices and their superb lyrics, the
latter earning them a nomination as 'Lyricists
of the Year' by the Icelandic Music Awards
for their 2010 album 'Búum Til Börn' ("Let's
Make Babies"). Moses Hightower is known
for their refined funk and unostentatious
soul, and we are really looking forward to
getting lost in their harmonious and beautiful
vibe. Be there or be forever labelled a square
uninteresting banker. FQL

Valdemar Pustelnik Stand-Up Comedy
Bar 11 | 21:30 | 2,000 ISK

Valdemar Pustelnik's jokes are as funny
as his beard is fiery red and as dark as it
is fuzzy. He is one of Denmark's leading
alternative stand-up comedians, and in his
current programme he mixes anecdotes
with his own puzzling perspective on life,
politics and everything else that can be sa-
tirically reinterpreted. Gagster Rökkvi Vé-
steinsson, one of Iceland's comedy kings,
will put the icing on the cake, making this
an outrageous show not to be missed by
anyone. YN

March 20 at 21:00 A BARGAIN FOR A GREAT LINEUP
Kristinn "Kiddi" Arnbjörn Guðmundsson
is fortunate to have lots of musical friends
as he is in need of expensive treatment after
a recent stroke left his left side paralysed.
Morðingjarnir, Strigaskór nr. 42, For A
Minor Reflection, Smári Tarfur and LITH
put on a heck of a show at Gamli Gauku-
rinn for a meager 1,000 ISK. All proceeds go
to Kiddi and his family.
April 1-4 GREEN DAYS Master students from the
Department of Environment and Natural
Resources are organising an environmental
event at the University of Iceland featuring
lectures, panels and numerous work shops.
Famous keynote speakers include mayor Jón
Gnarr. Free admission.
March 14 at 21:00 ELECTRONIC ORGANIST The
critically acclaimed Canadian electronic art-
ist Tim Hecker is making his way to Iceland
again, to play a gig at intimate venue Mengi.
He famously recorded his 'Ravedeath, 1972'
album in Fríkirkja church, rocking the pipe
organ like never before. Tim probably can't
fit the instrument into Mengi, but it'll still be
a bang of a show. Admission 3,000 ISK.
